The war between Israel and Iran has raised concerns that Iran could retaliate by trying to close the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important oil chokepoint due to the large volumes of crude that pass through it every day. The U.S. military’s strike on three sites in Iran over the weekend has raised questions about how its military might respond. The Strait of Hormuz is between Oman and Iran, which boasts a fleet of fast-attack boats and thousands of naval mines as well as missiles that it could use to make the strait impassable, at least for a time. Iran’s main naval base at Bandar Abbas is on the north coast of the strait. It could also fire missiles from its long Persian Gulf shore, as its allies, Yemen’s Houthi rebels, have done in the Red Sea.

President Donald Trump has posted on social media again, this time to address the Iranian strikes on a US base in Qatar. He described it as a “very weak response”, which the US “expected” and “very effectively countered”. “There have been 14 missiles fired – 13 were knocked down, and 1 was ‘set free,’ because it was headed in a nonthreatening direction,” he added. “I am pleased to report that NO Americans were harmed, and hardly any damage was done.” He added: “Most importantly, they’ve gotten it all out of their ‘system,’ and there will, hopefully, be no further HATE. “I want to thank Iran for giving us early notice, which made it possible for no lives to be lost, and nobody to be injured.

The IDF is preparing to ask the Supreme Court for another postponement in submitting its official response to a petition concerning the Draft Law, according to a report from Galei Tzahal. The reason for the delay request is the current military campaign involving Iran, which is occupying the attention of the army’s top brass.
The military’s original deadline to respond was set for Tuesday. However, with the ongoing regional hostilities demanding the full attention of senior defense officials, the IDF is expected to seek an extension.
