Trump Iran Strait of Hormuz Fox News
yazan Jolyon: Donald Trump
Sirens across Kuwait went off overnight as Iran launched a fresh wave of missiles and drones, an act the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry labeled a flagrant violation of sovereignty. This incident arrives after days of reciprocal strikes between the U.S. and Iran while tensions regarding the Strait of Hormuz climb higher. President Trump indicated on Wednesday that the U.S. is prepared to strike Iran again if necessary, though he expressed belief that any military campaign would be brief. U.S. forces have destroyed defensive and offensive equipment, ships, and radar systems along the Strait of Hormuz, effectively degrading Iran's ability to threaten the waterway. While the U.S. escorts 40 commercial vessels moving 18 million barrels of oil through the strait, economic pressure mounts inside Iran as the Iranian Riyal loses value. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant advised allies and adversaries not to engage with the Iranian regime. A speaker opposes both sanctions and war due to negative impacts on lives and inflation, favoring negotiations instead. Defense officials in Israel warn of a potential Iranian attack during the Jewish High Holidays.

OVERNIGHT, IRAN LAUNCHING YET ANOTHER ATTACK IN THE GULF, TARGETING KUWAIT WITH MISSILES AND DRONES. SIRENS SOUNDED THERE FORCING CIVILIANS TO TAKE SHELTER AND PROMPTING THE KUWAITI FOREIGN MINISTRY TO CALL THIS ATTACK A FLAGRANT VIOLATION OF THE COUNTRY'S SOVEREIGNTY. THE EVENT CAME AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP INDICATED ON WEDNESDAY THE UNITED STATES IS PREPARED TO STRIKE IRAN AGAIN WHEN NEEDED. WE TOOK OUT ALL OF THE NEW EQUIPMENT THAT THEY TRIED TO BUILD ALONG THE STRAIGHT OF of Hormuz, some defensive, some offensive. We're taking out a lot of ships. They can't see it because they have no radar because we blew it up. And we blew up much more than their radar last night. It was a very heavy attack last night. And we're prepared to do another one anytime we want. Reports indicate the United States is ramping up efforts to export oil through the Strait of Hormuz, getting 18 million barrels out of the Persian Gulf while escorting 40 commercial vessels on Tuesday. The critical waterway remains a source of regional tension as officials believe the recent U.S. strikes further degraded Iran's ability to threaten the strait. Inside of Iran, economic pressure is mounting. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant told Fox News we're telling friends and foes do not deal with this evil regime. The Iranian Riyal continues to deteriorate in value as the Iranian people are starting to feel the strain. I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF SANCTIONS, BUT I'M NOT IN FAVOR OF WAR EITHER, BECAUSE BOTH HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR LIVES AND DRIVE INFLATION HIGHER. THE ONLY WAY THE SITUATION CAN IMPROVE IS THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, ALTHOUGH THEY DON'T SEEM TO SUPPORT NEGOTIATIONS EITHER. HERE IN ISRAEL, DEFENSE OFFICIALS ARE WARNING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF AN IRANIAN ATTACK DURING THE JEWISH HIGH HOLIDAYS LATER THIS MONTH.
