Libya flooding: Fears of up to 20,000 dead – BBC News
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.

There is a problem with electric cars: They are 30% heavier than petrol models. Use more of earths minerals. On a long journey on the motorway service station I saw motorists were arguing that they needed to urgently charge their car to get to work. Batteries have a 5-7 year life. Batteries are charged from roadside chargers powered by coal/nuclear power stations. Because the cars are heavier the tyres are bigger with more effect on the road, lastly miles on a full charge depends on the weight its carrying so that 5 people could reduce the mileage by 25%.

That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10 1 John 1 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. Jesus answered, John 14:6 “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 The rapture is imminent!

Once things happen it's easy to come with blames. If anyone have seen that desert and suggested to make a better dam, in a place that looks completely dry most of the year, they would have said that it was unnecessary and a total waste of money. If you look at the old pictures in Google Earth, both dams were always empty to the point of having bushes growing in the dry bottom. You could see them in the satellite images. You would even wonder why anyone would make a damn in a place that had no water to collect. The people saying that the dam needed to be "fixed" don't understand that the dam was originally designed so that the duct that lets the water out when it fills to the top had a width that was adequate for the little water that you expect every year there. Obviously the cause here was that the extraordinarily large volume of water rushing in from far away in the desert due to this super rare storm was excessive for the diameter of the tube, so the water kept flowing over the dam wall and eroded all that gravel and sand around it. It was doomed to go down no matter how good the dam walls could have been. It was not able to take all that water, that's it. Then you see the topography of that area… It's a very long canyon all the way from the first dam to the second, which was right at the edge of the city. The water had no place to go and spread through all that length, so it completely came down, full volume, and the only escape was once it got to the coastal plain where the city was built. It was a death trap from kilometers away. All the water from the storm collected by the desert had nothing but a single point of exit: right in the city. It was a sad coincidence of very rare events that could only lead to a disastrous outcome. Blaming anyone in this is mostly pointless.

Prayers for the people of Libya.
In 2010, the year before it experienced its ‘revolution’, Libya had a literacy rate of 88.4%, a life expectancy of 74.5 years, gender equality, and various other positive indicators. In addition, Libya enjoyed 4.2% economic growth in 2010 and could boast of foreign assets in excess of $150 billion. Loyalist Gaddafi forces were defeated by NATO not the opposition forces emanating from Benghazi. Gaddafi’s crime in the eyes of the West was not that he was an authoritarian dictator – how could it be when their closest ally in the region is Saudi Arabia? His crime in their eyes, it was revealed in a tranche of classified Clinton emails, released by Wikileaks in January of this year, was his intention of establishing a gold-backed currency to compete with the euro and the dollar as an international reserve currency in Africa. In this regard the then French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, and then US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, were key actors in pushing for NATO intervention. Libyan oil was also a factor. Clinton who was filmed clapping her hands and laughing at the news of Muammar Gaddafi’s murder in 2011, Clinton who pressed for the military intervention that ended in Libya’s destruction while Obama cheered for the "Arab Spring". nonexistent
Prayers for the people of Libya.
