Shippers warned to stay away from Iranian waters over seizure threat as US-Iran tensions high

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:22:46 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Western-backed maritime forces in the Middle East on Saturday warned shippers traveling through the strategic Strait of Hormuz to stay as far away from Iranian territorial waters as possible to avoid being seized, a stark advisory amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S. A similar warning went out to shippers earlier this year ahead of Iran seizing two tankers traveling near the strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of the world’s oil passes. While Iran and the U.S. now near an apparent deal that would see billions of Iranian assets held in South Korea unfrozen in exchange for the release of five Iranian-Americans detained in Tehran, the warning shows that the tensions remain high at sea. Already, the U.S. is exploring plans to put armed troops on commercial ships in the strait to deter Iran amid a buildup of troops, ships and aircraft in the region.U.S. Navy Cmdr. Timothy Hawkins, a spokesman for the Mideas...

ROME (AP) — Italy’s justice minister visited a Turin prison on Saturday where two women died within hours of each other, as prisoner advocates warned of a spate of summertime suicides in Italy’s overcrowded detention facilities.Justice Minister Carlo Nordio told reporters his visit wasn’t an inspection or investigation into the Lorusso and Cutugno prison, but rather a demonstration of solidarity with the facility following the deaths Friday. He called for alternative forms of detention and the conversion of military barracks for prison use to help relieve overcrowding.According to news reports and the Antigone Association, which advocates for better prison conditions, an Italian woman killed herself in her cell at the prison, while a Nigerian woman died within hours in the facility’s mental health ward after having refused food and drink since she arrived July 22. Even before their deaths, Antigone had counted 42 prison suicides so far this year, following the 85 in 2022...

Polish minister says reinforcement at the border with Belarus is due to hostile rhetoric and actions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:22:46 GMT

JARYLOWKA, Poland (AP) — Poland’s defense minister said Saturday that the country has increased the number of troops protecting its border with Belarus as a deterrent amid “destabilizing” actions by its pro-Russian neighbor. Mariusz Blaszczak met in Jarylowka, in eastern Poland, with some of the troops recently deployed close to the Belarus border.He insisted that the increased military presence is purely a deterrent move, not a hostile act, as Minsk and Moscow are claiming. “There is no doubt that the Belarus regime is cooperating with the Kremlin and that the attacks on the Polish border are intended to destabilize our country,” Blaszczak said.Two Belarus military helicopters briefly entered Poland’s airspace last week, a move considered by Warsaw to be a deliberate provocation. Also a pro-government group in Belarus recently alleged that Poland’s politicians, who support Ukraine in its war against Russia’s aggression, were “igniting the fire of war with their actions and rhetoric...
