    U.S. Acknowledges Operational Weapons in Space, Raising International Concerns

    The U.S. Secretary of the Air Force announced that the United States has operational weapons in orbit, marking the first official acknowledgment of such capabilities. The announcement drew swift protests from China and Russia, who urged the U.S. to stop expanding its military force in space. While international law generally permits conventional weapons in space, the Outer Space Treaty prohibits weapons of mass destruction and imposes constraints on military activities on the Moon and other celestial bodies. Experts warn that deploying or acknowledging such capabilities may fuel an arms race in space and reinforce negative perceptions of the U.S.

    Oil Flows Through Hormuz Despite Iran's Attacks; 'Dark Fleet' Emerges

    Despite Iran's attacks on ships and Washington's blockade, around 10-17 million barrels of oil per day are still passing through the Strait of Hormuz. An 'Arab dark fleet' of over 100 tankers operating without Automatic Identification System (AIS) is shuttling oil from Gulf ports into the Gulf of Oman, transferring cargo at sea to other tankers. This adaptation is working but at extraordinary cost, with tanker rates rising from around $50,000/day to over $1 million/day. Meanwhile, Iran's own major crude exports have effectively collapsed.
