Description

US President Donald Trump called Nato allies "cowards" over the Strait of Hormuz, saying it would be "easy" for them to help open the vital shipping lane which transports around 20% of the world's oil. Meanwhile, the UK has approved the use of its bases for the US to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz. Israel has been hitting Iran's capital, Tehran, with air strikes as Iranians mark Nowruz - the Persian New Year. Overnight, Iran also launched rounds of missiles at Jerusalem, while the Israel Defense Forces said it struck targets in southern Syria.

Bombing 8 year old girls to bury allegations of raping a 13 year old child is filth dragged up from the cesspools of hell.

If it's so easy to open the Strait of Hormuz, why isn't the USA doing it?

Why aren't the media pointing out NATO is a defense pact? Not a war club. This should be part of the discussion.
