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!”
The initial announcement was made to coincide with his big dumb brawl on the front lawn. He wanted to announce a peace plan, and got a Memorandum of Understanding, which is basically an agreement to start talking. I’m not even sure that Iran had agreed to anything at all. The entire thing was destined to fail from the beginning.
But it served its purpose. He got a rationalization to have his big celebration (so he wasn’t just having a big party during a war), and it eased gas prices a little for a minute, but we always knew we’d be back here.
