Trump: "The US is carrying out small strikes in Iran; we control the Strait of Hormuz"

US President Trump said the US is carrying out small strikes in Iran and controls the Strait of Hormuz. Reports of explosions in Riyadh, the execution of three protesters in Iran, and documents reveal a broader Russian role in the war in Iran.

US President Donald Trump said that the US is carrying out small strikes in Iran and that it controls the Strait of Hormuz. These remarks came after reports of explosions in southern Iran. Meanwhile, reports from Saudi Arabia indicate explosions heard in the capital Riyadh, after early warnings were activated. It was also reported that Iran executed three protesters accused of collaborating with Israel. Internal defense industry documents, published by the Ukrainian research group "Dallas Analytics", reveal that Russia played a larger role in the war in Iran than previously disclosed, including a contract for 90 precision-guided missile launchers destined for Tehran. Additionally, Iran's Revolutionary Guards announced the removal of the self-imposed restriction on the range of their ballistic missiles, which stood at 2,000 kilometers. In Paraguay, an indictment was filed against former President Santiago Peña for alleged involvement in a banking scandal.
