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.

And notice the scale, only about one degree in all that time.There is a bigger temperature change overnight let alone between summer and winter just in the UK let alone in some drsrts where they can change 30 to40 deg C over 24 hrs. One deree over a century or more is nothing. Stop being hysterical, you are not going to die of global wrming.
At leastt he american woman understands that you need to stop biulding on flood plains that you know will flood. That is just stupidity and greed.

Don't bother tackling it. Climate change saved 555,103 lives in England and Wales between 2001 and 2020 (ONS, 2022). Go Climate change!

The billionaires have bought democracy by sponsoring the politicians and influencing the media if not owning it.
The only way to tackle climate change is by getting rid of billionaires.
WE don't need them. They need us… to be poor. And their wealth accumulation addiction
means there is no end to their greed and they will do anything to get their fix up to and including destroying OUR planet.

We are constantly lied to about climate change to flees money from hard working people. Climate change has happened since the planet was created. Stop robbing people and calling it green TAX.

Un are telling uk hurry up and become greener because we’re polluting too much when in fact we are one of the less polluting countries of the world!!! There’s something more at play here, when it’s the likes of China, Russia and the USA who are the most polluting

Friends of the Win their Court battle against the Government environment plan and won. The Government now has to show us they are real against adding new Energies an stop oil gas and coal production. Otherwise we aim to stop them adding new Nukeilar plans too.

CO2 Climate change is overhyped. The science and jury is still massively out on how much involvement co2 has or whether the sun is the main driver. But it's convenient to blame co2 emissions since money can be made reducing them but little can be done to regulate the sun. Although bill Gates, China and 52 countries are trying using geoengineering to modify weather and even block out the sun. What could go wrong with that I wonder? 🙄
BBC tell the full story please. Anybody who doesn't believe Google Southern Ocean cooling. Last year (2021) was the coldest sustained period in record in Antarctica. That's a fact. The Northern hemisphere may be warming but the Southern is cooling. And it's man made so many made climate change isn't actually a lie.

There’s a lot of commenters on here that are evil agents sent by Satan to post incorrect information. They always have blank pages and just come on here to confuse people. Jesus is coming soon, please take heed to ALL the worldwide events the Bible spoke about in the last days. We are at that time, don’t gamble with your eternity by thinking that this is just nature or climate change. Accepting Jesus is the only way to escape what will come after this. Please read the book of Revelation in the Bible that explains it all. God bless.
