Yamal tells Barcelona: sign ‘red‑hot’ Osimhen

Barcelona teenage star Lamine Yamal has reportedly urged the club’s hierarchy to sign Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window. According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the 18‑year‑old winger believes Osimhen would transform Barcelona’s attack next season and has personally backed the Nigerian’s arrival. Yamal is said to have told club chiefs that Osimhen’s movement, pace and physicality would stretch opposition defences and ease the pressure on him in the final third. He reportedly argued that the striker’s constant runs in behind would create more space and chances for Barcelona’s creative players. Barcelona are planning for life after veteran forward Robert Lewandowski, whose contract is due to expire at the end of the season. With Ferran Torres also linked with a possible exit, the Catalan giants are actively assessing options to lead their frontline. Osimhen, 27, has been […]

Iran resumes rail services on routes damaged by war

Iran has resumed rail services on several key routes after repairing sections of track damaged during the recent war with Israel and the United States, according to state media reports on Monday. Authorities have begun reconstruction work on bridges, railway lines and other infrastructure that were hit during nearly 40 days of fighting. A fragile ceasefire has been in place since Wednesday, creating space for emergency repairs and limited restoration of transport links. In Iran’s northwestern Azerbaijan region, the director general of the railways said trains have started running again from the city of Tabriz to the capital Tehran and to Mashhad in the northeast. “These trains have resumed service after an interruption of four to five days,” Alireza Soleimani told the official IRNA news agency.

Turkey accuses Israel of portraying it as ‘new enemy’

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has accused Israel of trying to portray Turkey as its “new enemy” amid rising tensions over the Gaza war and the broader regional conflict involving Iran. Speaking in a televised interview with state‑run Anadolu news agency, Fidan said Israel “cannot live without an enemy” and is now attempting to cast Turkey in that role following years of confrontation with Iran and its allies. Relations between Ankara and Tel Aviv have steadily worsened since the Gaza war erupted after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 cross‑border attack on Israel. Fidan’s remarks came after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned United States President Donald Trump of possible “provocations and sabotage” that could undermine an initial ceasefire understanding in the US‑Israeli war on Iran. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will continue to confront Tehran and its regional […]

Five ways the Strait of Hormuz affects global oil supply

The potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz poses a major threat to global oil supply, given its role as one of the world’s most critical energy transit routes. The narrow channel connects the Persian Gulf to international markets and serves as a gateway for crude exports from key Middle East producers. Here are five ways the Strait of Hormuz affects global oil supply: Massive disruption to global oil flowAround 20 per cent of the world’s daily oil supply, estimated at roughly 20 million barrels, passes through the strait. A closure would immediately halt a significant portion of exports from major producers such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, creating a sudden supply shock in global markets. Limited alternative routesSome countries have pipelines that bypass the strait, but these alternatives cannot fully replace the volume transported […]
