US sends cluster bombs to Ukraine – BBC News
President Zelensky has thanked the United States after Washington agreed to supply cluster bombs to Ukraine.
It’s a weapon that has been banned by more than one-hundred countries around the world.
But Ukraine has been pressing for the artillery shells which drop multiple explosives to help with their counter offensive against Russian forces.
Russia has been using the weapons since the start of the war.
Human rights groups say cluster bombs kill indiscriminately and unexploded devices can pose a danger to civilians for many years.

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.

The cluster bombs are just another escalation by us as we keep repeating foolishly. If we didn’t send NATO equipment to Ukraine every year since the pro-US 2014 coup in Kiev, Russia would not have felt the need to create a buffer zone in Ukraine for its security. We could end the war in minutes by ringing Putin and promising him a NATO withdrawal and to discourage anti-Russian sentiment in Ukraine including the Russian language banning. Imagine a hostile alliance between N Korea, Iran and China (with a history of aggression similar to NATO) sensing missiles into Mexico and arranging a coup, finally banning the English language in Mexico and pointing all the weapons over Washington. If we waited 8 year before demilitarising Mexico with force, as Russia waited 2014-2021 with Minsk II, it would be a miracle. We would likely just nuke Mexico within days.
