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.

Now YPG and YPJ has been armed by Peshmarga from Eastern Kurdistan, by U.S. aircraft. and Peshmarga from eastern Kurdistan will get to go through Turkey to help Kobane. so DAESH get big losses. and most of all, Turkey is going to be disappointed in DAESH.

When Israel defended itself and millions of its citizens who were under the attack from ideologically same group like ISIL, the only thing BBC was interested were the local "civilians casualties" Nothing beside the most disgusting manipulations with human emotions regarding children could be seen from this well known world center of Antisemitism and Anti-Israeli hypocricy
Now when Obama and Cameroon are attacking ISIL and causing at minimum 3 times as many collateral damage and civilian victims, we did not even hear a single story.

The Turkish regime is the biggest terrorist, they're providing weapons to ISIS so they slaughter the Kurds, disallowing The coalition to use their bases to attack the IS, the coalition airplanes are coming from 2000km away making the raids ineffective

What I don't understand, if anyone can explain, is with U.S. satellite technology plus spotter planes and drones, how can ISIS move across large stretches of open land in convoys without every vehicle and troop concentration being wiped out by air power. We should be able to completely destroy any convoy in open land. Why is that not happening?

Is anybody from Germany here? I'm trying to help a friend of mine who's a journalist student who is trying to find the whereabouts of the German rapper Deso Dogg/ Abu Talha Al Almani as well as of 2 former Arsenal players Fábio Poças/ Abdu Rahman Al Andalus and Abu Issa Al Andaluzi. If anybody could give me a twitter or facebook account of them, it would be great.
