The #US airstrikes hit #bridges overnight into Friday in Iran’s southern Hormozgan province, killing at least 7 people, #Iran state TV reported. The attacks hit Bandar Khamir, a city on Iran’s coast on the #StraitOfHormuz.

The #highway & #railway bridge strikes appeared aimed at cutting off Bandar Abbas, Iran’s main port, from roads leading to Tehran.

The interim ceasefire agreed to last month has collapsed [media is finally saying it], & the region has endured days of back-&-forth attacks by the #US & #Iran as they battle for control of the #StraitOfHormuz. Iranian officials say US strikes have killed dozens of people & wounded hundreds of others, with new casualties reported in Friday’s strikes.

#Trump’s threat that the #US could charge #fees on ships transiting through the #StraitOfHormuz breaks with his own admin’s stance. Last month, Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said, “It’s an #InternationalWaterway,” referring to the strait. “No country is allowed to charge #tolls or fees on an international waterway. That’s existing #InternationalLaw.”

#Israel Investigating After Photo of Stripped & Bound #Palestinian Detainee Is Shared

The Israeli military confirmed the authenticity of the photo, which circulated widely after it was first posted by an Israeli soldier & then shared by a Palestinian activist. Israeli rights groups said it depicted a #WarCrime.

Still, many details about the blast remain elusive, as a lack of information from the #Pentagon & politicization of the attack by Iran’s theocracy have complicated independent reporting efforts. That has created an #accountability vacuum, leaving the families of the victims without resolution. Among the mysteries remaining are the number of munitions that hit the school & a complete list of the dead.

The AP has reconstructed the story of the attack, beginning in the schoolyard on the morning of Feb. 28, drawing from open-source information, video footage, human rights reports & interviews with researchers & civilians inside & outside #Iran to reveal previously unreported details about the bombing in #Minab, including the diversity of #children killed.

The #Trump admin has yet to directly accept the blame or formally release findings of a #Pentagon investigation into the bombing, even though the #military possessed #evidence almost immediately that the site of the #school had been struck, a #US official with knowledge of the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss an ongoing investigation, told AP.

It was the deadliest reported strike in the #US - #Israel #war against #Iran. Most of the victims were #children.

In almost any other conflict, these haunting truths would be seared into national memory. Yet more than 120 days since at least one US missile struck an Iranian primary #school, there remains no final accounting of what happened.

#US strikes #Iran to respond to attack on ship that #Trump says violated ceasefire [he would have found some excuse regardless]

#CENTCOM said the military struck missile & drone locations & coastal radar sites.

The strikes came shortly after Trump told reporters, “You’ll find out,” whether the US would response to the drone attack.

#Trump, in response, threatened to impose #US tolls in the crucial waterway if a final deal with #Iran isn’t reached in 60 days, saying the money would be for “services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East.”

#IdiotInChief #Trump threatens to charge #US tolls in #StraitOfHormuz if final #Iran deal not reached in 60 days

Iran on Saturday said that it closed the Strait of Hormuz because of #Israel attacks in #Lebanon & warned that while negotiators were going to Switzerland for talks with the US on their interim agreement, not much likely will happen if the fighting doesn’t stop.

“If any part of these understandings, any part of these commitments, is not implemented, then the memorandum of understanding as a whole will be jeopardized,” Bagahei said.

Ships had begun transiting the strait after the interim #US – #Iran agreement was signed earlier in the week.

As of now the #StraitOfHormuz is once again closed.

#Iran Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Bagahei signaled that little might happen until Iran feels the #US is living up to the deal.

“This trip is therefore about demanding that the other side fulfill its obligations,” he said, adding that negotiations toward a final agreement will begin only once key commitments, including an end to fighting in #Lebanon, are upheld.

A number of their members were drawn ‌from Islamic Resistance in Iraq [#IRI], an umbrella group of hardline Shi'ite factions with thousands of fighters. But the new groups operate outside its command structure, reporting directly to the #IRGC, acc/to the sources, who include 2 Iraqi military officials, another security official & 5 local militia commanders.

3 or 4 cells, each comprising about 10 elite Iraqi Shi'ite Muslim fighters, launched at least ​7 drone attacks from desert locations near the southern cities of Basra & Samawa against sites in #Kuwait, #SaudiArabia & the #UAE between April 20 & May 17, three of the sources said.

“Do you know, we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil?” #Trump said. “Nobody knows it. You know who doesn’t know about it? Iran. Until right now. We took out the other night, 22 ships late at night with no lights, because they don’t have any radar, because we blasted the crap out of it.”

Trump claimed that US forces have been removing millions of barrels of #oil on a nightly basis, & he had previously “wanted to say it so badly.”

Jackass.
