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.

President Donald Trump has reversed his threat of a 20% fee on all Strait of Hormuz cargo shipping, as the US battles to break Iran’s hold on the waterway.
He said the toll would be replaced by trade and investment deals with Gulf states, just hours before the US resumes a blockade of Iranian ports.
It follows renewed strikes between the US and Iran, which triggered a sharp rise in oil prices as tanker traffic through the Strait has virtually stalled.

He clearly does not value the money, so the word "poor" becomes subjective. I have great respect towards him.

You are mistaken.
He is the reaches men in the universe.
He is more conscious, he is connected with his body, this is what we have to do, to connect with your body and mind then you can have an opinion coming from a narrative that creates an image in the mind. But the question is why you project that image? Do a documentary about that man, I assure you that you will be awaken ….

I think the richest people who are the leaders are the poorest. There reasons why corruption always comes by. José Mujica however, is the true definition of "people's president". Becuase he genuinely cares about his people and their county.

If the wealth were not in just a 10% of the global population, then everyone will be able to have a house a car (second hand) (or bike or push bike ) fresh proper food grow by the individuals and a life that is fare to everyone 😉
