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.

North Korea must have seen very little value in him to send him back. Had he been even a half-way decent speaker, I’m sure they would have held onto him for propaganda value.
He’s in for it now. The US government will not look kindly upon him for desertion. It’s doubtful that he had any useful information to give the North Koreans, but they must punish him to deter others (not that many US soldiers would ever think to defect to North Korea). He is looking at a long, long time in military prison and the forfeiture of all military benefits and very poor employment prospects going forward. Maybe he can write a book about his experiences and make a little money that way. But “I ran to North Korea and they sent me back!” Is hardly a compelling story.

So why was he in the US military in the first place with a history of bad behavior. Sounds like he didn't grow up with that discipline in his life and wants to run away from his troubles running in to North Korea…..sad and ignorant

Not much mentioned on American media. I heard Fox briefly mention the release had taken place, but beyond that, seems the consensus has been why worry about someone who didn't even want to be here in the first place? He's defected so let him rot kind of mentality. No update on his mental condition, physical condition or anything. Now there's much more going on. He's likely been forgotten media-wise.
