US embassies in Israel, Qatar and Jordan have issued security warnings as US forces launched strikes against Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz.

US citizens were urged to prepare for possible airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruption. US President Donald Trump said the strikes were in response to an alleged Iranian attempt to deploy sea mines and a missile attack on a US base in Jordan.

Warning sirens also sounded in Bahrain after Iran threatened Bahrain and Kuwait. Iranian officials later warned that it would “no longer exercise restraint” towards the two Gulf states.

  1. The US imperialists are not having a fun time of in Iran. Its not some little easily bought off banana republic, like, for example, New Zealand or its bitch down under, Australia. Want your sovereignty back, don’t vote for globalists.

  2. The media remain puppet-propagandists for the Americans who continue to justify perpetrating their genocidal crimes against humanity, then lying afterwards pretending they don’t target civilians. These lies come from Vance who is touted as their next president. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/vance–iran-war–not-a-war—avoids-responsibility-for-weddi

    But the Americans cannot hide their genocidal war crimes for ever as the evidence keeps coming out https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-munition–not-ricochet–likely-struck-iranian-wedding–ex
