THE WAR IS OVER?: In the last 24 hours, the U.S. military fired a Hellfire missile into the engine room of an empty oil tanker to stop it from reaching Iran’s main oil terminal on Kharg Island. In a release, U.S. Central Command said, “the ship’s crew ignored repeated warnings, failing to comply with directions from U.S. forces multiple times.”
In response, Iran launched a series of drone and missile attacks, targeting the headquarters of the U.S Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and Kuwait’s main civilian airport. The U.S. claimed all of the attacks “were successfully defeated” and that “all failed to hit their intended targets.”
