What to know about Iran's islands, as the US expands its bombing campaign there The islands off Iran have become the latest focus of the war after a U.S strike destroyed military sites Friday on Kharg Island, which is vital to Iran’s oil network. The U.S. strike on the island in the Persian Gulf left its oil infrastructure intact, but President Donald Trump warned that if Iran or anyone else interferes with the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz, he will reconsider his decision not to wipe it out. Although they account for only a small share of Iran’s territory, the islands carry outsized importance because of their oil facilities and strategic location. Here’s what to know about Iran’s islands in the Persian Gulf up to the Strait of Hormuz: Kharg Island The small coral island about 21 miles (33 kilometers) off Iran’s coast is the primary terminal through which nearly all of Iran’s oil exports pass. Iran has exported 13.7 million barrels since the war started, and multiple tankers were seen on satellite imagery Wednesday loading at Kharg, according to TankerTrackers.com, maritime intelligence company. Iran gets a significant share of its revenue from oil, with shipments flowing to countries like China. A strike on Kharg would not only damage Iran’s current...

This Living Concept Reimagines Architecture for Islands That Are Vulnerable to Climate Change Fiji is one of the countries that is most at risk from climate change. Hoping to offer a solution to the challenges that its population faces, MASK Architects, creators of the first self-charging motorcycle, conceived a living concept for a future where the existing infrastructure becomes vulnerable. The Fiji Solar Crown is a structure that integrates everything to keep energy and water running, all wrapped up in a stylish and alluring design. “When infrastructure fails on an island, failure is immediate and visible,” say the designers. “There is no redundancy, no alternative grid, no distant reservoir to compensate. Energy instability, water scarcity, and environmental stress collide directly with daily life.” As such, MASK Architect sees the Fiji Solar Crown as a response framework, rather than an architectural object. The result is the world’s first dual-axis concave parabolic solar crown living system. Made of laminated bamboo, indigenous Fijian hardwoods, bamboo-fiber composites, and geopolymer eco-concrete, the buildings are anchored to a ground base or floating foundations, depending on the conditions. The structure is capable of producing renewable energy and fresh water, all while functioning as a climate-resilient living environment. The “crown” in the name refers to the kinetic concave solar mirror that...

EU- og Norge-flagg side om side.

Norge er dessverre låst i EU-debatten.

Det er lett å kritisere enkeltsaker, men vanskelig å se styrken i samholdet. Selv når verden er så urolig er vi mest opptatt av de små sakene.

Vi er gode til å telle kostnadene ved å bli med, men dårlige til å se prisen for utenforskap.

Character.AI Is Hosting Epstein Island Roleplays Scenarios and Ghislaine Maxwell Bots Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Email address Thank you! Even as scrutiny of the Epstein files reaches a fever pitch, the controversial AI platform Character.AI is hosting chatbots based on the prolific sex criminal, as well as his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and “Epstein Island” roleplays. The accounts aren’t hidden. Simple keyword searches for “Epstein” and “Ghislaine Maxwell” revealed more than a dozen different bots dedicated to the late sex trafficker, his accomplice, and the island Epstein owned where many of his crimes against girls and women occurred. And this isn’t the first time journalists have flagged the problem: the Bureau of Investigative Journalism first reported on the existence of Epstein bots on the site back in October 2025. The content exists in the form of the site’s “characters” — the companion-like AI bots the site is known for — as well as its newer “scenes” feature. Announced in October 2025, scenes are described as “short, character-driven roleplay moments that turn simple chats into immersive story-driven worlds.” In other words, they’re user-generated settings that operate as launchpads for what effectively become choose-your-own adventure stories. And though some are created with designated characters already in place, most...

Why has the US targeted Iran's Kharg Island? Why has the US targeted Iran's Kharg Island? Just now Alys Daviesand Frank Gardner ,BBC Security Correspondent, Riyadh Donald Trump has said the US military has bombed a small island off the coast of Iran - home to a major oil terminal that is considered the country's economic lifeline. The US president said Kharg Island's military facilities were "totally obliterated" but that it had held off targeting its oil infrastructure. Trump, however, warned that he would reconsider the decision not to target oil facilities on the island should Iran or others "do anything to interfere" with the safe passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz - one of the world's most important shipping channels, located south of Iran's coast. Iran's military said oil and energy infrastructure belonging to firms working with the US would "immediately be destroyed" should Kharg's oil infrastructure be attacked. Why is Kharg Island important to Iran? Kharg Island is a small rocky outcrop just 15 nautical miles (24km) off the coast of Iran. Despite its size, it is one of the most critical pieces of Iran's energy infrastructure. The US striking this small but vital island in the northern Gulf is like going for Iran's...

Military targets on Iran's key oil export island 'totally obliterated', Trump says Barbara Plett Usher Reporting from Doha Qatar's interior ministry made an announcement earlier saying it was evacuating a number of areas as a precautionary measure. The nature of the threat is still unknown at this stage, but Qatar did intercept two missile attacks overnight and this morning. It seems the aim is to protect places that host US economic interests after Iran said earlier this week these were legitimate targets. Locals received phone alerts to immediately evacuate Doha’s central Musheireb district, where offices for Google and American Express are located. Witnesses said some residents rushed to underground car parks for shelter. Guards are also said to be stationed at Microsoft’s Qatar headquarters, and the Reuters news agency is reporting that authorities evacuated part of an area that hosts branch campuses of six US universities. Elsewhere American embassies remain under threat. Security officials in Baghdad say the mission there has been hit in an attack; and the State Department is ordering non-essential government employees to leave Oman. US embassy in Baghdad struck by missile Earlier, we started getting details about an attack on the US embassy in Iraq's capital, Baghdad. A missile struck the building, causing smoke to rise from the...

U.S. hits military targets on Iran's Kharg Island as war escalates Trump said American forces had “executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East,” including destroying military targets on Kharg Island. Trump, writing in a social media post, added that “for reasons of decency, I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island,” though he warned Iran’s leaders that he would immediately reconsider that decision if they interfered with ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The president told reporters earlier Friday evening the US would continue its campaign as long as necessary, while also insisting “we’re way ahead of schedule.” He also suggested the US Navy would begin escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz “very soon.” Read more: Why a Strike on Kharg Island Would Shake Oil Markets The 14th day of the war marked the largest attacks yet against the Islamic Republic, with the US and Israel hitting around 15,000 targets since the war began, according to US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. In Iran, officials were defiant. Pictures posted on social media showed Ali Larijani, the secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, and several government ministers participating in rallies on Friday.

US-Israel Iran War Live Updates: Iran warns of strikes on US-linked oil targets after Kharg Island attack As the war in West Asia continues with escalating hostilities, President Donald Trump said the US military had carried out heavy bombing on Iran’s Kharg Island, a key hub that handles almost all of the country’s crude exports, while warning that the island’s oil infrastructure could be targeted if shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is disrupted. Trump said US forces had carried out a major raid on the strategic island, describing the attack as one of the most powerful operations conducted in the region. "The United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island," Trump said on social media. He also warned that Washington could target the island’s oil facilities if maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is threatened. "I have chosen NOT to wipe out the Oil Infrastructure on the Island. However, should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider." The wider conflict has continued to spread across the region. Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said the group...
