Iran Hits US Bases After American Strikes on Military Sites

Iran says it has launched attacks on American military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait in retaliation for US strikes on dozens of Iranian military targets.

Get today's headlines by email image.png

The announcement came after the United States said it had carried out large-scale attacks on Iranian positions late on Tuesday.

US strikes dozens of targets

The US Central Command said its forces struck more than 80 targets across Iran, including more than 60 small boats belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

According to Iranian state media, areas including Bandar Abbas and Sirik were hit during the operation. Some people were reported to have been injured by shrapnel.

Escalating regional tensions

The latest exchange follows attacks earlier this week on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has not directly claimed responsibility for those incidents.

The retaliation marks a further escalation in tensions between Tehran and Washington, raising concerns about the potential for a wider regional conflict.

Dispute over ceasefire

Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte said the US military action was "absolutely necessary", accusing Iran of "basically violating the ceasefire".

Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, rejected that claim, saying it was the United States that had breached the truce.

The regime in Iran is despicable, and is behind unrest in the Middle East and elsewhere, but it will never be removed by bombing. I fear it will be around for a long time.

Your post would be spot-on if you just correct one mistake - one word.

Change "Iran" to "Israel" and rejoin the human race.

So true.

To think that Iran is guilty of genocide and ethnic cleansing is beyond ludicrous.

Is it genocide if you slaughter tens of thousands of your own countrymen?

I saw him today on Sky news, claiming once again that Iran was begging him for a deal LOL

When Trump finds himself backed into a corner the creep goes into his default position, which is to tell big ugly lies. He finds this works quite well with a lot of his support base, though the majority of Americans and the rest of the world know that the garbage man is completely full of crap.

i love watching you losers screech.

Question 1:

How can a country that was completely defeated months ago carry on striking American and other targets? It's as if someone has been lying to us!

Question 2:

When are you going to start hitting targets in the Islamic Republic of Japan? I mean, first Pearl Harbour and now this?!

You are uninformed.

Iran war is about Strait of Hormuz now.

Strait is with 12 nautical miles of Iran and Oman considered territorial waters.

25% of all LNG Gas, Oil, etc travels through this Strait.

Unlike others Iran views the Strait under "Innocent Passage". This means controlling passage to only countries who are friendly or have good relationship with Iran.

Additionally with this view Tolls, fees can be charged.

What are you going on about?

What does that have to do with Trump’s incompetence and senility?

Maybe re-read my post.

If following your obvious obsession with the musings of Trump critics saves even one poor rural Cambodian teenager from having to service for pay the body you admit is revolting, then all of us have done a valuable public service.

Well, he's said that the utterly defeated Iran has allowed the SOH to be opened dozens of times after the US/Israeli attacks started, which completely decimated the Iranian military and led to their staggering defeat.

Strangely enough, in the following months all US military bases in the area were severely damaged/obliterated, aircraft were shot down or destroyed on the ground, mighty aircraft carriers suffered debilitating fires and the SOH remains for all practical purposes closed.

So it's all a big mystery as to who is behind this as your 'oh so competent' C-in-C assured us that Iran was vanquished, done for, its goose cooked.

Tell me, do you think it could be those devious Japanese Muslims that are behind it all?🤔

No Need.

I provide high value information. I didn't turn this Post in to the Vent, Rant and politicize. (Low Value, Non-helpful comment Post it has become.

Why you, one person, waste so much time and effort unless you are a Politician, position of influence or position of power to make a Positive change?

In 1982 Iran signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), international straits used for international navigation are governed by the Right of Transit Passage.

Use a couple of AI tools to be educated on what the Iran is Now about, not who started and which commentator said what.

Spending time becoming educated on the topic, Reality of the conflict, and practicing Thai traditions would help to deescalate the issue.

Upon signing, Iran issued a declaration stating that the convention's transit passage regime was a negotiated "package deal" rather than a codification of customary international law. Consequently, Iran maintains that it is not bound by the obligation to allow unimpeded transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz, arguing instead that the regime of innocent passage applies, which grants coastal states greater regulatory authority over foreign vessels. While most of the international community and legal scholars view the transit passage rules as binding customary international law regardless of ratification, Iran continues to cite its non-ratified status to justify stricter controls on maritime traffic in its territorial waters!

Trump is torn between finishing and settling early, before the oil reserves run out, and dragging it out to the mid-terms, so he can declare a state of emergency.

Only problem is that before then, the whole Middle East oil infrastructure might be lying in ruins if the Iranians carry out there threats.

Then where will we all be?

Thanks for that clarification.

The fraudulent nature of Zionist/Hasbara propaganda obscures even the most obvious points in contentious issues like this.
