What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Donald Trump accused Iran of fabricating reports of attacks and mines in the Strait of Hormuz to drive up oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. Trump also claimed Iranian authorities were responsible for the deaths of 75,000 protesters. Separately, the IDF Chief of the General Staff, Eyal Zamir, approved a plan to impose a full closure on Hebron and surrounding villages. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Navy had warned that the conflict could expand if the United States continued allowing ships through what it called an "illegally mined route".
