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.

isis thrives because it sells the oil it controls, saddam hussain blew up the oil wells in Kuwait only western technology can bring the wells back into production so if the gulf states are not backing isis with critical funding isis will collapse within a short time

The middle east will never know peace. The rulers are incompetent and tribalism runs rampant. I say we focus on defending ourselves and our territories until one group of crazies comes out on top, then fight that group, while assisting those who truly want to leave (after being vetted by intelligence agencies, of course). We can't impose peace, and we can't force freedom on the region.

NATO can take out Islamic State? Dream on . . . no political will nowhere. Will take a nightmare Pearl Harbor/ 9-11 or rise of Islamic Superstate into other Muslim countries. Who wants WWIII? Seems quite eerily similar to Hitler and Nazis in the early days . . . only now it is not appeasement (who can negotiate with Psychotic Isamists???) its Disbelief and Denial.

Nice. Send the weapons…. It'll just make IS stronger in the near future… But why does the world need to unite to defeat IS? I'll tell you. It's cos the powers that be can't afford to let Islam be viewed as an alternate SYSTEM. True freedom to worship The Creator and not feel alien for doing so and not a system of false gods and interest

Rules of war …. that's why everyone will have a really hard time defeating Isis , Isis doesn't play by rules … Russian and the USA both went into Afghanistan , either hasn't fair too well …. Pull the white gloves and roll up the shirt sleeves and kicked their behinds and be done with it .

were these not the same scumbags that nato country's were arming last year, nothing said about what israel is doing to palestinians. isis or isil or is or whatever they are calling it now is an american invention used to justify more war in the region.
