2 ships attacked in Strait of Hormuz as Trump grapples with his next move
U.K. navy reports more attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz as Trump says he's poised to make a "big decision" on whether to "annihilate" Iran's leadership.
Two ships were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, resulting in fires that were extinguished by their crews. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility for one of the attacks, accusing the vessel of an illegal crossing. The United States is considering a significant decision regarding Iran, with President Trump expressing uncertainty about whether to annihilate the Iranian regime.
The U.N. Security Council vetoed a resolution to extend sanctions against Iran, leading to the reimposition of these sanctions. Meanwhile, Iran is mobilizing its citizens for a nationwide defensive campaign, with over 600,000 people registering to participate. The Trump administration has also approved visas for Iranian officials to attend the U.N. General Assembly, despite ongoing tensions and no progress towards resolving the conflict.
