U.S. Launches Strikes to ‘Punish’ Iran After Troops Killed

Marco Rubio on Iran:

I do think the world is coming to a point now where it’s clear that Iran—at least some people in Iran—want to control the straits and hold it as leverage against the world. And the world has to decide whether or not it’s going to allow an international waterway to be under the control of a country like this. It would be completely illegal, unlawful, and unacceptable. The United States will continue to do what it needs to protect global shipping, but other countries need to begin to step up and provide, whether it’s hardware or finances, to help carry that burden.

Iran: Hey, We’ve Got Moses, Jesus, David and Solomon on Our Side

Robert Spencer 

Sophronius, Jerusalem Patr. 634: “Invading (Muslims) are Godless wild barbarians, filled with diabolical savagery.. they ravage all with feral design.. inflict destruction and plunder.. incessant outpouring of human blood.. Birds devour human bodies.. churches pulled down.. ” :

Al Bozo has released the new ‘Islamophobia Report’

“Some of [the recommendations] we have adopted in full and are acting on already. Others we’ll give further consideration to.”

What a disgrace!

Anthony Albanese (centre) has announced the government’s response to the special envoy to combat Islamophobia’s report.

 ISIS related Islamic Terrorists shot 50 people, killing 15, so Labor imported ISIS Terrorist Brides & brought in laws so you can’t offend Muslims.

Yep, Australia is cooked.

Azza Mahmoud Fawzi Hosseini Ali el Serougi  “Anne Aly” came from Egypt to settle behind enemy lines in Australia. Does anyone know why and how?

Since she’s on the taxpayer funded “Islamophobia” racket, she pretends to be some kind of victim. She isn’t a victim of anything. Those who support her false claims are the enemy of Australia.

US military says new strikes targeting Iran’s ‘military capabilities’

FAKE NEWS DEBUNKED

Ayatollah Alireza Arafi, Iran’s second-highest leader behind the brutal anti-women laws and the killing of thousands for not wearing hijab, was NOT taken out in overnight US-Israel strikes on Tehran.

Iranian officials have said the Strait of Hormuz is “a red line” since the beginning of the US-Israel war on the country. Brigadier-General Ebrahim Zolfaghari’s statement today is a reiteration of that.

Iranians are not talking about temporary control over Hormuz, but rather their message to the world is Iran aims to have permanent control and sovereignty over the strategic waterway. And that is the main source of tension between Tehran and Washington.

  • Iran’s top negotiator and parliamentary Speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf says the country has “never welcomed war, nor do we now”, adding that “we must always be prepared for battle and stand firm to protect our national security and interests”.

Iran has been accused of orchestrating seven attacks on British soil targeting Jewish and Israeli communities. Tehran has condemned the move as “hostile”.

Trump Wants Syria to ‘Fight Hezbollah’ in Lebanon

That’s not working. That’s not the way to do it.
 
Both Israel and Lebanon are appalled. Trump sees Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa as a “strong leader,” someone who can take on Hezbollah and deal better with it than Israel. That is not how either Beirut or Jerusalem sees things.

President Trump is delivering on his promise of peace through strength, ordering decisive U.S. military strikes on Iranian targets after the regime violated a fragile ceasefire by attacking commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

A ceasefire and MoU brought temporary calm, focusing on reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important energy shipping routes.

Yet Iran quickly tested limits by harassing tankers, imposing illegal routing demands, and attacking commercial vessels.

U.S. Central Command responded with strikes against more than 80 targets, including air defenses, command centers, coastal radars, anti-ship missiles, and IRGC fast boats.

Sources familiar with the intelligence said the warning was delivered this week and involved information that U.S. agencies had not previously identified independently. Details of the alleged plot have not been publicly disclosed.

Wall Street Journal reported:

Israel shared new intelligence with the U.S. that it said indicated a fresh Iranian plan to kill President Trump, people familiar with the matter said, a finding that would mark an escalation in the war between Washington and Iran.

US Military Releases Footage of Powerful Strikes Against Iran (VIDEO)

US President Donald Trump has once again turned his focus to Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export hub, after declaring an interim ceasefire with Iran “over” and warning the US was preparing more strikes.

Trump told the Financial Times that his “preference would be to take the oil” in Iran and that US forces could seize Iran’s export hub at Kharg Island.

Kharg is a 22-square-kilometre (8.5-square-mile) coral outcrop in Iran’s Bushehr province. Closely guarded by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), entry to the island is restricted to those with official security clearance.

Kharg processes 90 percent of Iran’s total oil exports, handling approximately 1.5 million barrels every day.

On March 14, Trump announced that the US Air Force had bombed Iranian military facilities on the island.

“For reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
