The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The BBC has become everything George Orwell warned us about in his book 1984.
The BBC has become very dangerous with their new 'BBC Verify'.
Truth and free speach is dead.
Evil abounds.

Okay but just because Ukraine stop receiving shells like that in 2012, doesn't mean they haven't hung onto a bunch of them till now. Give me a break. Anytime a government or government-funded entity is the arbiter of Truth, we are going to run into problems.

YES "We've had enough of the BBC" funding their staffs peado activities. Its not been "Fit for purpose" for over 20years!
And what is "BBC Verify", how does it justify or even prove its verification is right or true, does its presenters have correspondence with "New Scotland Yard" or even the London Met police, helping them investigate their verifications, the answer is probably "No"!

Marriana Spring, in her recent interview with the editor of The Light newspaper was quick to condemn any violence perpetrated by "conspiracy theorists" Absolutely no problem at all, though, encouraging and promoting Ukraine's Western-sponsored violence against Russia. Yet another example of her obvious cognitive dissonance

The @BBCNews is now trying to take the moral high ground by creating a whole new department called @bbcverrify. As one of the most UNTRUSTED sources of news, this is just another piece of propaganda, but no one is buying it. The @BBC is a family company spending public money. All information put out by the BBC itself needs to be verified. The #UKrain war has exposed Western Media.

It just shows how arrogant and evil they really are. So glad I cancelled my TV licence last year. I follow independent reporters who show the truth about what is really happening out there. After spending well over a decade in the military I quickly learnt how much Governments and the media lie to the Public.

The BBC’s misinformation team? Christ you people have been busy over the last three years – I can’t keep up with all the government sponsored misinformation the BBC has peddled! The BBC used to have a reputation for integrity and impartiality, but not any more. Shame on them for their lack of questioning and investigative journalism. During the Covid nonsense they peddled an alleged daily Covid death toll, but right now we have an unprecedented excess death rate and not a peep. I don’t believe a word the organisation puts out.

the BBC is a propaganda corporation. that above all, defers to the UK government and its agencies and promotes establishment narratives. Its absolutely laughable that they have the gall to claim to be arbiters of truth when they have done nothing but spread propaganda since their inception almost 100 years ago. The BBC should come with a warning label: UK State Propaganda Agency.

@BBC News • Created a ministry of truth, project verify hides all the paedophiles. this is the definition of propaganda state run TV, facts change and involve, for example that the vaccines work and if you went against the agenda you where labelled and demonised as a conspiracy theorist, always do your own homework.
