MilitaryCrisis🇮🇷Iran 🇺🇸United States 🇴🇲Oman+1

7d ago

US Navy jets disabled two Iranian oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman by firing precision munitions into their smokestacks, part of an active American blockade that CENTCOM says is holding over 70 tankers and 166 million barrels of Iranian oil. Iran condemned the strikes as a ceasefire violation, claimed its forces delivered a 'heavy slap' in response, and separately seized a foreign tanker, while Foreign Minister Araghchi publicly accused Washington of sabotaging diplomacy — as President Trump threatened far harsher strikes unless Iran signs a deal 'FAST.'

MilitaryCrisis🇧🇷Brazil 🇲🇱Mali12h ago

The Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF) requested the Federal Court to anticipate the trial of the public civil action filed against the Federal Government for repeated attacks by the Brazilian Navy on the memory of João Cândido Felisberto . At the beginning of the 20th century, the sailor led the so-called Revolt of the Lash against physical punishments on board the ships of the military force. In a new application filed, the MPF argues that collective moral damages are “demonstrated by the facts themselves recognized in the action”.

Former US Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill recounted the details of the operation that killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, 15 years ago, emphasizing that the team's primary motivation was to avenge the September 11, 2001 attacks. In a press interview, O'Neill explained that the mission aimed to avenge the victims, noting that the special forces operatives were not seeking personal gain, but rather to eliminate the al-Qaeda threat. He stated that the team received initial notification of the mission three weeks prior, without disclosing the target.

Does China’s YJ-20 hypersonic sea-based missile give Beijing an edge over US carriers? The YJ-20 is China’s first sea-based hypersonic anti-ship missile to have entered mass production, giving the People’s Liberation Army a decisive strike advantage over all rival surface combatants worldwide. The YJ-20, with its remarkable range, hypersonic speed and near-invulnerability to interception, has been tailor-made for the Chinese navy’s Type 055 destroyer’s 112-cell vertical launch system (VLS).

Four Romanians on board ship seized by Iran, Foreign Ministry says Four Romanians are on board the MSC Francesca, a ship seized more than a week ago by the Iranian authorities, according to a statement given by the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, April 30. Around April 22–23, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Navy detained two ships for what it described as violations of maritime law and escorted them to Iranian shores. The IRGC accused the Panama-flagged MSC Francesca and the Liberia-flagged Epaminondas of operating without required permits and tampering with their navigation systems. MSC Francesca was hit by gunfire about eight nautical miles west of Iran as it was being seized, but it was not damaged, and its crew was safe, according to Reuters .

Japan’s Mogami-class destroyer appears to be pulling ahead in the race to become the next generation of warships for the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), in what would be another major deal for Japan’s defence industry just weeks after Tokyo announced it was lifting its long-held ban on weapons exports. Under its 2025 Defence Capability Plan, the government in Wellington has committed to replacing its two ANZAC-class frigates – launched in the early 1990s – with more capable, modern warships.
