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.

Alot of people saying sorry in here as if sorry makes woudl build Iraq,
As if sorry would revive those were killed with your taxes.
The public was somehow and much extent explicit with the invasion,
They didn't want Iraq have nuclear weapons as they do ,
They wanted that America dictates to the other nations,
Even they were explicit in the first years but got mad when they've seen too much number of their soldiers being killed in the gorilla warfare.
They weren't mad at the US bombarding the iraqi cities,they weren't mad at all these horrors bcs they believed in America first.

This is true democracy. The iraqi people wanted saddam back, not the current puppet government. In a real democracy, saddam would be voted in by a huge majority.

Say what you want about Hussein, Gaddafi, and Assad. They are/were brutal tyrannical dictators I get it, but at least the nations they are run/ran were countries. Iraq and Libya aren’t even countries anymore. They are literal failed states now a days. Libya straight up has slave markets and Iraq is a hotbed for extremist groups all over the country. ISIS literally took advantage of power vacuums that existed in Iraq and Syria. Those countries are in worse situations now then they were before. Of course these terrible leaders had to go eventually, but there’s a proper way to do it. What America/NATO did was not it.
