Iran has continued its attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, with 12 commercial vessels targeted since the beginning of October.
What happened
According to experts, the attacks are part of a long-term game of cat and mouse between Iran and the United States, with the Iranian regime willing to suffer economic hardship in pursuit of its goals.
In a separate development, Colombia has become the tenth nation to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move that has been praised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Netanyahu welcomed the decision, citing a shared Judeo-Christian heritage between the two nations and a common commitment to civilization and hope in the face of challenges from extremist groups.
