On Wednesday, U.S. sent com said its struck Iranian military installations in retaliation for Iranian strikes on ships in the state of Hormuz.

British singer Bonnie Tyler has died. She was likely best known for 1980s hits, including totally clips of the heart. She was 75. And PR's Isabella Gomez Sarmiento reports. Bonnie Tyler had a pension for songs that feel larger than life.
