TASNIM NEWS AGENCY SAYS OIL TANKER EXPLODES AFTER HITTING NAVAL MINE IN STRAIT OF HORMUZ, LEFT PATH DESIGNATED BY IRAN

[Peter Apps @PeteApps]

A lobbying firm wanted to pay me to write articles critical of the Building Safety Regulator for newspapers. We filmed them undercover, admitting to secretly paying reporters for copy in British newspapers friendly to their clients:

Scoop:

Iranian drone strikes on multiple CIA facilities in the Gulf have prompted US analysts to probe whether Russia provided targeting info on the sensitive sites, per sources. While a matter of debate, at least one memo described to @Reuters argued Moscow did play a role

For housekeeping, there were three attacks reported by UKMTO. The 2 in the SoH are the same incidents as reported by UAE.

During these incidents, 2x ADNOC tankers, MT Mombasa [IMO 9739501] and MT Al Bahiya [IMO 9937799] were struck by IRGC cruise missiles whilst transiting the Omani route.

1 Indian crew member was sadly killed aboard Mombasa, 8 wounded (4 serious) - 6 Indian, 2 Ukrainian nationals. Fires on both vessels controlled.

A third tanker was hit last night in the eastern approach to the Gulf of Oman.

Iran has now attacked at the very least 6 (probably more) ships in the past week including ships from Bahri, Nakilat, and now ADNOC.

Just found out that2 of the spies who last year received long sentences in Britain for spying on me and @Dobrokhotov and plotting to kidnap or murder us, have been set free by the UK after serving their mandatory half-sentence. I wish someone had bothered to inform the targets.

During the Iran war, five satellite providers cut off access to images following U.S. government pressure. My colleague @ckoettl explains the impact on reporting, and the history of "shutter control." https://t.co/6OUPLSSiSU

[U.S. Central Command @CENTCOM]

U.S. Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The U.S. strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire.

Very unconfirmed and single source only at this stage:

Loaded Nakilat Shipping Qatar Limited LNG Tanker AL REKAYYAT (IMO Number: 9397339) reported struck by unknown projectile on port side/engine room whilst east of Musandam in the Strait of Hormuz.

Vessel broadcasting mayday.

Vessel has been dark for 18 days.

This challenges claim he is purely personal friend of Farage, who therefore didn’t need to report support received

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.

The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.

We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.

With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.

This YouTube channel has very few subs & views, but it shows some interesting things:
1. It promotes #AlabugaStart, Russia's deceptive programme to recruit people into drone factories
2. and 63 of its videos were marked as "this content is made for kids".

Here's how I know 👇
