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.

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.

South Africa are definitely supplying arms and ammunition to Russia, that's a given.
Ukraine, your wasting your time with Ramaphosa as he will not help you, he just likes the cameras, he has no power over other African countries as we have become a laugh for the world to see.
Oh, Cyril Ramaphosa, give some of the money stolen by the ANC/EFF Alliance which means you mr President, the buck stops with you, give your wealth that was stolen from your people to support Ukraine, i bet you will refuse this request
@user-fd9gr7vk2i

The South African Government are useless, they must first fix😂 our country, which the ANC/EFF have destroyed economically and socially, Cyril Ramaphosa is a Russian brother from another mother

If the South African Government never stole or farms and killed our farmer, if we had trade expertise in this country, but because we older white tradesmen and trade instructor's, as myself , we will never get to train a generation due to reversed racism.

And this message is for the United States and Israel, there had better be a ceasefire immediately or the world will turn on you, stop the genocide 😐😞🌍.
Putin is laughing as he has a finger in every war going on in the world.
Putin, just wait a bit longer till South Africa votes.
The Democratic Alliance will win, because they are the only party going beyond their duties to support the people who are in dire need of everything.
I plead with all South Africans, lets finally get on and select the Democratic Alliance as your new government, follow in the footsteps of or Cricket and Rugby teams who play with heart because they love their country and people.
Let's become a first world country and 🌈 Rainbow Nation like Madiba dreamt of.🌈

'I will separate Putin from Xi Jinping': Republican Vivek Ramaswamy's exotic doctrine
Vivek Ramaswamy, American businessman and candidate for the 2024 presidential elections for the Republican Party, has attracted attention in the media due to his unorthodox positions on foreign policy.
Speaking recently at the Nixon Library (California), Ramaswamy explained how he intends – if elected – to carry out one of the most surprising geopolitical maneuvers of the 21st century.
In short, Ramaswamy intends to separate Russia from China and isolate not Moscow, but Beijing! To carry out this maneuver, the Republican pre-candidate intends to use what he called the "spirit of Nixonian realism" (in reference to President Richard Nixon, who governed the United States from 1969 to 1974).

When it is well-known He is very conning and covert. When his actions revel the true ultraviolence. When he dress and speak so formally to cover up his actions. When all 2. rate Russians citizens are
brutally destroyed in war, how is it then Ramaphosa possibly would trust such a guy to like Africa. How is it possible, except if he induce a dream in Ramaphosa of greatness. So when the day comes, P will be gentle to R. Are all Africans that naïve?.

putin is a liar! Ukraine has supplied grain to Africa for a long time without problems. now not long ago ukraine attacked the bridge that goes over to crimea. in response, putin has attacked grain warehouses and threatened all cargo ships crossing the black sea that they will be blown up if they try to cross. no shipping company dares to cross the black sea now. This has now led to Russia taking over from Ukraine when it comes to grain.
Putin is now trying to be a saving hero for Africa, even though he himself is behind this crisis.

By doing these frequent trips to Russia, African leaders are showing their support. On the face of it, it looks like they're merely there for the free goodies Putin is handing out (grain, weapons, cash etc), but in reality the world is busy choosing sides for WWIII and Africa has clearly chosen. How much longer will the west merely observe?
@edwardburns5431
December 23, 2023 at 6:49 pm
The South Africans are traitors. When Russia, China, and the remaining members of BRICS (minus India) are left behind in the wake of the Wests success, South Africa will realize they choose to align themselves with dictators and inferior cultures. Absolutely pathetic.
