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.

Note to future viewers: this report from 2015 corresponds to the Amnesty report that accuses Hamas operatives of interrogating and torturing (or otherwise ill-treating) members of Fatah, and other suspected 'collaborators' (with the IDF occupation forces) during the 2014 Gaza war (Operation Protective Edge) — Amnesty reports Hamas use of a disused Al Shifa outpatient clinic located on the edge of the campus as the site where a Hamas' Internal Security detail (a non-military security division of Hamas organization) 'had a room' and carried out some of an unknown number of interrogations (some occasioning death) relating to ferreting out of suspected or alleged collaborators.
This is supposedly supporting evidence that Hamas used Al Shifa hospital complex to justify Israel's claim Hamas used the hospital as a 'command and control center', in their attempt to justify Israeli war crimes of targeting, attacking, and invading this hospital.
