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.

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.

As for me, I have nothing but anger toward the Yamagami suspects.
Within a few years, the world will learn the horror of Abenomics. They will realize the horror of a policy based on perpetual motion.
But the person most responsible no longer exists. It is the fault of the Yamagami suspects.

No, the reason Japan is so safe is not because of the gun control laws, even though that may help a little bit, indeed.

Abe treasured massive Japanese investments in China and in Russia he made huge investments in Russian oil and gas…
In particular one of Abe's leading missions in his long tenure as PM was to resolve the territorial conflict with Russia. Which over the contested northern islands which Russia had seized after WW2 and by solving that they could finally reach a peace agreement they were still officially at war because they never had a peace agreement and that would facilitate rapid expansion of trade and Japanese investment in the in the Russian far east one of the last new frontiers in the world huge development. …Putin and Abe met 27 times during Abe's administration Abe went to Russia 11 times …at several points negotiations seemed to be absolutely certain to close to be a slam dunk the agreement. The first problem was 2014 the Maidan coup in Ukraine the elected gov was overthrown by U.S. and British sponsorship with the Nazis and soon after that during the year of 2014 Obama and his national security adviser Susan Rice went to Japan met with Abe and railed at Abe and threatened him that he must join the sanctions against Russia ….people close to Abe confirmed that Abe since that time had visceral hatred for Susan Rice ….he did agree to impose sanctions they were sort of symbolic they didn't have any particular economic impact….but he was forced to stop the negotiations with Putin. Susan Rice is now Biden's director of domestic policy council leading advisor to the Biden Administration…and she's a killer she was proud of the fact that she was one of the leading forces that disbanded a full scale military assault on Libya for no reason no threat to us . .. Gaddafi was not threatening anybody but she led that proud fight a genocidal war and the assassination…she's a killer keep that in mind.
