US-Iran War LIVE: After 80+ US attacks, Iran claims missile-drone attack on 85 US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Iran also talked about shooting down the MQ-9 drone, which further increased the tension.
US Iran War: The biggest and most terrifying news of this time is coming out from the Middle East, which has brought the whole world to the threshold of the Third World War. The smoldering spark between America and Iran has now turned into a destructive and dangerous military confrontation. On the orders of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), the US Air Force and Navy started a massive bombardment of more than 80 military targets inside Iran simultaneously in the early hours of Tuesday. American ammunition raining from the sky destroyed Iran’s air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites and anti-ship missile networks in a moment. Not only this, the US Army has also targeted more than 60 combat boats of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), so that its backbone can be broken on the sea route. Videos and reports of explosions coming from Iran’s Bandar Abbas, Sirik Port, Qeshm Island and Kharg Island are shocking.

American action on more than 80 targets, was this the reason for the counterattack?
According to the US Central Command (CENTCOM), the military operation was launched on Tuesday. The US says this action was taken in response to alleged attacks on three commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. According to CENTCOM, more than 80 Iranian military bases were targeted in this campaign. These included air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar stations, anti-ship missile systems, and numerous naval capabilities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The US military claims that the attacks were aimed at ensuring the safety of commercial ships in the area.

‘Islamabad Agreement’ down to the wire: The secret of the Strait of Hormuz, which provoked war
After all, how did this great war start suddenly? There is a deep and old diplomatic suspense hidden behind this. According to David Des Roches, a former Pentagon official and professor at Thayer Marshall Institute, this bloody game started when Iran openly violated Article 5 of the ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’ (MoU). Under this agreement, America was to give exemption on the sale of Iranian oil (Article 4), while Iran was to provide security to civilian ships passing through very important sea routes like the Strait of Hormuz. But it is alleged that Iran allegedly attacked three commercial ships passing through this route. The US considered this a direct attack on its sovereignty and global trade and instead of imposing a complete naval blockade, it launched a devastating retaliatory attack directly on Iran’s military infrastructure.

Sirens echo from Bahrain to Kuwait… Iran’s ‘Operation 85’ and attack on American Fifth Fleet
Enraged by this horrific attack by America, Iran’s Khatam-al-Anbia Central Headquarters termed it an “open aggressive step” and warned of consequences. Just a few hours later, the IRGC’s naval and aerospace forces did something that perhaps even Washington had not imagined. Iran launched a massive and combined missile and drone operation targeting US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait. Tehran claims that it has fired missiles at a total of 85 American targets, including the headquarters of the US Navy’s most powerful ‘Fifth Fleet’ located in Bahrain and ‘Ali al-Salem Air Base’ in Kuwait. After this fierce counter-attack, war sirens have echoed throughout Bahrain and Kuwait and the American soldiers present there have been forced to hide in bunkers.
American pride shattered in the sky: ‘MQ-9’ Reaper drone fell on Bushehr land
The suspense and tension in this war reached its peak when Iran’s prestigious Tasnim news agency made a big claim. Issuing an official statement, IRGC spokesperson Hussein Mohabi said that America’s most modern and very expensive reconnaissance drone ‘MQ-9 Reaper’ hovering in the sky of Khormuz in Bushehr province has been intercepted and shot down in the air by the Iranian air defense system. The debris of an American drone falling on the Iranian border has created a stir in the American intelligence system.
That secret timing of the funeral: Had America really hatched some deep conspiracy?
Iran has made a very shocking and serious allegation behind this entire cruel chronology. This horrific American attack happened at the same time when the funeral rituals of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were going on and the entire country was in mourning. IRGC’s direct allegation is that Washington deliberately chose this timing so that the world’s attention could be diverted from this historic funeral and Iran would not get a chance to recover. At present, Iran has made it clear that it will not tolerate any external interference in the Strait of Hormuz and the safe path for oil tankers will be the one that Iran decides. Stock markets and crude oil prices around the world are currently skyrocketing, because this all-out war between the two nuclear powers can now take the form of a global catastrophe.
