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'm undecided about the cause behind the pathogen source and the reason for it. So far, I'm absolutely certain we'll never know the reason s behind it or anything else for that matter when relying on BBC News for 'answers'.
For example, I've just watched Atkins on BBC News website pathetically try to explain away the reasons behind the HGV driver crisis here in the UK.
Atkins fails to explain the main reason behind it: PAY! (or rather the lack of it!).
There are tens and tens of thousands of licensed HGV drivers in the UK who are able to drive a HGV tomorrow. Yet they chose not to because of lack of pay, lack of amenities (toilet/showers) and a whole raft of logistical and financial barriers beyond BREXIT and Covid ( which compound the issue)..
In summary, BBC News is a government spiel machine that should only be listened to as part of a more exacting and superior journalism that exists elsewhere.

Comes out right after China bans the BBC.
I'm no apologist for Xi or the CCP, but the timing of this piece looks very dodgy to me.
The BBC I feel has really lost the plot when it comes to objectivity, it's just opinion 'journalism' like you get on Fox. Which at least you decide to pay for, or not, whereas if you own a TV paying the BBC isn't optional – it's a legal requirement.
I'm still amazed frankly that this is the case in 2021. The TV license needs binning.

China has saved lots of people and protect its people effectively. UK, works extremely hard stigmatizing China. Even today UK fools its own people to blame China for UK’s own faults,herd immunity, variation

Where's prof Charles Lieber now? How come there was no investigation like 911? He was in charge why was he released on bail with no investigation?

It seems to me that until now, with reference to experimental mRna vaccines, only the following facts exist:
1) The deaths directly caused by new vaccines;
2) The deaths caused by Covid of people already vaccinated;
3) The billions collected by the pharmaceutical companies;
What remains is a confused series of promises and hypotheses.

I already investigated and found that COVID's from damaged lung cells, when damaged by heavy metals in the atmosphere the lung becomes more susceptible to minor infections. Strongly, the Western governments spray us with Cd and Pb as well as add it to agricultural food, not to mention the petroleum industry and other metal working excreting these into the environment.
