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.

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.

I'm delighted that Sophies song has reached the top of the charts with one of the best songs ever written. She is such a great talented singer songwriter. Well done Sophie.

She is very nice and personable but her music is poor in my opinion. I have never understood why she did not record stronger songs with better melodies and hooks. I suspect most people could not name many of her songs beyond Murder On The Dance Floor even though she has released a lot of music in the last twenty five years or so.

It’s similar to ‘Stranger Things’ using Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill!
I love when fantastic music comes back around! ❤🎉

Although I am a Spanish native speaker from Chile, I cant avoid using its rythm with some words in Italian.
I know , I know, I know, I know, I know…like.."tra Londra, Londra, Londra, Londra "(from London like Sophie)…I love her since Groovejet.
Congratulations and greetings from Chile 🇨🇱.
I hope someday come on a tour to South America…we are waiting for you.

Absolutely do not refer to mother as 'Murder on the Dancefloor singer' or we'll start referring to the BBC as Britains Biggest Benefit Scrouger

"Murder on the dancefloor singer"?? ?What a horrible way to introduce her. Sophie Ellis-Bextor is her name. The content manager of this account should get sacked.

Greg Alexander of The New Radicals of “You get what you give” fame, amongst many others (ie: “The game of love” by Santana) wrote that song. He should be given more credit. What a pure genius. 😊
