Iran’s oil exports from Kharg Island have increased despite the ongoing war with the United States and Israel, according to Iranian officials and local media. Kharg is Iran’s main export terminal and handles the vast majority of the country’s crude shipments. Moussa Ahmadi, head of the Iranian parliament’s energy commission, said that inspections and meetings on the island showed that oil exports have not decreased in recent days but have actually gone up. His comments were carried by Iran’s ISNA news agency. Kharg Island normally handles around 90 to 95 percent of Iran’s crude exports, estimated at about 1.7 to 2 million barrels per day before the latest escalation. Despite air strikes on military targets there, US officials have said they deliberately avoided hitting oil loading infrastructure, allowing exports to continue. Maritime data firms report that crude loading at Kharg […]
Iran has denied that it is holding negotiations with the United States over a plan to end the ongoing war, insisting that Tehran has not yet replied to a reported US peace proposal. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a televised interview that while Iran receives messages from Washington directly and through regional intermediaries, these do not amount to talks. US officials have circulated a 15 point plan, passed to Tehran by Pakistan and other intermediaries, setting out proposals to halt hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Some media outlets had reported that Iran responded with its own counterproposal, but Araghchi dismissed these accounts as mere guesses and said no formal answer has been sent. He stressed that there are currently no grounds for negotiations with Washington, declaring that Iran does not intend to negotiate and will continue its […]
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that Britain will host a multi nation meeting focused on restoring safe commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The gathering will bring together representatives from around 35 countries to discuss diplomatic, economic and security steps to reopen the vital waterway, which has been heavily disrupted by the Iran conflict and related blockades. Starmer said the UK is prepared to take a leadership role in coordinating a credible, collective plan to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Gulf. He warned that ongoing disruptions in Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil and gas shipping routes, pose a serious threat to global energy supplies and living standards in countries like Britain. The meeting, to be hosted in London and led by Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, will bring together foreign and defence officials from […]
Iran has vowed to remain defiant after United States President Donald Trump threatened to destroy one of its most important oil export islands. In fresh comments, Trump warned that Kharg Island and other energy facilities could be “completely obliterated” if Tehran does not quickly agree to a deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to full traffic. Speaking on his Truth Social account, Trump said the US was in “serious discussions” with what he called a more reasonable regime in Tehran. But he added that if the talks fail or if the Hormuz Strait is not “open for business” immediately, Washington would blow up Iran’s electric plants, oil wells and Kharg Island, and possibly its desalination plants as well. Kharg Island handles about 90 percent of Iran’s crude oil exports and is seen as the backbone […]
Iran has officially confirmed the death of Alireza Tangsiri, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, days after an Israeli strike targeted a naval base in the south of the country. State media said he died from severe injuries sustained in the attack. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had earlier announced that a precise air operation killed Tangsiri and several other senior naval officers. The strike reportedly hit facilities in the port city of Bandar Abbas, a key hub for Iran’s naval operations in the Strait of Hormuz. The United States Central Command later confirmed Tangsiri’s death in a statement. US officials accused him of overseeing years of harassment against merchant ships, attacks on vessels using drones and missiles, and operations that caused civilian deaths. Tangsiri had led the IRGC Navy since 2018 and was a central figure […]
Several Gulf countries have reported fresh attacks as the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran enters its fifth week, raising fears of wider regional instability. In the United Arab Emirates, authorities confirmed that an Iranian strike hit a major aluminium facility in Abu Dhabi, injuring several people and causing significant damage. The plant is operated by Emirates Global Aluminium, one of the region’s key industrial players. In Bahrain, Aluminium Bahrain reported that two workers were wounded after a similar attack targeted one of the world’s largest aluminium smelting sites. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it carried out the strikes using drones and missiles, describing them as retaliation for US and Israeli attacks on Iranian industrial infrastructure. Tehran has recently accused Israel of targeting critical steel production facilities within its territory. Elsewhere in the region, Oman said […]
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 […]
US President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit China on May 14-15 to meet with President Xi Jinping. The trip had been postponed from late March due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran. This will be the first visit by a US president to China in nearly a decade. Trump also announced that Xi Jinping is expected to visit Washington later this year. Preparations for both trips are reportedly underway. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the new dates, noting that China understood the need to delay the visit so Trump could remain in the US during critical military operations. Beijing has not officially confirmed the dates, but Chinese officials stated that both sides are maintaining communication regarding the visit. They also highlighted the strategic importance of leader-level diplomacy for guiding bilateral relations. The trip was initially postponed after […]
Iran has received a 15 point peace proposal from the United States aimed at ending the Middle East war, Pakistani officials have confirmed. The plan was relayed to Tehran through Pakistani intermediaries even as Iran announced it had fired a volley of cruise missiles at the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. The conflict, which began on February 28 with a joint US Israeli bombing campaign on Iran, has rapidly spread across the region. The fighting has sent oil prices soaring and raised fears that the global economy could be pushed into a new crisis. US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed that talks with Iran are making progress, although Tehran continues to deny that any direct negotiations are taking place. Despite the public denials, two senior officials in Islamabad told AFP that American proposals to halt the fighting have […]
