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.

I permanently left Australia. I was born there but will never return. I thought about moving to North Korea or Saudi Arabia for more freedoms.
Australia bans absolutely everything . Their latest ban, on vapes is done to protect their tax on cigarettes. They are happy for countless to die in excruciating pain from cigarettes for this. The tax they earn from this more than covers all of Medicare which is all but non existent now anyway . A truly evil and disgusting country.

I'm Australian and I'll tell you now the Australian government keeps getting it wrong. It costs about $40 for a packet of smokes minimum for a packet of 20! People have turned to illegal vapes and illegal smokes because the tax is ridiculous! Single use vapes with nicotine have been illegal for a while now and the police do nothing! They even use them! $40 = about £22.

Vapers are 3x more likey to start smoking. The tobacco industry here is furious about it. The vapes are being sold to pre teen kids from shops set up near schools. For once a government is doing a good thing.

What they don’t realise most of the kids are also smokers so they will now go back to smoking

I get ppl vapping to quit smoking but I don’t get kids taking up vapping to be cool. They look like a steam train 😂. I want to laugh everytime I’m fogged.

Be assured, this move by the Australian government is only about protecting tobacco taxation revenues.

This is a total " kneejerk" reaction from the Australian Government…. mainly due to the fact that they cannot get a lot of money from vaping as they do from their" tobacco excise taxing "…. in the UK vaping has been hailed by health professionals as a great way to stop smoking……obviously the Australian Government would prefer people to smoke cigarettes !……….

Face it, life is overrated and the government just expects you to work all effing day, fill their coffers with tax money, and go without any ways to relieve stress.

Australia has not banned vaping!
Australia banned single used disposable vaping because they are a fire risk and people keep throwing them in the bush!

Makes sense to ban an alternative to smoking and a proven way to kick the smoking addiction, so smokers who can't quit, have to keep shelling out $50+ a day. Economics LMAO. And on the Vaping is a gateway to Smoking. Who would give up a blueberry pie for Camel Sh!t?

It shows how ignorant the government are. Of course tobacco companies want vaping banned, its the most effective way to stop smoking.
It's all about money, they don't care about anyone's health. Dishonest government as usual.

Cannot wait to move out of Australia. Just by the way to any utter clown who thinks this will stop anything – It's beyond easy to import THC vapes into Australia. You think customs are stopping nicotine vapes? Educate your drop kick kids, stop trying to be a fascist pig.
