This is the third consecutive night of U.S. strikes against Iran, hitting air-defense systems, radar sites, and missile capabilities \u2014 and marking the first combat use of American sea drones, with three unmanned vessels striking a naval base at Bandar Abbas.<br \/>\nThe 20% toll proposal is a major reversal: Secretary of State Marco Rubio had previously called tolling the strait a violation of international law, and the UN&#8217;s International Maritime Organization says there&#8217;s no legal basis for it. Iran&#8217;s Foreign Minister mockingly agreed with Trump&#8217;s reasoning while insisting Iran is the strait&#8217;s rightful guardian.<br \/>\nThe situation turned deadly Monday night when Iranian cruise missiles hit two UAE oil tankers, killing one person and wounding eight. Iran also struck U.S.-linked targets across Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, and Oman.<br \/>\nThis effectively ends the last surviving piece of the U.S.-Iran peace deal signed just 26 days ago at the Palace of Versailles. Traffic through the strait has collapsed to about 14 ships a day, down from roughly 130 before the war.<br \/>\n\u2693 In this video:<\/p>\n<p>What the new blockade actually does<br \/>\nTrump&#8217;s controversial 20% toll plan explained<br \/>\nThe overnight strikes and first-ever US sea drone combat use<br \/>\nWhat this means for oil prices and global shipping<\/p>\n<p>#StraitOfHormuz #Iran #Trump #Blockade #OilPrices #BreakingNews<\/p>\n<p>Want to create live streams like this?
