The ship was likely transporting more than a million barrels of crude oil, loaded on Kharg Island in February.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Zelenksy again predicted the start of a new mobilization in the Russian Armed Forces, this time, for some reason, of just 100,000 people.

Previously, he had already announced a new imminent mobilization in Russia at least three times - first on January 3, 2023, then on April 3, 2024, and most recently on December 30, 2025.

🇱🇧🇮🇱Hezbollah has published a video of an FPV drone striking another launcher of the Iron Dome air defense system in the same place where a previous one was hit earlier .

However, there is a suggestion that in both cases, the victims of the drones might have been high-quality mock-ups:

▪️On both of the hit launchers, there are no central lifting hydraulic cylinders, characteristic of real launchers, but there are extra slats.

▪️There are also no connection cables on the sides, protruding supports, and a characteristic antenna on the left.

▪️In addition, the central part of the support part looks completely empty, whereas in reality, various mechanisms are located there.

It is likely that the IDF is deliberately placing these mock-ups in the same place, provoking Hezbollah's drone operators to hit a convenient but not real target.

🇺🇸🇮🇷The landing of the special unit Force Recon from the 31st Expeditionary Unit of the US Marine Corps on the Iran-linked tanker Celestial Sea under the flag of Aruba in the Gulf of Oman.

The landing was carried out without parachutes from the helicopter SH-60 Seahawk under the cover of the helicopter UH-1Y Venom, which took off from the deck of the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) states that the detained vessel was suspected of attempting to violate the American blockade of Iranian ports, but was released after a search with an order to change its course.

Over the entire period of the blockade, according to CENTCOM, 91 commercial vessels were redirected.
