Description

Apparent Iranian attacks have been reported across the Gulf, including in Iraq and Kuwait, while a Dubai high-rise was hit by an apparent drone attack. New Israeli strikes have killed several people in Lebanon, including at least eight in Beirut's seafront area, while Israel is also carrying out "wide-scale" attacks on Iran. Meanwhile, oil prices have risen, reaching $100 a barrel at one point, as three more cargo ships are attacked in the Gulf. This comes despite 32 countries agreeing on Wednesday to release 400m barrels of oil reserves, in an effort to calm the markets.

- Is killing 160+ school girls of 7-12 years age, terrorism or not? - Is killing 90+ unarmed naval trainees 2000 miles away from their country, terrorism or not? - Is destroying 4 hospitals terrorism or not? - Is destroying oil extraction facilities and creating a huge environmental havoc, terrorism or not? I hope UN doesn’t declare the US Department of War as a terrorist organisation.

America's Man of Lawlessness must be enjoying the chaos he caused! Anything to be in the spotlight!

They were lucky the drone hitting the high-rise didn't explode or maybe it was just a message such as "we can hit your skyscrapers as we want, next time it's loaded".
