Iran accused the United States of violating a ​ceasefire by targeting two ships ‌at the Strait of Hormuz and attacking civilian areas, the country's ​top joint military command ​said early on Friday.

The U.S. ⁠targeted "an Iranian oil tanker ​traveling from Iran's coastal waters ​near Jask toward the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another vessel ​entering the Strait of ​Hormuz near the Emirati port of Fujairah," ‌a ⁠spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in a statement carried by state ​media.

"At the ​same ⁠time, with the cooperation of some regional ​countries, they carried out ​air ⁠attacks on civilian areas along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, ⁠Sirik, ​and Qeshm Island."

The UN (not that those hypocrites really matter) Have not had a lot to say about the Middle East situation.

Of course they ask for the protection of civilians whilst ignoring Iran’s intentional bombing of the civilian targets as well as closing down international waters.

IF the muzzie run UN commented, they might have to acknowledge that the IRGC massacred tens of thousands of Iranians and they won’t touch that issue with a ten foot pole.

I said from the being of this serious excursion into Iran that the issue was much bigger than Iran. Trump was taking on all of Islam with Iran, which is a wicked Devil inspired ideology that has been the scourge and ban for mankind and this planet since its invention by the Devil through his messenger Muhammed who gave the world the Quran. Trump is the greatest deal maker of all time, but he has met his match when dealing with the Devil’s henchmen. The one thing that the free world must urgently do to remain free from the demonic influence of this force, is to ban it as incompatible with freedom.

Then why are all the Arab states on Trump’s side? If anything, they want him to do more against the Iranians.

You don't actually have to take out the power plants themselves (it would take too long to rebuild them once the regime collapses). Just take out the transformers and short out the transmission lines.

You are correct. I wish the Iranian people to not suffer do to their insane theological dictators and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. I want those dead dead dead.

None of the Islamic states are to be trusted any further than the present moment. They are all a bunch of thieves jockeying for position against each other. Their core allegiance will always be Islam and none of them can be trusted as allies of Christians and Jews. History has proven that contrary to what is publicly preached that Islam is an ideology of peace, it is the exact opposite. For the moment, the alliance with the U.S. is only one of convenience.
