US strikes two Syria bases used by Iran-linked groups – BBC News
The US has carried out air strikes against two weapons and ammunition storage facilities in eastern Syria used by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the strikes were in response to recent attacks on US bases in Iraq and Syria by Iranian-backed militia groups.
The US strikes were “separate and distinct from the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas,” he said in a statement.
Iran did not immediately comment.
It is not yet known if there were any casualties from the attacks.

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 CAN IMAGINE WAORLD WAR 3 IS HAPPENING RIGHT UNDERNEATH OUR OWN NOSES. We are just not being told about it, a secret war underneath our own begotten eyes. Wars can now be fought without battlefields with sanctions, diplomatic isolation, cyber-attacks, trade embargos, in space, through proxy wars, now war has a whole new meaning because the same objectives can be achieved without obvious signs of conflict. Look at the Wagner group and Putin. The difference is the allies the UK has and the 5th Article of the NATO treaty.

I say there is no reason for the Palestinian to be where they are but to serve as an open wound that islam can bleed at any time and do when it suits their ambitions which has always been world hegemony…! full stop…! just what is the industry which keep the Palestinian where they demand they must be? Just what can't be cared for and over seen by world heritage as far as historical land marks? Except by being groomed from birth weaponized to despise another human culture and race so they can self identify? Stop being sycophantic people you wouldn't allow one of your children to do this filthy cry wolf trick when it is so obvious that they are taking clear advantage to provoke their brother and sister! So grow up and recognize this muslim hostile maneuvering which they purposely through their innocent into the fray of battle to bleed world sympathy all while cowardly sending their missiles of narcissistic caste syndicate the islamic blood letting is a crime against all humanity so wake up world…!

So does this mean anyone who supports and houses US military is a legitimate Russian target? These are the bases where the USA steals Syrian oil. Stop the slaughter of Palestinians…and using it as an excuse to wage war against some other country. USA = war criminals. Israel = war criminals – they aren't the only ones but if you've gotta be best in the world at something it might as well be best war criminals
