In tensions between Iran and the United States, tankers are targeting the Strait of Hormuz

In tensions between Iran and the United States, tankers are targeting the Strait of Hormuz

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (AP) - Two tankers near the strategic channel of Hormuz were destroyed on Thursday for alleged attacks, causing a hot, another drift and forcing sailors to evacuate the latest mysterious events involving tankers. Because tensions have intensified the United States and Iran.

The US Navy rushed in to help the affected ships, and the shipowners did not immediately explain what weapons caused damage to the MT Front Altair and Kokuka Courageous in the Gulf of Oman near the Iranian coast, although everyone believed that these ships were the target of the attack. After the first Altair burned for a few hours, it burned half of the side of the ship and sent a thick black smoke to the sky.

Last month, the United States claimed that Iran used shell mines to attack four tankers in the nearby Fujairah port of the United Arab Emirates. Iran denied participation, but at the time of the incident, Iranian-backed Yemeni rebels also launched missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, including oil infrastructure.

At the same time, in Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that although Tehran does not seek nuclear weapons, "the United States cannot take any action" to stop Iran.

The comment was made in a one-on-one meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on a high-risk visit to Tehran aimed at easing Iran-United States. Tension shows that the effort has failed.

The benchmark Brent crude's transaction price after a suspicious attack rose by 4% to more than $62 a barrel, highlighting the region's importance to the global energy supply. One third of the oil traded on the sea passes through the strait, which is the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf.

Major. The fifth fleet spokesman Joshua Frey said that the US Navy is assisting the two vessels he called "the reported attack." He did not say how the ships were attacked, nor did he say who was behind the attack. He said that the US destroyer USS Bainbridge was sent to assist.

Affected by suspected attacks, the Marshall Islands crude oil tanker MT Front Altair immediately caught fire.

The company that runs Front Altair told the Associated Press that the explosion was the cause of the fire on board. It stated that 23 crew members were safe after being evacuated by a nearby modern Dubai vessel.

The BSM ship management department stated that Kokuka’s brave hull was damaged by the hull and that 21 crew members had been evacuated and one of them was slightly injured.

Iranian state television said that the 44 crew members of the two tankers had been transferred to an Iranian port in the southern province of Hormuzgan.

According to data company Refinitiv, Front Altair is from Ruwais in the United Arab Emirates, which is the loading point for the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company. It carries naphtha, a flammable hydrocarbon. Refinitiv said that Kokuka Courageous comes from Mesaieed in Saudi Arabia and Jubayl in Saudi Arabia, who carry methanol, a compound used in various products.

Jakob P. Larsen, head of maritime security at BIMCO, said the two vessels are still floating, suggesting that mines may have destroyed them, the largest international association representing shipowners.

"From the point of view of damage, it doesn't look like a torpedo. It looks like a smaller thing, whether it's an improvised explosive device on board or a limpet mine," he told the Associated Press.

He added: "The shipping industry believes that this is an escalation of the situation. If there is no real armed conflict, we will approach the conflict, so the tension is very serious."

The timing of the suspected attack on Thursday was particularly sensitive as Abe’s high-risk diplomatic mission was under way in Iran. The Japanese Ministry of Trade said that the two vessels had "Japanese related goods" and did not elaborate.

On Wednesday, after talks with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Abe warned that it is necessary to avoid any "accidental conflict" in the context of increased tension between the United States and Iraq.

His news came in the hours after Iranian-backed Hussein rebels in Yemen attacked Saudi airport, attacked their arrival hall before dawn and injured 26 people on Wednesday. A Saudi-led coalition has been fighting Houthi for more than four years, and UN experts and Western countries say they have obtained weapons from Iran. Tehran denied this.

After Abe met with the top leaders on Thursday, the website of Khamenei issued a statement saying that the exchanges between the two sides were tense.

"We have no doubt about your kindness and seriousness, but... I don't think (President Donald) Trump should exchange any information," reported that Khamenei told Abe.

Khamenei also said that Iran still opposes the construction of nuclear weapons, but challenges Trump.

"You should know that if we plan to produce nuclear weapons, the United States will be powerless," Khamenei said, and he has the final say on all the national issues in Iran's Shiite theocracy.

As Iran seems ready to break the 2015 nuclear deal with the world's major powers, this is the agreement that the Trump administration withdrew last year and the tension in the Middle East has escalated.

Iran’s nuclear deal saw Tehran agree to limit its enriched uranium in exchange for lifting severe sanctions.

When he quit the deal last year, Trump pointed out that the agreement did not restrict Iran's ballistic missile program, nor did it solve the bad influence that Tehran said in the Middle East. The person who reached an agreement at the time said that this was the cornerstone of further negotiations with Iran. The Iranian Islamic government had been in tension with the United States since taking over the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and the subsequent hostage crisis.

Iran has said that its production of low enriched uranium has quadrupled. At the same time, US sanctions have weakened Iran’s chances of trading its excess uranium and heavy water abroad, leaving Tehran to violate the terms of the nuclear deal anyway.

Dubai's Associated Press writer Aya Batrawy, Berlin's David Rising, Tokyo's Mari Yamaguchi and Iran's Tehran's Amir Vahdat contributed to the report.

Wasim Akram criticizes Pakistani management for giving up Shadab

Wasim Akram criticizes Pakistani management for giving up Shadab

TAUNTON: Pakistan's former captain and Swing ka Sultan Wasim Akram criticized Pakistani management for giving up Shadab Khan because of the game against Australia. You can't give up your main pitcher who can get you tickets in the middle.

After Australia’s victory over Pakistan, Akram’s news was disappointing. He said Pakistani players looked drowsy on the court and had no energy against Australians.

“First, I totally disagree with today's team choices. How can you give up Shadab,” Wasim was questioned.

He answered his question and said that the Pakistan team seems to be under pressure from the Green Top checkpoint.

But adding that no matter what the ticket gate, discarding Shadab Khan is not a wise decision, and calling it a bad performance when Australia brought Shane Warne to its peak.

“Like the Australians, the mighty Australians gave up Shane Warne. Shadab is your main shooter and he can get your tickets in the middle. It’s not a good decision to give up,” Wasim said.

He also questioned the ability of Hassan Ali, who has only six tickets in 10 ODIs this year, averaging over 90.

"Hassan Ali did not take the small door. This is a worrying issue. He is our main pitcher in the championship trophy and the leading ticket inspector, but now he seems to be in a bad state. He must improve his game. You can't play in ODI as you did in T20Is," Wasim said.

Vasim also criticized Pakistani field personnel for being drowsy during the garrison and said that there was no excitement.

He said: "What is your expectation for the captain behind each ticket gate at each time to keep the team motivated, you need to work actively and quickly on the court."

The former captain added that Pakistan can achieve its goal, but the lack of partnership limits the team.

"The way Wahab and Hassan finally defeated was a message. If you stay at the ticket gate, you can achieve the goal. When Wahab has a hope in the game, but I know this is just a ticket gate problem, this is What happened after Wahab went out," he stressed.

He added that Pakistan will face tremendous pressure on Manchester's match against India on Sunday, but he said that Pakistan should forget what happened and be full of energy.

"It's not too late. Learn from mistakes, forget the past and look forward." When asked about the Pakistani team, Wassim said.

“India is a good side. They have already surpassed Australia. Pakistan will face pressure and beat a team like India. You need to do your best,” concluded the former captain.

“This is the time when the state stops praising the money launderers,” Prime Minister Imran said.

“This is the time when the state stops praising the money launderers,” Prime Minister Imran said.



Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday that it is time for the country to "stop landscaping" money launderers. He said that these money launderers have caused damage to the country and plunged the people into poverty.

He emphasized on Twitter that no agreement should extend to the current refuge behind “seeking 'democracy'” - referring to the main opposition PML-N and PPP party members, some of whom are facing corruption and money laundering cases.

Editor: The struggle between the PTI government and the opposition will become more chaotic and ugly

"Under this special treatment, who in the world is the predator of public wealth?" He questioned that he did not say what agreement he was referring to. The Prime Minister added that it is time to treat these people as “criminals”.


A few hours after Prime Minister Imran’s tweet was published, he sneered at the opposition party in his national speech on Tuesday night and announced that he would establish a high-power committee under his leadership to explore how successive governments of PPP and PML-N The trillion-dollar loan from Rs24 over the past decade has brought the country to the brink of bankruptcy.

The address was presented at the National Budget Council's noisy budget meeting and earlier in the day by the National Accountability Office and MQM founder Altaf Hussain after two major arrests by the London police against the opposition leader of the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz.

He said the committee will include representatives of intelligence agencies, the Federal Charges Commission, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pakistan Securities and Exchange Commission, and will work under his supervision (PM).

He claimed that the opposition parties united and tried to blackmail the government because they wanted a National Reconciliation Regulation (NRO). "They may threaten my government, they may threaten my life, [but] they can't stop me. I will bring everyone who brought this country to this country to justice. This is my commitment to the Pakistani people. "

Earlier, when speaking at the PTI Parliamentary Committee meeting, he expressed satisfaction with the arrest of opposition leaders in corruption cases and said that this was a "good sign" for the future of the country.

According to one participant at the meeting, “Arrest Ali Pard CEO Asif Ali Zardari, PML-N leaders Hamza Shahbaz and Altaf Hussain are clearly in the interest of the country.”

Pakistan fans will not boo Smith in World Cup: Sarfaraz Ahmed

Sarfaraz Ahmed insists that Pakistani fans will not humiliate Australian star Steven Smith in the Taunton World Cup on Wednesday.

Pakistani fans are expected to occupy a large part of the Western population, and there are fears that they may follow the example of Indian supporters who mocked Smith on the oval.

But Pakistani captain Safaraz said his compatriots would not adopt this strategy.

"I don't think Pakistanis will do this," Safaraz told reporters on Tuesday.

“Pakistan people like cricket, they like support, they like players.”

Many Indian fans sang "swindlers" on Smith, and Smith served as a year-long ball for his Australian ball tampering scandal during his 2018 South African tour.

Indian captain Virat Kohli signaled that the crowd was quiet and later apologized to Smith.

At the same time, Safarraz vowed that Pakistan will give Australia a 5-0 powder in March.

"I think things have disappeared and it's over," said Safaraz, who competed with six other top players in Pakistan.

"We didn't take this into consideration. Actually we are thinking about tomorrow's game. So our morale is very high and we will do our best."

Sarfaraz refused to accept whether Australia was affected by the absence of the all-around player Marcus Stoinis, who was ruled out.

Australia has already convened another versatile Mitchell Marsh as a potential cover for Stonys.

"I am not thinking about them, what are they thinking about now. I am thinking about my team, so we will plan them well," Sarfaraz said.

After the Pakistan team's game against Sri Lanka was eliminated on Friday, they left a frustration and shared a point.

Prior to this, after the failure of the West Indies, the Pakistani team defeated the England team with a 14-win victory and put their campaign back on track.

Due to the poor weather forecast for Taunton on Wednesday, Safaraz said his team is ready to shorten the game.

"First, we can't control the weather. It's the same for both teams. But if the game is short, then planning is definitely a change," he said.

According to sources, President Imran will give the country confidence in the country’s economic and political situation.

Sources added that PM will speak to the nation at 9:15 pm, but time has changed.

After the PTI government presented its first budget in the National Assembly today, PM Khan is speaking to the nation.

In addition, Nawaz Sharif is serving his sentence in Adiala prison.

Czech film festival to honour Oscar-winner Julianne Moore

Prague: Organizers said on Tuesday that the American Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore will win at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic at the end of this month.

Moore won the 2014 Best Actress Award for his role in "Quiet Alice". She is also known for "The Big Lebowski", "Hannibal", "The Hours" and "The Kids Are All Right".

The organizer said in a statement that Moore will receive the Crystal Global Award for "Outstanding Contribution to World Films" at the opening ceremony.

Moore will launch their latest movie "After the Wedding" with her husband, screenwriter and director Bart Freundlich.

The organizers said that "Six Feet Under" and "Sharp Objects" star Patricia Clarkson will receive the same Crystal Globe at the final ceremony.

Cuba travel ban: Disappointed passengers return to after being rerouted mid-cruise

Last week, after imposing new travel restrictions on island nations, they found their ship changing from Cuba to the Bahamas on Wednesday, and passengers on the Norwegian Sun boat were disappointed, but not entirely surprised.

After the new policy changed, thousands of people in the Norwegian sun landed in Port Canaveral, Florida, earlier Friday. How many crew members did not calculate immediately, but the ship usually sailed 2,700.

Some travellers who did not want to be named said that they knew exactly when the captain began speaking on Tuesday. Many people know that travel restrictions on Cuba can be implemented, but they are surprised by the sudden incident.

Torres: Cuban cruises and plans to visit Hemingway’s farm have collapsed

Most people are satisfied with how Norwegian cruises handle this situation, regardless of their disappointment with the effectiveness of the policy.

Passengers get a 50% discount on travel and 50% travel in the future. Customers who purchase tickets on future Cuban cruises will be able to receive a full refund from Norway.

Many passengers, such as Daniel and Heather Davenport from Georgia, were excited to go to Cuba, but they said they had a good time in the Bahamas.

"We were disappointed. We found it the night before when we were on the boat in Key West," Daniel Davenport said.

"But the cruise did, so it's good," Heather Davenport said.

Cobiax is still optimistic, wearing a souvenir Cuban T-shirt, because he and his wife carry luggage in the suitcase on Friday morning. Like many passengers, he does not comment on the politics behind the travel ban.

"That's it. Maybe we will have a chance to return to Cuba in the future, but for now, we enjoy the Bahamas," Ax said.

When the new policy came into effect on Tuesday, the Trump administration banned cruises to Cuba, yachts and fishing boats were affected, and about 800,000 tourists across the country were affected.

President Obama’s aim to ease the relationship between the United States and Cuba marks the United States’ permission to travel directly to countries less than 200 miles from Key West.

In a statement issued on Thursday, officials of the Norwegian cruise company said they "have stopped calling all the calls in the country and are modifying the previously scheduled flights. We shared the disappointment and frustration of the guests with this unexpected change. ""

Norwegian cruise passengers departing from Cuba on September 2 will have two options:

Sailing the modified itinerary and obtaining a 50% refund of the paid fare, as well as a 50% credit for future cruises, valid until December 31, 2020.

Cancel your reservation and get a full refund. If you choose this option, you must notify the cruise before June 11.

The sailing after September 2 will be automatically cancelled and the refund will be applied to the original payment method. Customers affected by these cancellations will receive a 20% discount on the current cruise fare for any new voyage booked prior to August 5th, no later than December 31, 2020.

World Cup 2019: Bangladesh-Sri Lanka match abandoned due to rain

Bristol: The Sri Lanka World Cup match against Bangladesh was abandoned on Tuesday due to the lack of hitting due to Bristol's rain.

This is the second consecutive time that Bristol has participated in the World Cup. This game has become a victim of bad weather. Sri Lanka did not have any results in the match against Pakistan in the southwestern part of Gloucestershire on Friday.

In the three World Cup games scheduled to be held in Bristol, only one game produced any competition. The champion Australia team defeated the outside Afghan team with seven shots and started their championship defense.

Heavy rains overnight and early in the morning delayed the start of Tuesday's game at 10:30 am (0930 GMT) local time.

As the rain continued to decline, the referee inevitably sang the match at 1:57 pm (12:45 GMT) after several inspections.

Both sides received a flushing point.

This is no result for the second World Cup, after Monday's short-lived South Africa game against South Westampton's West Indies.

Rain to play big role in WC semi-final line-up: Finch

England TAUNTON: Australian team captain Aaron Finch believes that the current wet weather in the best areas of England may have a major impact on the World Cup semi-final lineup.

Finch's Australian team will face the Pakistan team at the World Cup in the county on Wednesday. It has been raining here in recent days, and the weather forecast is not good on the competition day.

Pakistan came to Taunton from Bristol, where their match with Sri Lanka was broken by a ball. The Australian won two victories in three games and was not affected by the rain, but Finch was fully aware that he could not keep his team's fate in the hands of the weather.

"...the weather, I think it may play an important role in the next few days. It will start to be refined next week, and the rest of the game looks good.

"But it's important that you get an early victory on the board, because if they do participate in the game, then you don't want to end up with some errors that might put you in the top four."

The Bristol match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh was also abandoned on Tuesday, which means that the three World Cup matches have been eliminated so far.

Pakistani captain Sarfraz Ahmed is more philosophical when he emphasizes that the weather is beyond anyone's control.

"You know, you can't control the weather. No matter what happens, it's for the two teams," he said.

But Safraz quickly added that his team will prepare a strategy just in case it is forced to play a rain game on Wednesday.

“Of course, if the game is short, the plan will change,” he said.

Safraz agreed that the toss on Wednesday is crucial. "The team wants to win the toss. If we win the toss, we will definitely try it first."

She revealed that she was a cricket host when she first interviewed, just to have fun on the local news channel in 2015, when she was a makeup artist and her own studio.

In addition, she also used the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as one of the key stages in her career to help her build confidence.

She continued to announce that although she received many invitations to host political talk shows, she refused and did not want to follow this path in the future.
