Iran now say it attacked American oil tanker in #PersianGulf. Fair to assume this is the ship at anchor that reported attack and oil spill earlier. That would mean Iran decided to not just close Strait of #Hormuz but also sees US-linked ships at anchor in whole Gulf as targets

Iranian news agency reports Israeli/US strikes at #Iran killed 1,045 people. It took five days for death toll to surpass 1000.

Remember, that's roughly equivalent to the number of people killed in #Israel when Palestinian factions broke out of the #Gazastrip on #7Oct 2023. aje.news/uusl7b?updat...

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez told US President Donald Trump that Spain will not be complicit in something that harms the world&contradicts our values&interests, simply out of fear of retaliation.
Sánchez added that Spain has “full confidence in the economic, institutional&moral strength of our country.”
