OTTAWA -- Two Canadian cargo ships are stuck in the Persian Gulf and are unable to pass through the blocked Strait of Hormuz as the war in Iran continues.

The Miena Desgagnes and the Rosaire A. Desgagnes -- owned by Quebec-based Desgagnes -- were hauling general cargo to ports in Iraq, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The company told The Canadian Press the ships have been there since before the start of the conflict. The ships typically service Arctic communities during shipping season in

A medida que se intensifica la guerra en Oriente Medio, la batalla no se limita a ataques aéreos y de superficie. Incluso bajo las aguas del Estrecho de Ormuz, una amenaza oculta sigue latente y es mucho más difícil de detectar y neutralizar. Estados Unidos ha desplegado aviones de ataque A-10 y helicópteros Apache sobre el Estrecho de Ormuz, con el objetivo de atacar lanchas rápidas iraníes e instalaciones subterráneas de armas. Estas operaciones tienen como objetivo debilitar la capacidad de Irán para interrumpir el

Moitos españois encheron de aire os seus pulmóns cando escoitaron, días pasados, dicir ao presidente do seu país un claro e rotundo “Non á guerra” que Estados Unidos de América e Israel libran no Oriente Medio en contra de Irán. E non foi, ben se sabe, porque os españois non concorden con esa idea espallada por toda a nación desde que o presidente Aznar decidira formar parte do “trío dos Azores” nunha guerra contra Iraq cuxos motivos nunca puideron xustificar. Non: a formulación de Pedro Sánchez foi recibida e aceptada nun escenario de medo ás consecuencias dun outro enfrontamento de Sánchez con Trump que este, nunha proba evidente dunha suposta irracionalidade, tenta facer recaer nun país, España, descoñecido para o presidente

Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia but did not hit the US-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing multiple US officials.

One of the missiles failed in flight, while a US warship fired an SM-3 interceptor at the other, although it could not be determined if the interception succeeded, the newspaper said. The Journal did not specify when the missiles were fired.

The White House and the British embassy in Washington and Ministry of Defence did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
