As we reported, the U.S. responded after the Iranian regime attacked a cargo ship exiting the Strait of Hormuz, hitting some of the regime's coastal installations.
Then Iran responded by attacking U.S. bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. The regime claimed they destroyed eight important military facilities. In fact, there were no US casualties or damage to US bases after the barrage of missiles and drones. They did hit a residential building in Bahrain. Fortunately, no one was killed. Kuwait said it intercepted two ballistic missiles, and there was no damage or injuries.
The regime also fired on another commercial ship in the Strait.
The U.S. then replied with more extensive strikes against the Iranian regime, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
As we reported, Iran insanely blamed the U.S., claiming it violated the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), despite Iran being the one who fired on ships and residential areas.

President Donald Trump then dropped a warning to the regime.
“United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage location, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” President Trump posted on Truth Social after ordering the attack.
“It is very possible that they will never learn!” he wrote.
“There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”
“To achieve the peace and calm that Iran needs, it must absolutely reach nuclear deterrence to ensure that the rest of the issues can be resolved through negotiation,” thundered the piece, before comparing Iran’s situation with the US to that of China in the 1970s. [....]
“America threatened China with nuclear attack twice — similar to Trump’s recent nuclear threats against Iran — but when did Kissinger secretly meet with the Chinese and then negotiate? It was when China built the atomic bomb,” the article continues.
This, despite agreeing in the MOU not to ever develop a nuclear weapon and to let International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors in to inspect things.
While this may be state media bluster, this is obviously another concerning factor, particularly given Iran's problematic performance when it comes to deals.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei also accused their Gulf neighbors of “engaging in aggression against their Muslim neighbor,” and “remaining silent regarding the Israeli nuclear arsenal,” in his statement. Meanwhile, Iran is the one attacking their neighbors.
Editor's Note: For decades, former presidents have been all talk and no action. Now, Donald Trump is eliminating the threat from Iran once and for all.
