Attacks on three locations across Iran came after three tankers in the strait of Hormuz were targeted on Tuesday

The US military carried out strikes on Iran for a second day, hours after Donald Trump said that an interim agreement to end the war was “over”.

Late on Wednesday Iranian state media reported explosions in the port city of Bandar Abbas in the strait of Hormuz; in Sirik, another southern coastal city; and the south-western Bushehr province, home to Iran’s nuclear-power-plant complex.

Trump wrote on Truth Social: “This is in retribution for yesterday’s bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!”

    Did we pay them the 300 billion dollars before this happened? Is this a ‘war’ now and not a ‘conflict’? jfc

      No, the 300b was promised but not yet delivered. The US did remove sanctions on Iranian oil though so they will have made a buck on that + whatever “fees” they managed to extract from ships wanting to transit.
