Putin warns UK over depleted uranium weapons – BBC News
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.

Depleted uranium (DU) has been used in certain military applications, particularly in armor-piercing ammunition and some types of tank armor. Here are some key points about depleted uranium and its use in weapons:
1. Depleted uranium is a byproduct of the uranium enrichment process, during which the isotope uranium-235 is extracted for nuclear fuel or weapons. The leftover uranium, which has a reduced concentration of uranium-235, is known as depleted uranium.
2. Depleted uranium is chosen for military applications due to its high density, which is approximately 1.7 times that of lead. This density provides superior armor-piercing capabilities and is effective in penetrating armored vehicles and bunkers.
3. Depleted uranium is primarily used in armor-piercing ammunition, such as tank rounds and some anti-tank missiles. When a depleted uranium projectile strikes a target, it deforms and sharpens upon impact, enabling it to penetrate hardened targets more effectively.
4. The use of depleted uranium in weapons has generated concerns regarding its potential environmental and health effects. When a depleted uranium projectile strikes a target, it can release small particles of uranium oxide dust, which can pose a risk of contamination if inhaled or ingested.
5. Studies have shown that high levels of exposure to depleted uranium can have adverse health effects, primarily due to its radioactive properties. However, the extent of the risk largely depends on the level and duration of exposure, as well as the route of exposure (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact).
6. To minimize the risks associated with depleted uranium, precautions are taken during its production, use, and disposal. Soldiers and personnel who handle depleted uranium munitions are typically provided with protective clothing and equipment to reduce their exposure.
7. The use of depleted uranium in weapons is a subject of ongoing debate and scrutiny. Some argue that the potential risks outweigh the benefits, while others contend that its effectiveness in military applications justifies its use.
It's important to note that the use of depleted uranium in weapons is subject to national and international regulations and treaties. Different countries may have varying policies and guidelines governing its use, and some countries have chosen to avoid or limit its use due to the concerns surrounding its potential health and environmental impacts.

It is funny.. One guy sends nukes to Belarus on the edge of a warzone, digs trenches in Chernobyl and cuts off power to Europes largest nuclear power plant.. Then blows the dam in territory it holds that supplied cooling water .. Now grumbles over a few Kg of DEPLETED Uranium .. Some people!

Thousands of particles poison the area after every explosion… DU is highly toxic. See: https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/depleted_uranium/ Innocent civilians will suffer the consequences as well. I guess it's a "great opportunity" for USA to test this munition… with Russian… and Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.

Putin would be an IDIOT not to warn us!
This is UK and US doing EXACTLY what they imply Putin would do. And OBVIOUSLY US wants the Ukraine situation to escalate if they are sending this filth over there.
Anyone old enough to remember all the fuss made about radioactive "dirty BOMBS" in the 90's? The bogeyman terrorist device?
Well, what do you think depleted uranium munitions are?
They're just professional miniature dirty bombs!
But then, cluster bombs are professional IRA nail bombs.
So. Who actually uses terrorist weaponry of mass extinction?
NATO!

Run out of places to dump your nuclear waste?
To be it to munitions companies to turn it into profit!
Now we KNOW Biden wants the war to escalate by sending millions of miniature DIRTY BOMBS to Ukraine.
Meanwhile Yugoslavian, and Iraqis are still suffering birth defects, tumors, infertility, and other radiation poisoning effects.
So, WHO EXACTLY are our leaders serving?
Not me! They seem to WANT the earth to be poisoned, war, destruction, and extinction. America's demented form of religious fundamentalism all be having wet dreams with this one.
Extremism at the worst.

The use of depleated urainium is nothingbshort od declaring war with Russia.
Its use, as jhas been proven to have mote that a long term effect on everything it comes into contact with is very well documented world wide.
Its use spells out a straight forward genocide to Ukraine as a whole, let alone the fact that should it be used its main area of use is east Ukraine, the very place where a vast amount of food is grown, not just for Ukraine but for Europe.
Only a complete lunatic would put thiscweapon into the hands of someone who is know the be selling on weapons supplied to Ukraine to line his own pocket, yet the west still carries on doing so knowing this to be the case.
Many may be concerned at China and its attempt to end this conflict, but more that anything else, the very thing that created it are still an area that is mostly skated round so as not to offend tbose concerned.
This conflict did not start with Russia moving in, it started with the U.S. and willing members of NATO moving in with the idea of threatening Russia , as we have heard openly exspessed by members of the U,S. Government.
Never in the history of mankind have we seen such childish behavour,
Russia would remove itself in short order were those of NATO aknowledge the know fact that they have both lied, and shown no repect for promises made in front of the rest of the world, and like it or not, this is fast coming to light across the world.
A nutral Ukraine in fact benifit greatly, in fact more so than any country of the area, so common sense says this is the way to go, nobody BUT nobody is threatening the U.S. or any NATO country, and history shows this be be the case, so why is the rest of the world sitting like children mon their hands while one nation does things that subject the rest of the world to a huge level of instability purely for its own gain.
I look at the U.S. and truly feel amazed that a nation can be so taken in by total stupidity, not only by its government, but by a group that is in no way representative of the voting public, these people are aware that their government has been sidetracked by a group with one thing in mide, PROFIT no respect for humanity, no respect for sovereignty in any shape or form and very clearly, no respect for the people of America, who up to now have been the preverbial mushroom, kept in the dark and feed on bullshit, the end of which keeps pointing to a kind of conflict that none will servive, and for which no method of servival has been created for,
The information given to them is more than childish, stay at home stay inside and listen to the radio( which by the way will be the very first thing that stops working).
I have only one comment for the U.S, and its lap dogs, GROW UP and remember you are where you are because people actualky trusted you to represent their interests, NOT YOURS .

At first I thought the war was just for profit from weapons sales at the tax payers expense organized by Russian Oligarchs and Western elites.
Its becoming clear that its also a way to dispose of Nuclear waste while also making a profit possibly even a way to reduce world population.
When people return to area's of Ukraine after the conflict whether that's Nationals or Russians they will be exposed to depleted Uranium.
Birth defects and Cancers are just some of the side effects of its use in weapons . There is no conclusive proof of this but why would government elites incriminate themselves ?
Covid 19 official explanation the virus jumped from pangolins to humans.
*News update * The bad guy is now China and Covid 19 was a bioweapons leak from a lab . The US funded these experiments but were not aware of them ( im sure ) .
We all know MSM is controlled and just like world leaders its full of lies and deception . ALL BS dont take offence its just business .

Us will give russia a reason to use uranium and put kiev and other cities under a layer of radioactive material. Ukranians will die like rats due to radiation. Why the hell ukranians are not kicking out that western slave zelinsky who is fighting west's war against russia on ukranian soil with ukranian blood??? 😢😢😢
Russia might be having bigger uranium shell arsenal just like the ordinary shells than the whole west combined. And so much uranium pumped into ukraine by both sides will turn ukraine into a uranium mine which will ultimately render ukraine inaccessible to the west which Russia exactly wants😅😅😅😅😅
