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.

But what exactly is LatinX? Because it does appear to be meaningless in the context of proper Spanish grammar. Is it perhaps someone's concoction? If we're all on the same page with subverting an entire language over hypothetical genders then great. I would say quit the nonsense and keep the possibility for proper communication intact.

¿Latinos? ¿Hispanos? Tan sólo son conceptos lingüísticos y, o culturales nada de razas. Latinos como tal se extinguieron miles de años atrás, si quedan algunos estan en italia no en América. En cuanto a hispanos ( españoles actuales) sólo estan en España, Europa. Yo soy uno de ellos. En América hay americanos de habla española, o americanos de habla portuguesa, o inglesa y algo de francesa Haití y parte de Canadá.

Puerto Rico was never part of Latin America. That is a lie or False News. Puerto Rico was a Colony of Spain then a territorial possesion of the United States in the Caribbean.
A Region cannot be defined by Language because Language is Fluid and it can be spoken all over the World like Englush Spoken in England, North America, Central America, South America, Caribbean, Hawaii and Australia, New Zealand.
Cuba was more aligned with the Communist/Socialist Soviet Union and really did'nt have anything to do with Latin America except bring death and destruction with guerrilla war fare and division in many countries in Central and South America. Venezuela, Nicaragua, Colombia are just a few Countries in Latin America that were negatively impacted by Cuba Communist Socialist ideology.
Dominican Republic shares an Island with Haiti and this is why all these Countries are in their own Region of the Caribbean and not Latin America. The big lie is these 3 Caribbean Countries are part of Latin America which is incorrect and a big Lie.
If You live in Argentina and you go on Vacation to Puerto Rico you are headed to the Caribbean Region and Factually a United States Territory which was never part of Latin America.
The same Woke Weirdis who invented that Puerto Rico, Cuba, And Dominican Republic/Haiti are part of Latin America are the same people who created LatinX 🤦♂️🤦♂️ Another Delusional way to allow people to identify as Non Binary even though you can only be born Male or Female. XY or XX which reveals a Man and Women.
