“Tens of thousands dead” in Turkey-Syria earthquake horror – 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.

As a Turk, I am truly sorry for everything, we are all still in mourning. Our people have a peculiarity, our memory is weak. We forgot what happened, how the government treated us in this situation, how rudely throwing money at our children who saw the earthquake and lived it. People here still live in tents, even after 3 months.18,000 buildings were destroyed, 50,000 people died. The unidentified bodies were buried by the backhoe because they were too many.
Presidential elections were held yesterday. The absurd part is that 9 out of 10 affected cities voted for our president to stay the same, not change. They voted in favor of the government, which has not been able to build earthquake-proof buildings in 20 years. Yes, we have a short-term memory… That's all I have to say.

How about we send less planes and tanks to Ucraine and more humanitarian aid to Syrian and Turkish people? Or is it is that we care only when there's a profit to be made?

£5million UK government aid to save lives- £1billion+weapons to kill people in war- it shows where their priorities lie. If the government said they'd only match public donations for war, it probably wouldn't get a penny. Peace is precious. No more war!
