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.

Actually in silence, the majority of the Muslim world is more in favor of Russia even though once upon a time when Russia was under the USSR communist empire, it was the enemy of many Muslim countries. But nowadays Russia is more moderate and open to all religious beliefs.
..and there are several main reasons why many Islamic countries secretly support and favor Russia, because.. :
1). Ukraine has become the Jewish state in Europe.
2). Ukraine is a supporter of the illegal government of Israel and an ally of Israel in Europe.
3). Russia is the main supplier of weapons and defense systems to many Islamic countries.
4). Russia is now more moderate and accepts various religious denominations in its country without pressure, oppression and discrimination against any religious denomination.
5). The change in the Russian administration seems to be more friendly to Islam.

What kind of western order is he talking about? America is in total chaos while these countries are actually refusing to be puppets to anyone.
Crash of Giants by whom? The one who must be the only dominant giant and to maintain its power and dominance is prepared to start WWIII.
Good for India! U.S. citizens don’t anymore have freedom of speech right yet give themselves a right to criticise others. No matter how much BBC is parroting total nonsense there are still people who have common sense and use logic to make their own conclusions.
When someone keeps using the same gaslighting tactics with such arrogance and entitlement time does come when their crap becomes obvious and impossible not to see.
A little kid has more competence than Joe Biden. It’s interesting how the US mainstream media stopped reporting about his involvement in Ukraine that goes back to Obama’s terms when they began to prepare for the war scenario. Why are we not hearing anything about Hunter Biden and his business in Ukraine or about the fact that he is a pedophile and crack head? The world is supposed to go along with a country led by a demented old man whose place is in a care home?
Well, I suppose even that is better option than Kamila Harris, Vice President who can’t put a sentence together and laughs inappropriately as if she has delusions and fairies are with her at all times.
Democracy is nothing but a decoy to establish a system of global slavery with the US on the top. No matter how much this democracy nonsense has been parroted only lunatics can’t see that this situation more and more resembles certain previous regimes that attempted global domination.
Ironically just turned off the electricity grid is enough to cause mayhem. America is starting wars only because that’s their most profitable business….and drugs.
