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.

Why gang up on Facebook, why is not there a witch-hunt for Google, Amazon, Android, Apple or Microsoft, these are all involved in social media and before Facebook blew up there was always mainstream platforms like MySpace, Yahoo and Reddit equally capable of politically influencing, pressuring women to be perfect and censoring millions.
All these extremely bright people of fallen companies eventually go off and of course gravitated to the fast money, chasing market leaders like FACEBOOK for big cash contracts and all the small separate competitive companies have faulted along the way due to our choice (democracy) and this one giant corporation emerged, an inevitable platform monopoly funded by you through advertising.
The population of this planet decided the amalgamation not the platform, blame yourselves.
You are all responsible, not these super geeks because you like it🤷 much more than reality as it kind of sucks for millions most days and that is how it got in, it offered another reality to live in, because life does not happen as instantly and people are not really that charismatic or safe in real life.
Choice caused it, the horror is humans are addicted to socialising and it does not matter which medium is present.
