@justinfreakin: Turkey Brings Out Cannons For Trump Arrival • US strikes on Iran: The US on Tuesday launched new strikes against Iran and reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil sales in retaliation for attacks on commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz. “This is punishment,” a US official told CNN. “It won’t be over for a bit.” • Local impact: Iranian state media reported explosions in the port cities of Bandar Abbas and Sirik, as well as on Qeshm Island. These attacks happened as Iran holds a funeral for the late supreme leader. Last week, Tehran warned the US and Israel not to launch any strikes during the multi-day event. • NATO summit: Security in the Strait of Hormuz was expected to be discussed by US President Donald Trump and other NATO leaders as they gather in Ankara, Turkey. • Turkey jet sales: Earlier Tuesday, in a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Trump said he would soon decide whether to sell F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, despite a congressional ban. #trump #news
