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.

Putin told Netanyahu that we will not give Sukhoi to Iran as long as F-16 does not come to Ukraine. Now Russia can give Sukhoi to Iran right now because F-16 is given to Ukraine. Putin can now give Sukhoi to Iran because America has given Ukraine F-16.

Wonder who will be longer Putin or Netanuhahu. The greatest Singapore Leader was called a Dictator by the BBC because he was in power for so long NO because he did not follow their rules for development the late Lee Kuan Yu.
If the west do not like a leader you get this nonsense. Then the have the audacity to call Zelensky a democratic Leader when not one person in the Donbas Region voted and they came into power after the Victoria Nulund 2014 Maidan Coup., He has imprisoned or removed all opposition parties in Ukraine, censor all opposing media cancelled the election and BBC is still bloody reporting from Moscow and RT banned in the UK. How is that not a double standard from my perspective in the global south. "Democracy Not Hypocrisy Yes my panwanda"

Everything, and more, they are accusing Putin of, Zelensky is doing exactly the same (banning and imprisoning opposition parties and opponents, journalists, media and religious leaders)……only the BBC isn't telling you that. There is only state approved media in Kiev.
