Iran vows to attack any vessel passing through Strait of Hormuz

Iran has threatened to attack any ship that attempts to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical shipping lanes for oil exports. Ebrahim Jabari, a senior advisor to the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, stated that the Strait is now closed and warned that guards and navy forces will set ablaze any vessel trying to transit. This threat marks Iran's most direct alert since announcing the closure of the crucial waterway, posing a significant threat to nearly 20% of global oil exports and potentially causing steep rises in crude oil prices worldwide. The Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that regular navy forces would ignite vessels attempting to navigate through the strait if anyone tries to pass despite the closure. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi indicated that several nations had approached Tehran seeking safe passage […]

Iran Seizes Vessel in Gulf of Oman

Iranian forces have reportedly seized a vessel operating as a “floating armoury” in the Gulf of Oman, according to maritime security company Vanguard. The ship is said to be heading toward Iranian territorial waters following the incident. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) also confirmed that the vessel was moving toward Iranian waters after being intercepted. BBC Verify reviewed tracking information from MarineTraffic, which showed the vessel — identified as the Honduras-flagged Hui Chuan — last transmitted its position about 70km northeast of Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday.

Navy intercepts 130 bags of smuggled rice in Badagry

The Nigerian Navy has intercepted 130 bags of smuggled foreign rice in the Badagry area of Lagos State during a recent anti smuggling operation. The seizure is part of ongoing efforts by naval authorities to clamp down on economic saboteurs operating along Nigeria’s western maritime corridor and border creeks. According to naval sources, personnel attached to the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Badagry carried out intelligence led patrols along the Badagry–Porto Novo axis before tracking down the smugglers. The operation, conducted in line with the Navy’s harmonised standard operating procedures, led to the confiscation of multiple bags of foreign parboiled rice that had been brought in through illegal routes. The intercepted consignment, each bag weighing 50kg, was later handed over to the Nigeria Customs Service for further investigation and necessary action. Officials of Customs’ Seme Area Command and Western Marine Command […]

New Clash Tests US-Iran Ceasefire

Tensions between the United States and Iran have sharply escalated again despite ongoing claims from both sides that a ceasefire agreement remains in place. The latest confrontation occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic maritime route vital to global oil transport, where both countries accused each other of initiating military attacks. US President Donald Trump stated that the ceasefire with Iran was still active, even after clashes involving American naval destroyers and Iranian forces. According to Washington, Iranian forces launched missiles, drones and small attack boats against three US warships navigating through the strait. American officials described the operation as an “unprovoked attack”. Trump reacted strongly to the incident, saying Iran had “trifled” with the United States and warning that Washington was prepared to respond with greater force if Tehran failed to quickly finalize a peace agreement currently under […]

US pauses Hormuz shipping plan amid tensions

Donald Trump has announced a temporary halt to “Project Freedom,” a US-led initiative designed to help commercial ships navigate the blocked Strait of Hormuz. The plan, unveiled just days earlier, aimed to assist vessels stranded after Iran restricted access to the vital shipping route, insisting that passage required its approval. Trump described the effort as a humanitarian measure to support countries and companies caught in the disruption. However, escalating tensions quickly complicated the operation. Iranian forces reportedly targeted US naval assets, while US forces responded by engaging small boats seen as threats to commercial shipping. These incidents raised concerns about a potential breakdown of the fragile ceasefire between the two sides. Two days after launching the initiative, Trump said the US would pause the operation briefly to allow space for negotiations with Iran. He added that progress was being made […]

Somali Pirates Hijack Oil Tanker Near Yemen

Somali pirates have seized an oil tanker near Yemen, according to several Somali security officials who spoke to the BBC. Earlier, Yemen’s coastguard confirmed that the vessel, MT Eureka, had been taken over and was heading toward Somalia.

Security sources from Puntland said the attackers launched their operation from a remote coastal location near Qandala, a town along the Gulf of Aden. Three officials independently confirmed the details to the BBC. This is the second oil tanker hijacked in the region within 10 days. On April 22, pirates captured the vessel Honor 25, which was transporting 18,500 barrels of oil to Mogadishu. Before the incident, MT Eureka was sailing under the flag of Togo.

Trump orders US Navy to destroy boats laying mines in Hormuz

President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered the United States Navy to destroy any boats found laying sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating pressure on Iran over control of the vital waterway.​ “I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be… that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz,” Trump wrote in a post cited by U.S. media. He added that there should be “no hesitation” in carrying out the directive.​ Trump also said U.S. mine‑sweeping operations were already under way. “Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers’ are clearing the Strait right now,” he stated, underscoring Washington’s determination to keep the strategic chokepoint open to international shipping.​ The Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Gulf to global markets, is one of the world’s most important energy corridors, […]

Iran Guards say they turned back three ships in Strait of Hormuz

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have announced that they turned back three container ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz, declaring the strategic waterway closed to vessels travelling to and from ports belonging to allies of the United States and Israel. The Guards said the move came after what they called “lies” by US President Donald Trump, who had claimed the strait remained open. According to a statement on the Sepah News website, the Guards warned that any vessel heading to or from ports of countries they described as “allies and supporters of the Zionist-American enemies” is now prohibited from passing through the corridor. They stressed that Iran would enforce this restriction as part of its response to the ongoing war sparked by US and Israeli attacks on February 28. Energy market intelligence firm Kpler said it identified two container ships […]
