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 […]

Strait of Hormuz cargo traffic falls 95 percent amid war

Cargo traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped by about 95 percent since the Middle East war erupted with US Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28. From March 1 to the early hours of March 24, only 149 commodity carrier crossings were recorded in the 167 kilometre long waterway.​ Data from analytics firm Kpler shows that 94 of these crossings were by oil and gas tankers, with around 61 percent of them loaded and more than two thirds sailing eastwards out of the strait. On Monday, Iran flagged tankers Artman and Kiazand, along with US sanctioned vessel Lenore, were among the few ships to pass through.​ The Jasmin tanker sailed in the opposite direction, heading towards an Iranian port after departing Karachi. A Chinese owned container ship, Newvoyager, also transited the strait after reportedly making a payment to […]

UK, allies working on Hormuz plan but rule out NATO mission, says Starmer

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the UK is working with allies on a “viable” plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz but has ruled out any NATO led mission.​He said the goal is to restore freedom of navigation in the vital oil route without dragging Britain into a wider Middle East war.​ Speaking at a Downing Street press conference, Starmer revealed he had discussed the crisis with US President Donald Trump and several European leaders.​He explained that the UK is coordinating with European partners, Gulf countries and the United States on a collective response.​ Starmer stressed that any operation to secure shipping lanes will not be under the NATO umbrella and has “never been envisioned” as a NATO mission.Instead, he said it would likely involve a broader coalition that includes regional partners most directly affected by Iran’s actions. Pressed […]

Iran warns against wider war as Trump urges allies to escort ships

Iran has warned foreign countries not to join a proposed naval coalition to escort oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, saying wider involvement could escalate the ongoing conflict into a broader war.The warning came after US President Donald Trump called on allies and major energy importers to send warships to protect vessels in the strategic waterway. In a phone call with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urged France and other nations to refrain from any action that might expand the fighting.He cautioned that further militarisation of the Gulf could push the region toward a confrontation that would be difficult to control. Iran has previously said it is prepared for a prolonged conflict with the United States and Israel and warned that such a war could severely damage or even “destroy” the global economy.The country […]

Cubans fear deeper crisis as Venezuela oil lifeline is choked off

Cubans are bracing for even tougher times after the United States seized two more Venezuela linked oil tankers, threatening to cut a key source of fuel to the island.​The seizures come just days after US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, raising the risk that Venezuelan crude supplies to Cuba could shrink further or stop.​ In the port city of Matanzas, shuttered filling stations and long queues for petrol already reflect worsening shortages.​Residents fear longer and more frequent power cuts, saying the loss of Venezuelan oil will deepen an economic crisis marked by high inflation, blackouts and shortages of basic goods.​ Venezuela had recently supplied about 27000 barrels of oil per day to Cuba, covering roughly half of the country’s fuel deficit.​Mexico and Russia have become important secondary suppliers, but Mexico’s president says her country has not increased shipments, limiting […]

Venezuela slams Trump’s ‘total blockade’ threat

Venezuela has condemned US President Donald Trump’s order for a “total and complete” blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers heading to the country, calling it a “warmongering” threat and a grave danger to peace in South America. The move is part of Washington’s effort to increase pressure on President Nicolas Maduro’s government.​ The escalation follows the recent seizure of an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast and a significant build-up of US military forces in the region. In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused Venezuela of using oil revenue to fund drug trafficking and other crimes and vowed to expand the military presence until Caracas hands over oil, land and other assets he claims were “stolen” from the United States.​ Trump wrote that Venezuela is “completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America” and […]
