Iran tightens control over Strait of Hormuz, suspending maritime traffic

from Tehran Times

The developments mark the sharpest escalation yet in the maritime dispute between Tehran and Washington since the end of the recent US-Israeli war against Iran, with Iranian military and civilian authorities insisting that responsibility for managing navigation through the strait rests exclusively with Iran under the bilateral understanding reached in Islamabad.

Speaking on state television on Sunday, Iranian Army spokesperson Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia said the United States had once again demonstrated 'a longstanding pattern of failing to honor its international commitments,' comparing the current dispute with Washington's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement and 'violations of the recent ceasefire arrangement.'

Akraminia said the Islamabad MoU explicitly assigns Iran responsibility for organizing transit and navigation arrangements in the Strait of Hormuz and obliges the Iranian Armed Forces to ensure the security of maritime passage.

"The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are obligated to provide the necessary security for passage through the Strait of Hormuz and to implement the arrangements stipulated under the agreement," he said, adding that Iran would firmly defend the rights granted to it under the memorandum...

US ‘taking over’ Strait of Hormuz – Trump

from RT

US President Donald Trump has claimed that America is “taking over” the Strait of Hormuz from Iran, and will act as the “guardian angel” of the key waterway “and get paid for it.” Tehran has earlier declared the strait closed, blaming “hostile actions” by US forces.

Speaking by phone to ‘Fox & Friends’ on Monday, Trump said Iran was getting its “ass kicked” in the war against the US, asserting that the country’s navy, air force and missile capabilities had been “virtually annihilated” and listing senior Iranian leaders he said had been killed. 

He added that US troops were continuing to carry out strikes against Iranian targets after he declared a ceasefire with Tehran to be “over” this past weekend.

“We’re taking over the strait. They’ve got nothing,” Trump said, arguing that Washington should have dealt with what he called the Iran threat “47 years ago.” He accused successive US presidents of having been “tapped along” by Tehran without taking decisive action...

Sheinbaum takes on cartels, Trump and the legacy of 1968

from al Jazeera

One of Claudia Sheinbaum’s earliest childhood memories is visiting political prisoners with her parents, a moment that helps explain why she calls herself a “child of 1968” — the year protest movements erupted around the globe.

In Mexico, mass student protests targeted the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which had governed Mexico since 1929. Often described as the “perfect dictatorship,” the PRI maintained the illusion of democracy through symbolic elections while suppressing dissent.

After months of protests, a crowd of activists assembled in Mexico City’s Plaza de las Tres Culturas on October 2, 1968. Helicopters circled overhead and flares were reportedly fired into the crowd, before snipers opened fire from nearby rooftops. As bodies fell, a panicked crowd scrambled for cover.

Estimates vary, but up to 300 were believed to have been killed and more than a thousand arrested, effectively quashing the movement.

‘Should Shock the Conscience’: Trump Admin Escalates War on Press With Subpoena of New York Times Reporters

from Common Dreams

The Trump administration on Friday escalated its war with the press by subpoenaing several reporters at The New York Times days after the paper published a story on Wednesday that detailed security concerns about the luxury jet the Qatari government gave to President Donald Trump.

According to the Times, the subpoenas are attempting to force reporters to testify before a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Wednesday next week, a move that the paper describes as an “extraordinary escalation in President Trump’s efforts to threaten and intimidate independent news organizations.”
