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.

It is clear every time they will impress the Jews and Israel, what would happen if there were no Jews in the world and there was no Israel then there would be no one to blame, even the anti-Semites and the pro-Palestinians could not blame them if we did not exist. To remind all Christians that Christianity came out of Judaism and Judaism is thousands of years old and Christianity only began after the death of Jesus. Even all the ultra-Orthodox who live abroad do not know that if they are against the Zionists it means that they do not want the State of Israel to exist, if there is no Zionism there will be no State of Israel, the ultra-Orthodox who live only according to the Torah and do not have core studies in the schools, the ultra-Orthodox do not know that When the State of Israel was established in 1948 and became an independent state for Jews only, this state was established because of Zionism. Studying Torah would not have helped develop into our beautiful state as it is today. There are few ultra-Orthodox who want the Jewish state of Israel to exist, because in the Torah it is written that God gave us the This country. I am happy to be born in Israel and I will always be happy to be like that until my last day in the world.

It is a resistance movement founded in 1987. Their only goal is to liberate the land of Palestine from the Zionists. The Zionists killed children, killed women, displaced millions of families, stole their land and homes, and destroyed entire cities. The media is owned by the Zionists, and through the media platforms they have deluded people into believing that Hamas is a movement of terrorists. Please search on YouTube for Abdullah Al-Sharif has published a 48-minute video, which is translated into English. In that video, you will understand the whole story.

It’s not even remotely complicated. One side want peace, and a two state solution, whereas the other side’s priority is the destruction of the other. This is way above wanting their own state.

The Palestinians do not harm the children and women of the Israeli occupation. They are only trying to resist the bombing and killing that is happening to them. They are only fighting the terrorists. As for the Israeli occupation, it is the one that kills children, women and the elderly in brutal ways. Search for the truth, do not be blind.

They put up sad pictures of Palestinians filled with the blood of martyrs and attribute them to Israelis in order to win public opinion. Look for the truth of the matter and what the Israeli occupation is doing in Gaza.

This conflict is extremely complicated? Poor BBC you lost all credibility … just do your journalistic work worthy of this name … there is nothing complicated – Israel 🇮🇱 is illegally occupying Gaza and Palestinians territories for more than 70 years.
Gaza is one of the most dense and poorest population in the World (with a 20+ year embargo from Israel) facing one of the most lethal army in the World … Israel is protected by the 🇺🇸 and has carte blanche for this ethnic cleansing … and one of the reason is that Hamas was supported and funded by Israel (nethanyahu) … he doesn’t want Hamas destroyed as it helped him being elected many years ago and that Hamas saved him now! Remember not long ago the protests in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem against this corrupt government … and maybe BBC you should dig on the fact that they have found large reserve of Gaz in the sea belonging to Gaza … you should follow the💰… and the lines were not crossed in the past? You should read report of the UN, amnesty international etc … your Sebastian guy is definitely not the right person to help people understand the clarity of this horrible situation

Welcome all.. I ask you to look at the correct facts because Israel (the Zionists) who claim to be right are liars and have occupied the land of Palestine for more than 73 years. Palestine was blessed with security and prosperity and contained all religions and peaceful people. When Hitler fought the Jews and they became dispersed throughout the land for many years, they invaded Palestine. The people of Palestine honored them until they occupied their land, robbed it, claimed it was their land, and killed the Palestinians. Now Palestine is exposed to the most severe types of torture from Israel (the Zionists), so they kill and annihilate the Palestinian people, by blowing up homes, displacing them, raping, murdering, and imprisoning them. Israel (the Zionists) is an innocent ghost wearing a mask of innocence, and in reality it is malicious, killing the Palestinian people and exterminating them. I am of Arab origin and I know the whole truth. Do not be deceived by the media who distort the facts. Please do so. https://youtu.be/Lb3v8M8dzic?si=yNemC8zNLUUsb6R3 (GO TO WITCH AL GAZERA ENGLISH CHANEL TO LEARN MORE).

This person explaining the conflict cannot even keep a straight face when he says Palestine was not a state, it was a region called Palestine.
Behind his riddles is a simple history. The area was called Palestine. The British promised the area to the jews. The Muslims and Christian palestinians had been living together in peace prior to this. The jews were slowly moved over to Israel, especially after many had lost their homes due to Hitler trying to wipe them out.
When these jews became large in number, they made their intentions clear. They saw it as their holy land promised to them, in the religious scriptures, so they killed as many palestinians as they could and renamed it Israel. The little piece left, is Gaza, a city in Palestine.
Anyone who didn't have the financial means to escape or didnt want to give up their homes, stayed in this prison of a life. They live under the worst conditions and this is a 70 year apartheid.
I have lived most my life in the UK but I have also lived many years in Jordan. There are many palestinians there, who fled their homes. What their families have been through is unimaginable.
Shame on this guy concealing the truth. Karma will deal with it.

Frankly, I have become disgusted and ashamed by this biased media. I saw on Instagram the Palestinian victims that Israel killed. They were not terrorists. They were just civilians, most of them children. They were killed in the most horrific ways. I saw horrific things on many platforms that our media did not mention. Nothing about it. The media is disgusting and biased. There are casualties on both sides. They have nothing to do with what is happening. What is the fault of the civilians in all of this?

If occupation lasts for 70 years it is still occupation.
They will never be land owners.
Hamas is resistance against occupation. As long as there's resistance, the occupation will be occupation.
Western society, which is totally unfair, makes criminals of the resistance because once resistance fades away , isreal will be a country. But will forever be occupation forces …. that's what i have lived and seen as someone close to the boarders of Palestine.
@ayazakaria1468
December 21, 2023 at 1:37 pm
Sorry but it didn't start in 2007. Resistance started because of the oppression of Isreali occupation. To name things rightfully, its a resistance against occupation. You just need to read the history to know better.
@ayazakaria1468
December 21, 2023 at 1:37 pm
Sorry for your narration that blams Hamas only for all what happens but i feel like Palestinians are humans and they have all right to resist the occupation that lasts for 70+ years
