New twist in America-Iran war, Trump said – seized property will compensate for the loss

The military standoff between the US and Iran continued in full force for the 13th day. Let us tell you that Iran opened a new front in Iraq and launched heavy attacks on the American military base in Erbil.

US President Donald Trump has warned that the damage caused to ships due to Iran’s attacks will be compensated by assets seized in Tehran or abroad. He said that he is working on a plan for a major attack on Iran and is not thinking about ceasefire or peace talks. On the other hand, US military attacks on Iran continued.

The ship’s engine room was targeted

US forces attacked a ship named Disha heading towards an Iranian port. There were 30 sailors on board. The engine room of the ship was targeted. After the attack, a distress call was sent from the ship for help. On the other hand, Houthi terror is increasing in the Red Sea. Houthi extremists have said that the Bab al-Mandeb Strait is completely open and the blockade applies only to Saudi Arabia. Despite Houthi statements, shipping companies are taking more precautions.
