So here we go… Yesterday, Iran reportedly attacked ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. responded by carrying out airstrikes against several targets in Iran and reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil sales.
And then, Iran’s armed forces said that they had attacked 85 U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait and shot down an American MQ-9 drone in retaliation.
And now, Trump says the ceasefire with Iran is “over.”

Trump on Greenland: “That’s what hurt my relationship with NATO. Because Greenland doesn’t help Denmark. Denmark doesn’t spend money to really help Greenland, but it’s an important part for the United States. And it’s surrounded by China ships and Russian ships.
