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.

Impressive to talk about the conflicts in Syria without mentioning the main driving force behind it, which is Islam, and the inherent mandatory call within Islam to practise violence as an answer. Muslim takes personal offenses and injustices to their person as an offence to God. Therefor in the way muslims react seldomly becomes proportional and balanced, and this is one reason why this part of the world almost always feel out of sync with the rest of the world.

Well, well, what the hell is the fault of the Syrians, that they have to endure the global power struggle on their own land. Wrestle in your own land. Leave our land alone, is it our fault to demand freedom, and when we leave our country we are accused of being cowards and backwards, so go to Hell

The extremists and the jihadists are funded by US. They are being manipulated for US interests in the oil region. And for israel they are making the way for their messiah to come. In their corrupt holy book, their messiah will decend from damascus in Syria. They cannot let christian orthodox Russians and islam iran to lead Syria. But iran is a syiah secte who is actually arrogant of their Persian civilization. They don't really respect Muhammad as the prophet chosen by Allah from the Arab race. Iran wants to be the leader in the islam world with their own islam version. The truth will come soon.
