    Not necessarily worldwide. A pandemic is an epidemic that as spread across a large region. An epidemic that has become widespread across multiple continents can be classed as a pandemic, for example, the Black Death, which affected Asia, Europe and Africa, was a pandemic.

    Coronavirus is a Warning and Punishment sent by God to the Digital Device Idiots. It would be better if people left the Digital Device Clown and care about the Science of Virus.
    This is not the last Virus! if it continues like this, then other Virus varieties are definitely on the way, because in humans, they exceeded their limits like Pharaoh.
    There is no escape from Death!

    The more precautionary measures the common people know, the less possibility of being infected will be. I will wear a face mask that I bought at polloo.com before going out of the home.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



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.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



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.
