Trump's post on Strait of Hormuz, Israel's death penalty bill

Al Jazeera Podcasts

Several GCC states have faced another day of missile and drone attacks from Iran.

Five explosions have been heard in Dubai.

That's after a fire broke out in Dubai's port, where Kuwait's state-owned oil company

said a Kuwait flagged oil tanker was hit.

No one was injured by rain, Saudi Arabian Qatar, all reported intercepting attacks overnight.

The state of Hamuz is becoming the defining factor of this war.

Now, the US President Donald Trump has just posted to social media about the straight

of Hamuz.

On truth, he says, all of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the

straight of Hamuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation

of Iran, I have a suggestion for you.

Number one, buy from the US.

Do you have plenty?

And number two, build up some delayed courage, go to the straight and just take it.

You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself.

The USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us.

Iran has been essentially decimated.

The hard part is done.

Go get your own oil.

Now, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told US media that military operations

in Iran are beyond the halfway point, but refused to give a clear time now.

There have been more missile interceptions over Central Israel.

Smoke has been rising over the Tel Aviv region.

After reports of several impacts, at least nine people have been wounded.

Now, explanations have been seen in Tehran and the Western CG of Isfahan as the US and

Israel carry out strikes.

President Donald Trump posted online footage of strikes on Isfahan, the US media report,

that a weapons depot was hit there.

Now, Israel has passed legislation that now imposes the death penalty as the default

punishment for Palestinians convicted of killing Israelis.

The bill passed with 62 votes in favor.

The man behind the bill is a far-right national security minister at the Mar-Bengevier,

who was seen celebrating after the vote with the bottle of champagne inside the chamber.

It's prompted criticisms from the foreign ministers of Germany, Netherlands, France, Italy,

and the UK.

While the law comes into effect in 30 days, the legislation could still be struck down

by the Supreme Court.
