Fuel protests disrupt Ireland supply chain

Fuel tankers have regained entry to a major oil refinery in Ireland after several days of disruption caused by ongoing protests. Earlier on Saturday, Irish police, An Garda Síochána, moved in to clear the blockade at the Whitegate Refinery in County Cork. Officers used pepper spray and were supported by the Irish Defence Forces to remove tractors that had been obstructing access. This allowed fuel trucks to resume operations at the site. The protests, now in their fifth day, have significantly disrupted fuel distribution across the country. Hundreds of petrol stations have already run dry, and industry representatives warn the situation could worsen if blockades continue. The group Fuels for Ireland has cautioned that up to two-thirds of filling stations could run out of fuel if access to storage depots is not fully restored. While access has been re-established at […]

US denies agreeing to unfreeze Iran assets

A senior United States official has denied a report that Washington agreed to unfreeze Iranian assets held in Qatar and other foreign banks as part of ongoing talks with Tehran. The denial came after an unnamed Iranian source told Reuters that the US had consented to releasing the frozen funds in return for safe passage for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. In a message from the White House, a senior US official dismissed the report as false, stressing that the meetings between both sides had not even started at the time the claim was made. Iran and the US have sent delegations to Islamabad, Pakistan, for talks aimed at ending the wider war in the Middle East. Tehran has publicly insisted that any permanent ceasefire must include unfreezing its sanctioned assets and an end to Israel’s war on Hezbollah […]

Nigeria jails nearly 400 over militant links

Nearly 400 individuals in Nigeria have been convicted for their involvement with militant Islamist groups after a series of large-scale court proceedings. Those found guilty received prison sentences ranging from five years to life imprisonment. Authorities linked the convictions to affiliations with Boko Haram and its offshoot, the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP). These trials come amid growing concerns over insecurity in the country, as the government faces increasing pressure to restore stability. Nigerian security forces continue to confront a wide range of threats, including extremist groups, separatist movements, and kidnapping networks. The Boko Haram insurgency, which began in 2009 in the northeast, has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and forced more than two million people to flee their homes, according to humanitarian organisations. Amid the worsening security environment, the United States recently advised its citizens to […]

Artemis II crew returns after historic Moon mission

The crew of NASA’s Artemis II mission has safely returned to Earth, completing a historic journey around the Moon that took them farther into space than any humans before. The mission concluded with a successful splashdown in the Pacific Ocean after a precise and carefully managed re-entry. The Orion spacecraft entered Earth’s atmosphere from an altitude of about 400,000 feet, undergoing a planned six-minute communications blackout before descending toward the ocean. Within 13 minutes, the capsule completed its return, deploying parachutes to slow its descent before landing safely at sea. Mission commander Reid Wiseman confirmed the crew’s status shortly after splashdown, reporting that all four astronauts were safe and in good condition. Recovery teams quickly transported them to the US Navy vessel USS John P. Murtha for initial medical checks, before their return to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston […]

Artemis II success boosts Moon mission hopes

NASA’s Artemis II mission has successfully completed a historic journey around the far side of the Moon, safely returning four astronauts to Earth and reigniting global interest in human space exploration. The Orion spacecraft performed as expected, while images captured during the mission have inspired a new generation to imagine life beyond Earth. However, despite this achievement, experts caution that the most difficult phase of the Artemis programme still lies ahead. While orbiting the Moon is a major milestone, establishing a sustained human presence there—or eventually reaching Mars—remains uncertain. A new ambition beyond Apollo When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon in 1969, many believed it would mark the beginning of permanent human activity in space. Instead, the Apollo programme ended after achieving its geopolitical objective during the Cold War. This time, NASA’s vision is more ambitious. […]

Five key facts about the US Iran talks in Pakistan

The United States and Iran are holding their highest level talks in years in Islamabad, Pakistan, in a bid to turn a fragile two week ceasefire into a lasting end to the war that has shaken global energy markets. The war behind the talksOn February 28, the US and Israel launched coordinated strikes that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and hit key military and nuclear sites, with more than 2,000 people killed in five weeks. Tehran responded by effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway through which about a fifth of global oil and gas passes, pushing energy prices higher and disrupting trade. On April 8, Pakistan brokered a two week ceasefire between Washington and Tehran, with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council saying the talks could last up to 15 days and the truce expected to expire […]

Iran sets new ship routes in Strait of Hormuz

Iran has announced new shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, citing safety concerns over possible sea mines in the main channel used by vessels. The decision comes as Tehran agreed to temporarily reopen the strategic waterway under a two week truce deal, after weeks of tension that threatened global oil supplies. About one fifth of the world’s oil passes through the strait. In a statement reported by local media, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps advised all ships to follow designated alternative paths to reduce the risk of hitting sea mines and to improve maritime safety. The guidance includes revised entry and exit routes for vessels using the corridor. The move follows a ceasefire agreement reached between Iran and the United States, which took effect overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. The truce was reportedly secured less than an hour before […]

Iran insists on right to enrich uranium in talks

Iran’s nuclear chief has insisted that Tehran will keep its right to enrich uranium in any future peace talks with the United States. Mohammed Eslami, head of Iran’s nuclear programme, spoke on Thursday on the sidelines of a memorial service for late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. He rejected US demands that Iran should end uranium enrichment, according to Iran’s ISNA news agency. “Those are their wishes, and those wishes will be buried,” he said, referring to US calls for Tehran to halt enrichment. Even before the ongoing war, officials from Washington and Tehran had been holding indirect talks over Iran’s nuclear activities. US President Donald Trump has said his goal is to prevent Iran from building a nuclear bomb. Tehran has repeatedly denied it is seeking nuclear weapons, saying its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes even as it […]

US and Iran agree to temporary ceasefire deal

The United States and Iran have agreed to a conditional two-week ceasefire, allowing the temporary resumption of shipping through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The agreement follows more than a month of escalating tensions after coordinated US and Israeli strikes on Iranian targets. The breakthrough came just hours after US President Donald Trump issued a stark warning, threatening severe consequences if Iran failed to reopen the key maritime route. Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif, who has been facilitating the talks, confirmed that the ceasefire took effect immediately on Wednesday. Positions from Washington and Tehran President Trump stated that the US would pause military operations for two weeks, provided Iran ensures full access to the Strait of Hormuz. He indicated that the decision was made after the US had achieved its primary military objectives. The announcement followed earlier remarks by Trump […]
