Explosions in southern Iran

Iran Suggests Blasts Are Not US Attacks as Both Sides Report Ships Hit

Iranian media suggested explosions in southern Iran on Saturday evening were related to Iranian military activities rather than US strikes while both sides reported that shipping had been hit in or near the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's state television said officials had not confirmed any missile strikes on Iranian territory following blasts heard in several areas, including on Qeshm Island in the strait.

President Donald Trump had hinted at renewing major attacks on Iran after last week's US midterm elections ‌but there has been no sign of a large-scale US military operation, which Iran has said it would respond to by striking US and ​Israeli targets.

Both sides have continued strikes on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, however, restricting exports of energy and other commodities vital to the world economy.

Iran's state television said the evening explosions might be related to Iranian military activity in the waterway, where Iran said ⁠two vessels had hit mines and a third had caught fire.

The US said its air force had disabled a vessel in the Gulf of Oman ​beyond the strait.

President Donald Trump and U.S. officials confirmed that American forces conducted "minor" and defensive strikes targeting specific Iranian air defense systems and anti-aircraft devices on Queshm island, rather than destroying or launching a full-scale offensive against the entire territory.

So, according to that bigoted meme you posted over on Facebook, you don't want any Muslims in Florida. What?

You're garbage, Lynn Anderson. Moldy, smelly, ugly garbage.

So, anonymous coward, are you a Muslim or just stalk people and if they don't agree with you then they are moldy and smelly ugly garbage? One sick puppy. Get a doctor.

Stalk? You mean commenting on an open blog? Providing commentary to posts that you write? Really?

I would think that a blogger who has a .gif of someone punching another person in the face and has a cartoon character flipping people off and who displays a "Let's Go Brandon" decal...all in their sidebar for years, would be a little less thin-skinned about insults.

I've always said, you get what you give.

As far as a doctor goes, any doctor who saw the things you post here and on your Facebook account would have you put in some kind of home. You're dangerously delusional and bigoted.

Massie isn’t my states rep so I rarely hear the guy but I’ve listened to Hegseth at Fox News and presently and he sounds like he’s trying to hype us up for battle, very insincere and general but I’m not a patriot nor are you, Patriots go to war and many die or come home not the same, God bless them ,
