Hello Great Depression 2.0.
Never let stubborn people become president.
Iran’s Undersea Cable Attack Could Cripple Global Internet and $10 Trillion Daily Flows After Hormuz Blockade
One of the underreported but extremely significant features of the ongoing crisis in the Persian Gulf is the risk to undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz and the nearby Red Sea.
President Trump….hold down on your rhetoric and just show it in action.
Iranian will definitely get the message quicker.
Iran attacked and caused significant damage to three U.S. destroyers today near the Straight of Hormuz. Trump is already lying and denying this happened.
I endorse such an Iranian action…!!
BBC = Israel mouthpiece.
Oh gid, more Israeli propaganda news.
Why cant we have our own nest stations?
Why are they all under rhe control of Zionists?
Here we go again….oil price manipulation 🎉🎉🎉
BBC , the UK government's state sponsored propaganda network ! You must have the IQ of a rock to believe anything they say
LISTEN!
Masks cause horrendous pollution that hurts our environment very much. Google: Disposable face masks used during Covid have left chemical timebomb.
Sailing ships through the Strait isn't a cease fire violation.
TRUMP IS THE LOSER 👎👎👎
Warmonger
Iran is going to run our Navy out of oil.
Iran shot missiles and drones at US destroyers. Destroyers shot them down and launched missiles at Iranian ports.
The BBC……and that's all anyone needs to say lol They are the direct mirror of our CNN.
When the media say ceasefire it means Surrender. When normal people say ceasefire, they call them hate marchers
BBC a genocide denier? What happened to GB
Well done Iran
I hope you all voted for a party that dont support Zionism
It's getting hot again. Do they really want to end the war which is ruining the world economy
Good coverage BBC
ALL just theatre for the dumb masses 😂
oh bbc. politically incorrect and propaganda clickbait thumbnail. it says iran attacked, then says it was probably the US that attacked……poor journalism, we've got precious few media outlets to even slightly trust. no wonder people think youre state media.
Finally a feel-good FAFO story we can all smile about!
Iran announced early on May 8 that it had retaliated after the United States violated the ceasefire by targeting two ships at the Strait of Hormuz and attacking civilian areas.
The U..S. targeted “an Iranian oil tanker traveling from Iran’s coastal waters near Jask toward the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another vessel entering the Strait of Hormuz near the Emirati port of Fujairah,” a spokesperson for the Islamic Republic Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said in a statement carried by state media.
“At the same time, with the cooperation of some regional countries, they carried out air attacks on civilian areas along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island,” he added.
Later, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy said that it had attacked several warships of the U.S. Navy in what it described as a “very large-scale and precise combined operation.”
Various types of anti-ship ballistic and cruise missiles, along with kamikaze drones equipped with high-explosive warheads, were used in the operation, according to the guards.
“Intelligence monitoring indicates significant damage to the American enemy, and three invading enemy warships quickly fled the Strait of Hormuz area,” the IRGC Navy said in a statement.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) acknowledged the attack, saying in a statement that it responded with “self-defense strikes”.
Oh christ!!.. If the BBC says it… it must be true -.-
Whats ongoing and, rather unusual behaviour by the US is the total lack of video. The US as we all know love to brag about there wins, so why no videos ?
On May 7, 2026, the U.S. military conducted airstrikes targeting Iranian infrastructure in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, specifically near the port city of Bandar Abbas and Qeshm Island. U.S. asserting these were targeted, "self-defense" strikes against Iranian naval assets responsible for attacking U.S. vessels
Never underestimate negotiating with the US. It is for sure a disaster!
The cowardly, impotent brits and western europeans would wait until the rabid Iranians have nuclear weapons and then try to appease them. It is their nature.
I’m an American 🇺🇸 citizen from the great state of Alabama. I don’t care how high oil gets as long as we win this war and Iran don’t get a nuclear bomb.
Does this mean that the Dumbkoff in Chief will have to revise his lie to Congress?
😊 Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early in life. I was 45 when I finally took the time to educate myself and start making real changes. At that point, I was $97,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement. Fast forward just two years-I'm now completely debt-free with a net worth a of over $3M.That may not sound like a huge number to some, but to me, it's something l'm incredibly proud of. I'm currently fast-tracking my wealth-building journey, already investing $550,000 and owing absolutely nothing to anyone. Since I joined this channel three year ago, my mindset and financial habits have transformed. It's a good feeling. May God continue to bless you.
Really? You get your news from Iranian State TV? Well, I supposed they are every bit as biased and crazy as the BBC.
Trump–>The Most corrupt "Unprecedented President" 😂
The HMS Dragon would be under the sea if it was one of the destroyers..
While you are all here quick public announcement. Everybody look up honduras gate 2026 learn about it. Then ask yourselves "why isn't this all over the media in the US"
Well at least the child rapist mass murderer got trillions of dollars for his stupid Board of peace yeah…..😮
