YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The US launched fresh strikes against Iran on Thursday, the fifth straight day of attacks, as hostilities across the Middle East continued to escalate and shipping traffic slumped in the critical Strait of Hormuz. #iran #trump #politics #worldnews #usa #news

The new US attacks began at 2 p.m. ET, according to US Central Command, with US forces aiming to “further degrade Iranian military capabilities” and followed earlier strikes that hit an oil tanker near Iran’s main export terminal.

Iran responded to the earlier bombardment by firing at American bases in Kuwait and Jordan, with the Kuwaiti Armed Forces saying it intercepted 32 Iranian attack drones targeting “vital” institutions in the country, with falling debris causing damage in residential areas.
