The US military carried out a third consecutive night of strikes against Iran on Monday after President Trump said the United States was reinstating a blockade against Iranian ports in the strategic waterway and imposing a 20 percent transit fee.
Soon after, the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense said Iranian cruise missiles struck two Emirati oil tankers, the Mombasa and Al Bahiyah, while they were transiting the southern lane of the strait in Omani territorial waters, killing one crew member and injuring eight others.
Over the weekend, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had targeted US military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait, destroyed radar systems in Oman, struck ammunition depots at Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, and destroyed a command facility in Qatar.
On Sunday, the United Arab Emirates said its air defense systems had intercepted incoming Iranian missiles and drones.
