The Navy is increasingly concerned that the Islamic State or other terrorist groups could acquire and deploy cheap naval mines, which analysts say are available on the international black market to any group able and willing to pay. One potential nightmare scenario: A few mines in the Strait of Hormuz in the Middle East could shut down the key shipping channel for days or weeks. A fifth of the world’s oil supply moves through the narrow passage, the only route connecting the oil-rich Persian Gulf region to the open sea. Blocking it for even a few days could have a significant impact on global markets. To emphasize the concern, the mine-clearing exercise led by the U.S. this spring tested how the international community would respond if a terrorist group placed mines in Hormuz or in other strategic choke points in the region. Reporters for The Virginian-Pilot and the Investigative Reporting Program traveled to Bahrain in April to observe the exercise.
I wrote this a decade ago after traveling to Bahrain while investigating the U.S. Navy's aging minesweeping systems, which had fallen into disrepair:

I think we can do wildlife and iconic British at the same time: City pigeon eating a dropped sandwich on £5.

The BBC will regret jettisoning the Oxford vs Cambridge Boat Race
The Conservative press are all up in arms over the BBC "losing the rights to the boat race" like it's some great national betrayal.
Meanwhile, in the real world:
● LBC had the radio rights from 2005 to 2010
● ITV had tv rights from 2005 to 2009
● Nobody else cares

A lot of people on Bluesky sneering at this. But Russia has no interest in helping Iran, apart from the fact they're a key regional ally, they sell them Shahed drones, and that a prolonged war and with it rising energy costs help the Russian economy.

Incredible things are happening in Austria.
the eastern hemisphere must take off our cultural blinkers and accept that other ways of thinking exist; the fact that our societies view you as unfit for high office if you're suffering age-related cognitive decline does not make that a universal truth
to understand the motivations of the occidental leaders who started this war, it's important to remember the concept of "face". the leadership won't authorise the release of the strategic petroleum reserve because to do so would be to admit they made an error – and so, lose "face"
trying a new bit for size, about the difficulty of understanding the inscrutable occidental mind. the leadership will say one thing in the morning and its opposite in the evening; to rational europeans, the two stances seem irreconcilable, but domestic media nods and interprets
