Ukraine counteroffensive: Tactics, progress, and the Russian response – BBC Newsnight
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 Iranโs ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iranโs 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.

If anyone does not know. Let me explain one fact about the current government of Ukraine, they are not legitimate.
In 2014, there was a military seizure of power, armed militants seized power in Ukraine and forced the current government to flee the country.
These militants declared themselves the main ones in the country.
Since then, since 2014, militants have been ruling on the territory of โUkraineโ.
Having gained access to the state army, these militants unleashed a war with Russia, in exchange for the fact that these countries recognize them as if they are legitimate.
There is no need to recognize the terrorists of Ukraine as if they are the government, they are not, these are war criminals who have seized the country by armed seizure.
For 9 years now, terrorists in the power of Ukraine have been waging a military conflict with Russia for the money of Western countries that have agreed to sponsor them.
It is not normal.
Understand that Ukraine is not a state since 2014, it is a territory ruled by terrorists and neo-fascists.
Zelensky is the leader of this terrorist organization. He is a dictator, he bans culture, books, music, religions, they close churches. Nazi dictator of the 21st century.

In 2014, Ukraine was captured by armed militants after an armed uprising. Militants took over the government and forced it to flee Ukraine. They destroyed the constitution and all laws.
Since 2014, Ukraine has been ruled by war criminals who unleashed a war with Russia for the money of Western countries, in exchange for the fact that these countries recognize them as if they were legitimate.
But they were not elected democratically, these are war criminals who seized the country with weapons!!!
Zelensky is their leader, he is the head of the criminal military organization "Ukriana", he is a dictator, he bans culture, books, music, religions, they close churches, they put people in prisons, and for the money of Western countries he is ready to kill the entire population of Ukraine in a conflict with Russia. Tell me, in which country in Europe is this normal? Nowhere.
Zelensky dictator, do not believe a single word of his, he is a liar and a hypocrite!

The news media should leave Ukraine alone about this counter offensive. Ukraine is fighting for their lives and land. This is not a GSME to be telling them to go faster. The news media cannot be sitting comfortably in their offices directing a bloody war in Ukraine

Zelenskyy needs to STOP micro-managing this war.. shut up and GET fighting. If Ukraine wastes ANOTHER 40 days to beginning of August… we will drop our support for Ukraine wholesale.. 2800 armor and they do nothing.. over 3500 various river craft… adn nothing.
… its a failure…. Utterly.. EVERY TIME Ukraine gets the advantage, they sit on their asses and let Russia regroup, relocate and build layers of mines and defenses…. utterly balless… are there ANY Patton and Ike like leaders in Ukraine who will STOP listening to money-lusting US generals who approved those crappy Bradley-death-coffins..and sent 100s of VIETNAM era vehicles to ukraine… as if ukraine were totaly stupid.. are they?
