Starmer: UK To Host Multi Nation Meeting On Hormuz Shipping

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 Vows Defiance As Trump Threatens To Destroy Key Oil Island

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 Confirms Death Of Revolutionary Guards Navy Commander

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 […]

Gulf states hit by attacks as Iran conflict grows

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 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 […]

Trump to Visit China for Talks with Xi

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 […]

Tehran studies US 15 point peace plan as Iran fires missiles at US carrier

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 […]

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 […]

Iran pounds Israel with missiles as questions grow over Trump talks

Iran has fired a new wave of missiles at Israel, hitting parts of Tel Aviv and injuring several people, as confusion deepens over reported talks to end the three week old Middle East war. Streets in Israel’s commercial capital were left strewn with rubble after a building in an upscale neighbourhood suffered a direct hit.​ Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai said the strike tore open the facade of a three storey block in the city. Israeli media, citing police, reported that the damage was caused by a cluster munition missile believed to carry three to four warheads, each loaded with about 100 kilograms of explosives.​ The missile barrage came hours after Iranian outlets reported that US Israeli warplanes had struck two gas facilities and a pipeline inside Iran. Those strikes followed United States President Donald Trump’s earlier threats to attack […]

Oil prices plunge as Trump pauses Iran energy strikes

Oil prices fell sharply on Monday while European stock markets rebounded after United States President Donald Trump suddenly ordered a halt to planned strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. His comments on Truth Social marked a sharp shift from his earlier threats over the weekend.​ Brent crude futures at one point dropped more than 14 percent before trimming losses to trade down about nine percent. West Texas Intermediate crude also slid, and European gas prices fell by around four percent as traders reacted to the pause in military action.​ Analysts said markets now need more clarity because Iran has publicly denied that any talks with the United States have taken place. That denial partly cooled the initial relief rally and reminded investors that tensions in the Middle East remain high.​ European stocks had opened the week with heavy losses but turned […]
