By Reuters | Posted by TOE

Iran has issued a warning that vessels violating its ‌arrangements for transiting the Strait ‌of Hormuz could face restrictions, including fines, detention, ​or confiscation, the Persian Gulf Strait Authority wrote in a post on X.

The warning heightens risks for the charterers and ‌shipowners whose ⁠vessels transit through the Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway for ⁠the world’s energy shipments.

The PGSA, a new body Iran has established with ​the aim ​of managing the ​strait, has said ‌cargo owners should refer to an updated list of vessels deemed non-compliant for voyages relating to the Persian Gulf.

Vessels engaging in operations including ship-to-ship transfers or ‌transshipment with non-compliant vessels ​will also be ​added to the ​restricted list, it said.

Ships ‌seeking the removal of their ​names from ​the non-compliant vessels’ list must submit a request with relevant explanations ​to Iran’s ‌maritime authorities, the post said.

Foreign rescue teams and supplies arrived in Myanmar on Sunday to help the impoverished country cope with an earthquake that killed over 1,600 and left many near the epicentre scrambling for help without proper equipment. The 7.7-magnitude quake, one of Myanmar’s strongest in a century, jolted the Southeast Asian nation on Friday, leaving 1,644 people dead, 3,408 injured and 139 missing, the military government said. India, China and Thailand are among Myanmar’s neighbours that have sent relief ...

Israel says situation on Lebanon border ‘not sustainable’

-
By James Mackenzie Reuters  Israeli officials and media reacted with satisfaction on Monday after a  long-expected missile attack  by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah movement appeared to have been largely thwarted by pre-emptive Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. Both Hezbollah and Israel seemed content to let Sunday’s attack, in retaliation for the  killing of a senior Hezbollah commander  in Beirut last month, count as settled for the moment. Israeli government spokesperson David Mencer said Hezbollah had suffered a “crushing blow” from the Israeli strikes but that a longer lasting solution was still needed. “The current situation is not sustainable,” he told a briefing, referring to the tens of thousands evacuated from their homes in northern Israel, a situation mirrored on the other side of the border in southern Lebanon. “Israel will do its duty and return its population to our sovereign territory.” Hopes that children might return for the start of the ...
