U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday called on nations to send warships to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for shipping as Iranian forces continue their retaliation campaign amid U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran. About a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas normally passes through the strait, a narrow passage of water between Iran and Oman. Tehran’s ability to stop shipping through the channel could give it enormous leverage over the U.S. and its allies. “The Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait must take care of that passage, and we will help…

Discontent among Cubans has been mounting as the island is buffeted by rolling blackouts and shortages of food, fuel and medicine, exacerbated by a prolonged US oil blockade.

The Palestinian armed group Hamas has called on Iran to stop its attacks on Gulf states, in a rare appeal to its key ally. In a statement, the Tehran-backed group urged its “brothers in Iran to avoid targeting neighbouring countries”, saying all regional nations should co-operate “to preserve the bonds of brotherhood”. At the same time, Hamas, which runs Gaza, affirmed Tehran’s right to defend itself against attacks by the US and Israel, which are continuing to strike Iran. The Iranian authorities have said their own retaliatory strikes target “American installations” on Gulf soil rather than the neighbours themselves -…
Since Italy became a country in 1861, there has been a surefire way to know who is and isn’t an Italian citizen: look at their parents. The first page of the civil code, published in 1865 as the rulebook to Europe’s newest country, declared that a child born to an Italian citizen was an Italian citizen. This founding tenet of the Bel Paese now looks set to change — ending diaspora dreams of returning to the mother country, and meaning that Italians who move abroad risk denying citizenship to their descendants. On Thursday the Constitutional Court said it would rule…
During the first two weeks of the latest war in the Middle East, as US and Israeli strikes rained down on military and energy facilities across Iran, one site went conspicuously untouched. Despite its tiny size, Kharg Island is an economic lifeline for Iran, handling roughly 90% of the country’s crude exports – meaning any assault on it risks major escalation. But on Friday the US hit military facilities on the island. Sites related to the oil trade were not hit, according to US officials and Iranian state media. But Trump has threatened to strike those too, if Iran continues…

Japanese Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said the weapons landed outside the country’s exclusive economic zone and that there were no reports of damage to planes or ships. The South’s Joint Chiefs said the military has…
Walk into any storeroom where products have stopped selling, and you can usually tell within a few seconds what is going on. The energy feels different from a space where goods are moving. The boxes are stacked a little too neatly, the labels are still super clean, and someone has clearly decided that if they just wait a bit longer, the right buyer will swoop in and clear everything at full price. This is the moment many business owners find themselves in when a product line stalls or a business begins winding down. It’s also the moment when instinct and…
