Despite these actions, Iran continues to engage in hostilities, launching missile attacks at Kuwaiti infrastructure and attacking ships in the region. Additionally, Iran claims to have attacked multiple vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, with some vessels abandoned or damaged.

“Commercial vessel transits through the vital international maritime corridor continue. Since early May, CENTCOM forces have helped facilitate the transit of approximately 900 commercial vessels and 450 million barrels of crude oil,” the post said.
“American forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable for unwarranted aggression toward civilian mariners seeking to freely and openly transit the strait,” the post continued.
On Monday, President Donald Trump took a tough tone with Iran after three U.S. service members were killed.
“Every time Iran kills an American Soldier they will pay for that killing many times over!” Trump posted on .
“This directive has been passed on to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Daniel Caine, and every Leader in the Military,” he wrote.
Despite the attacks, Iran lobbed missiles at Kuwait for the fourth straight day, hitting power plants and desalination plants, according to The Times of Israel.
It’s honestly confusing.
Iran was set up to have about $100 billion in assets unfrozen. In addition, they were going to get $300 billion in investments from their Arab neighbors.
All they had to do was stop acting like assholes for 5 minutes.
They literally couldn’t do it.…
