This woman is an Iran propagandist.
does israel allow inspection of it's nuclear sites?
90% of thousands of missiles still leaves you with plenty left!
Don't worry though, according to your top secret classified access and math skills, the US is out of ammunitions and Iran is in full control
Good
We have OBLIVITRATED Iran's military says Trump. Then how the hell is Iran fighting back?? This is a messy war for US.
The environmental consequences are never discussed in this war.
BBC and UK supporting trump in his war. Trump murdered school girl, people at a wedding and no sanction from EU or UK on trump and USA
Iran has Russian and Chinese help and still couldn't hit our ships.
I’m surprised any insurance company would insure any ships sailing (or lives of sailors) anywhere close to the straight. When I hear ships are ‘daring’ to cross the straight even sail close I’m thinking whether the ship owners are crazy, onboard merchandise owners are crazy, the insurance company directors are crazy or the sailors are crazy.
Look out they know that the winter is on the way it's so blatant it's to increase fuel prices after stock piling over the summer 🙈
Trump US destroying all world , including US except dictator’s.
Soon ships full of oil will sink and destroy Gulf waters making them impossible to shipping.
Lairs

Noticeable that iran target military installations while the US target civillian ships
our bloody history no wonder the worse country for the paranormal is Scotland next England no wonder they haunt !
The UNITED STATES should ask CHINA to send fifty-million of their soldiers West all the way to the Mediterranean Sea secure entire Middle East for the next ~ 70 years, just as the Romans did around ~ 2,000 years ago, as the British were in Hong Kong CHINA, maybe a 156 years?
sorry BBC but thats false news reporting. Most were not shot down. By the fourth wave no interceptors were launched so FAKE NEWS just like building seven.
A normal govt would have surrendered already but IRGC is not a normal govt. Just sending missiles randomly does not mean they still have any capacity to fight
Viva Iran 🇮🇷 you shouldn’t mess with Iran in the first place. Now the show must go on.
The genius 🤡 strikes again
Wish I die don’t want to live my Allah I want to die please 🙏
@BibiC is disappointed that the english dictator king of jordan was sent to a bunker as the jordanians celebrated the targeting of US bases….
Thou shalt not kill 😢
This war is to distract from the Epstein files.
There was not any problem with HORMUZ, before the criminal gangsters ISRAEL and USA started an illegal war against all free Countries in Middle East and elsewhere.
Solar panels on my roof, EV’s in my garage, for years now. Wasn’t that difficult to figure out.
trunp said manny times Iran is disabled. 😅 more lies and fake news from sleepy trump 😅
War is bad for business but great business.
I know it's not a stupid assumption. But maybe it would be best if Iran gets the bomb like north Korea.
Might be the only way Israel and the USA backs down. By the way both have the bomb and at least one of them comet's genocide.
Another Trump failure
Trump sold his soul to Tel Aviv. Now he can't buy it back.
Great idea blow up tankers while the world burns and energy prices soar. Love the fact Donald goes missing when it's a bad news day. Is it just me or is the BBC just a bunch of stirrers?
More war? What a suprise.
Iran is of course completely right in not allowing inspectors in. There is a high likelihood those inspection will be used to gather information for a potential US ground operation to steal nuclear material. Besides that, there is no point in inspections, even while Iran fully complied and even US secret services said there was no evidence Iran was developing a nuclear weapon the US and Israel accused them of doing so and attacked them anyway.
I belive japan and iran will develop nuke really soon
Like really soon
