Yesterday (4), Iran fired a barrage of drones and missiles after the US launched a major operation to control the Strait of Hormuz.
“Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran’s chief negotiator in the talks with the US, alluded to further attacks earlier today, warning that the Islamic Republic had ‘not even started yet’ in its standoff over the strait.”
JUST IN: IRAN ATTACKS THE UAE AGAIN.
UAE air defenses are RIGHT NOW shooting down Iranian attacks over their airspace.
Iran is violently lashing out because President Trump’s “Project Freedom” in the Strait is depriving them of any remaining leverage they had left!

The Sun reported:
“Today’s barrage of missiles will deepen concern that the pause in fighting has been cast aside altogether by Iran.
The US Navy sank seven Iranian small boats in the Strait of Hormuz as it launched Project Freedom to wrestle control of the waterway from the rogue nation.
The American plan to guide vessels through the strait has already seen several stranded ships escorted to safety.
And Trump yesterday refused to say if the ceasefire agreement still stands. When asked if the pause in fighting was ‘over’, he replied cryptically: ‘Well, I can’t tell you that’.”
