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 think when russia dropped the white phosphorus on them, it came into contact with water and produced phosphene gas. whether it was intentional or not, who's to say, but that's where I'd put my money.

I saw the video, Ukrainians with a huge stockpile of chemical weapons, the videographer showed Scott Ritter expert investigator, saying he wouldn't show the footage of a Russian dying by a poison gas bomb, Ritter thought it was cyanide. This footage is available, and you talk of Ukrainians coughing, and "SUSPECTED" chemical attack. You are misinformation, aren't you?

Are you sure you have your facts straight ? From what I have seen it appears Ukraine is using chemical weapons dropped from drones.

The only video I've seen of chemical weapons being used is of a drone with canisters of sionide gas being flown by Ukrainian soldiers. I've also seen a video of Ukrainians manufacturing said weapons. Find it it's out there. That's A-war crime never mind the videos of Russian Soldiers being executed. Also a War crime.

Now there are reports of Ukraine using them. Ar the UK and US going to investigate Ukraine? I'll bet not. And I'll bet it was Ukraine to start with. Ukraine is not what you think it is. Shutting down churches, tv stations, anyone that opposes Zelenskyy

There are videos showing Ukrainians soldiers creating chemical weapons and dropping them from drones. Its easy to find. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Russia is using them as well.
@whhmjr
December 31, 2023 at 6:53 am
Videos showing Ukraine stockpiling drones and chemical weapons. Another video shows actual use of chemical weapons on Russians; so don’t be surprised if Russia retaliates in kind. Ukraine also shooting Russian POWs. Where’s the UN and where’s the OPCW? Why hasn’t the UN protested the American sabotage against the German-Russian Nordstream 2 gas pipeline? The USA/NATO is provoking an escalation. The current balloons flying over USA and Canada are only a distraction from these NATO war crimes.
