Iran targets British-U.S. base and its main nuclear enrichment site is struck again

The U.S. and Israel have offered shifting rationales for the war, from hoping to foment an uprising that topples Iran’s leadership to eliminating its nuclear and missile programs and its support for armed proxies. The Natanz facility was also hit in the first week of the war and in the 12-day war last June. As Iran threatens shipping on the Strait of Hormuz, the United Arab Emirates joined 21 other countries including the UK, Germany, France and Japan in expressing "readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage.”
