Trump plans prolonged blockade of Iran, says report

President Donald Trump has told his aides to prepare for a prolonged United States naval blockade of Iran’s key shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, according to US media reports. The move is part of efforts to intensify economic pressure on Tehran as the war enters its third month and peace efforts remain stalled. Trump has already ordered the US Navy to block ships heading to or from Iranian ports, a step aimed mainly at choking off Iran’s vital oil exports. He has repeatedly said Iran will never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon and insists any settlement must be on US terms. In meetings with senior advisers, Trump decided that maintaining and even extending the blockade was a less risky option than resuming large scale bombing or withdrawing from the conflict entirely. Analysts say Washington wants to […]

US boards tanker in Iran oil blockade push

The US Department of Defense has confirmed that American forces boarded a tanker suspected of carrying Iranian oil in the Indian Ocean, marking the latest escalation in Washington’s naval campaign against Tehran. According to officials, the operation targeted the vessel M/T Majestic X and was conducted as part of a “maritime interdiction” — a naval procedure used to inspect or seize ships believed to be violating international sanctions or supporting hostile activities. This move follows a broader maritime blockade imposed by the United States on 13 April, aimed at restricting traffic to and from Iranian ports. Since then, United States Central Command says dozens of vessels have been ordered to turn back, as enforcement efforts intensify across key shipping routes. Tensions have risen further after Donald Trump instructed the US Navy to take direct action against any boats suspected of […]

IDF jails soldiers over vandalised Jesus statue

The Israeli military has sanctioned two soldiers involved in damaging a statue of Jesus in southern Lebanon, following widespread outrage over the incident. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the soldier who struck the statue with a sledgehammer and another who documented the act will each serve 30 days in military detention. Both have also been removed from combat duties after an internal investigation. The IDF added that six other soldiers present at the scene failed to intervene or report the act and will face separate disciplinary measures. The incident took place in the village of Debel and drew strong condemnation after images circulated widely online. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was “stunned and saddened” by the episode. In a statement, the military said the soldiers’ behaviour was a clear violation of its rules and values, expressing […]

Trump extends Iran ceasefire, delays talks

Diplomatic efforts in Washington took an unexpected turn Tuesday as planned peace talks between the United States and Iran were postponed at the last minute. US Vice President JD Vance had been scheduled to travel to Islamabad for negotiations, but the trip was ultimately shelved. Instead, President Donald Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire with Iran, which had been due to expire on Wednesday evening. The move, he said, was intended to give Tehran more time to present a “unified proposal” aimed at ending the conflict. The decision marks the second time in recent weeks that Trump has stepped back from escalating tensions, opting instead to prolong negotiations as the war approaches its second month. Uncertainty surrounded the planned talks throughout the day. The visit by Vance was never formally confirmed, and Iran had not publicly committed to participating. […]

Iran shuts Strait of Hormuz again amid war talks

Iran’s military has again declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, only hours after briefly reopening the vital waterway to commercial traffic. The move has renewed uncertainty over efforts to reach a peace deal in the ongoing US Israeli war with Iran. Tehran announced on Friday that the strait which normally carries about one fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments was open following a ceasefire in Lebanon that paused Israel’s war with Hezbollah. That decision sent oil prices sharply lower and raised hopes of easing tensions. However, Iran warned it would shut the strait again as long as the United States maintained a naval blockade of Iranian ports. On Saturday, state TV quoted the country’s military central command as saying control of the strait had returned to its previous status and was under strict management by the armed […]

Iranian sailors leave Sri Lanka after attack

More than 200 Iranian sailors who had been stranded in Sri Lanka following a naval incident have now returned home after spending over a month in the country. According to Deputy Defence Minister Aruna Jayasekara, a total of 238 sailors were repatriated. This included 32 crew members rescued from the Iris Dena and 206 from the Irins Bushehr. The group departed on Tuesday night after being flown out of Sri Lanka. The incident began on 4 March, when the Iris Dena sank approximately 40 kilometres off Sri Lanka’s southern coast after being struck by a torpedo reportedly launched from a US submarine. The attack resulted in the deaths of 104 sailors. The following day, Sri Lankan authorities took control of the Irins Bushehr after it requested permission to dock due to engine failure. The vessel was allowed into port on […]

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 […]

WHO halts Gaza evacuations after deadly incident

The World Health Organization has suspended medical evacuations from Gaza Strip to Egypt via the Rafah crossing following the death of a contractor during a security incident. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed that the contractor, identified locally as Majdi Aslan, 54, was killed on Monday. Two other staff members present at the scene were not injured. He did not provide further operational details. According to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry, the contractor was driving a WHO-rented vehicle in southern Gaza when it was struck by Israeli forces. The Israel Defense Forces said its troops fired after identifying an unmarked vehicle approaching their position near a military boundary, describing it as an immediate threat. The army stated that warning shots were initially fired before additional rounds hit the vehicle. An investigation into the incident is ongoing. In response, the WHO has […]

Iran Players Honour School Strike Victims Before Nigeria Match

Iran’s national football team has paid tribute to victims of a deadly strike on a school by staging a silent protest before their friendly match against Nigeria. The game, played in Belek, Turkey, was Iran’s first outing since the wider Middle East conflict began. As the national anthem played, the Iranian players stood in a line wearing black armbands and holding children’s schoolbags in their hands. In front of them on the pitch, more schoolbags were laid out to symbolise the pupils who lost their lives. The gesture was in memory of the children and teachers killed when a school in the southern Iranian city of Minab was hit by a strike on February 28. Officials in Iran say at least 170 people, most of them schoolgirls, died in the attack. Iran has blamed the United States and Israel for […]

Settler attacks escalate in West Bank villages

A wave of violence has struck several Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank, where extremist Jewish settlers carried out coordinated attacks, setting fire to homes, vehicles and farmland. The incidents followed the death of an 18-year-old Israeli settler, Yehuda Sherman, who was killed on Saturday after being struck by a vehicle while riding a quad bike.

Among the affected communities were Jalud, Qaryut, al-Funduqmiya and Silat al-Dhah. Images and videos shared online, though […]
