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.

I expected something bad to happen in Ireland for supporting Palestine! I am so sorry for the Irish people. You don't deserve this. I won't advice you to stop supporting Palestine, i would just advice you to keep an open eye and know that they are making you pay the price again. GOD BLESS IRELAND AND ITS PEOPLE. I am really sorry. We love you. Stay safe.

What the F### is happening in Ireland?… Just like PALESTINE and ISRAEL , the hatred between PROTESTANTS and CATHOLICS will never end. Maybe, those in NORTHERN IRELAND just love violence. Any excuse for conflict seems the norm.

The wee protestant boy and other young people who feel trapped in a hopeless situation should be given platform. Ordinary people talking to each other in the North and finding solutions would make a massive difference. Most people on both sides of the conflict are reasonable and just want to live their lives and see harmony in their region.

Massive amount of funding handed out to local projects and interface workers, one side of the wall flourishes while the other side lacks housing and the same level of economic regeneration. The walls have lined many a pocket who still benefit from other people's misery. Many of whom have left their grassroots behind. 🐘
