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.

Why should you need somebody (in)famous with the same ethnic blending as you to feel represented? You're reducing yourself and others to race instead of what they stand for. Do you really see yourself represented in someone who laughs at the working class, calls 18-24 stupid, says her greatest qualification for this role is her race and gender and who won't visit the Mexican border to assess the humanitarian crisis? But yes, race is the most important thing…

I notice the BBC refused to cover her condemning the detention facilities at the border under Trump then laughing when asked if she would visit them now under Biden as the Mexican border is at its worse for 20 years.

I personally feel everybody life matters. History of White people will always be there and it will not change. But now I feel time has changed and we should believe more in positivity. More they bring Black people more hate will be created i guess. Because their are other race colours people too who feel bullied etc but know one talks about that. So bottom line is..Everybody life matters then just one gender life.

"He doesn't eat enough Caribbean food."
Lol and if they did they'd say he was being used as a token. You just can't win with this woke social justice 🤣🤣

FACT: Weaklings, non-entities, and mediocrities are threatened by a strong, smart, accomplished woman like Kamala Harris. She is everything her haters wish they were — but don't have the drive, talent, or brains to become.

Kamala is an American woman whose mother was from India, that's all that is Indian about her. She probably doesn't even understand a language other than English. She herself started acknowledging her 'Indianess' only recently because it's more intersectional. I don't even know why we Indians are going nuts for her.

Anyone who looks up to Kamala is a complete utter disgrace she does not represent any of the Indian or black ancestry! By far she is more of a opportunistic person who just Ioved to ride on the race cards but do nothing for the people she should represent!
@Sassar
January 21, 2024 at 8:01 pm
If you think about it, that's a pretty insulting and ignorant view. And the fact that the BBC has given her a spotlight, they're one and part of the same creature.
