#US forces fired on & disabled 2 Iranian #oil tankers on Friday after exchanging fire with #Iran forces in the #StraitOfHormuz overnight. The #UAE, meanwhile, reported another Iranian missile & drone attack.

The attacks cast more doubt on a tenuous month-old “ceasefire” that the US has insisted is still in effect. The #Trump admin is awaiting an Iranian response to its latest proposal for a deal to end the #war, reopen the strait & roll back Iran’s #nuclear program.

The #US #military fired on an Iranian #oil tanker Wednesday as #Trump seeks to pressure #Iran into accepting a deal to end the #war.

A fighter jet shot out the rudder of the tanker in the Gulf of Oman as it tried to breach the US #blockade of Iran’s ports, #CENTCOM posted.

The attack occurred as Iran & the US are supposedly in a ceasefire. Trump threatened Tehran with a new wave of bombing if a deal is not reached that includes opening the critical #StraitOfHormuz.

There is no #ceasefire, stop pretending there is.

#Iran warns #US the fight over #StraitOfHormuz hasn’t ‘begun yet’

#Trump warned Iranian forces would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if they targeted US ships.

Trump made similar threats before—including posting that “a whole civilization will die”—but this time, they were accompanied by military action. Trump posted Monday afternoon that the military “shot down” 7 Iranian boats in the strait.

Insurrectionist Trump has made sure that China is the world leader.

China holds $700 billion of U.S. debt and uses the interest from it to help fund its military. China Refines 99% of samarium-cobalt needed to produce US' Tomahawk missiles & Patriot interceptors. Refines 99.9% of neodymium-iron, needed to produce US' JASSM-ER stealth cruise missiles. China owns the Pedophile Rapist Insurrectionist Felon of the United States.
