Israel destroys Gaza tower housing foreign media – BBC News
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.

America, the world knows, Israel is your 51st state. Created by the L.O.N. in 1948 over and on Palestine (a simple fact which you can check). The story goes Israel was created because the L.O.N., felt sorry for the Jews after WW2.
The truth?
Your 51st state was created to protect your Oil interests in the mid-east; as without Oil your country literally dies. Do a Google check to see for yourself how much your country (on the books) give to Israel per annum. Its a disturbing number.
My advice, spend your resources finding an alternative to fossil fuels, instead of propping up your 51st state. Your 51st state which for the last 9 months has been trying to destroy its Supreme Court, all so its leader can avoid the current criminal corruption charges Vs. him.
Though Bin Laden never said 9/11 was him. He did say, it stands to reason the U.S. support for its 51st state is what was the biggest fuel for that event. That event led your country to spend 100's of billion of dollars on a war they ultimately lost and of course listening to your leader today, nothing learned. Shame.
Your country needs better leaders, better foreign policies and better people running for office.
You were a country which took years to enter WW2. Now war has become your middle name, with nothing to show for it but some shocking losses. Korea was not a win, nor was Vietnam and Afghanistan. And how bout that last Iraq war, you and your 51st state told the world a massive and unholy untruth by saying Saddam has Nuclear weapons and invaded…your own journalist's told us the truth on that one.
I hope American's wake up before its too late.
