Botswana, Zimbabwe and Madagascar have all reported that ships are illegally using their flags.
Botswana is a landlocked country, and has no register of flags.
Zimbabwe is also landlocked.
Iran will surprise aggressors with new tactics and capabilities if war resumes: IRGC
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) warns that the Iranian armed forces did not use their full capacity in their reprisal missile and drone attacks against US and Israeli assets across the region, and will unveil new capabilities that are far beyond the enemy’s imagination in the event of renewed aggression.
“We haven’t yet used all our capabilities and if the war continues, we will unveil capabilities that the enemy does not have any perception about,” Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, an IRGC spokesman, said on Monday.
“We will unveil new warfare tactics that the enemy does not have the capability to counter,” he added.
The spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Defense echoed the same assessment. Brigadier General Reza Talaei Nik said, said on Monday that the armed forces’ strategic reserves, including missiles and drones, have been fully replenished and the forces are ready to defend the nation.
“Beyond the combat power and the use of new tactics and techniques, the Ministry of Defense’s logistical support remains active and aligned with the requirements of enhancing the defense power,” he said.
After 40 days of intense fighting that engulfed the entire region, Iran and the United States agreed to a two-week ceasefire, mediated by Pakistan, on April 8 to allow for diplomacy to permanently end the war.
The region is once again on edge, however, as senior Iranian and American negotiators left Islamabad on Sunday without a breakthrough following 21 hours of intense talks.
Iranian officials blamed “excessive demands” by the US for failure of those talks, with Iran’s right to enrich uranium and transit through the Strait of Hormuz being described as two of the major stumbling blocks.
Iran has placed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz as a response to the US-Israeli strikes on the country, effectively blocking the narrow waterway in the Persian Gulf to shipping linked to the aggressors and their allies.
Maritime data has shown that traffic through the strategic strait, typically responsible for one fifth of global oil supplies, has dropped to a trickle, sending energy prices soaring and roiling the global economy.
US President Donald Trump declared on Sunday that the US military would impose a total blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, saying it would apply to all vessels going to or departing from Iranian ports.
The US president further warned that any military vessel attempting to break the blockade will be “eliminated,” raising the specter of renewed hostilities even before the current ceasefire runs its course.
Iran’s armed forces called the restrictions in international waters “an illegal act” and “piracy.” The IRGC also warned that any warships approaching the Strait of Hormuz would be considered a violation of the fragile ceasefire.
The Iranian military said on Monday that any threat to the country's ports would trigger a broader regional response, and that no port in the Persian Gulf or the Sea of Oman would remain secure if Iranian ports are targeted.
US Central Command (CENTCOM) also announced the beginning of the blockade of all Iranian Persian Gulf ports and coastal areas, and the UK’s Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said it had received warnings that the blockade applies to all vessel traffic, regardless of flag.

The reasons why many died were only two. 1. Land. 2. To remove unqualified persons by vote. There you have it. Now land you are taking via Kuba and you want to take away the right to directly remove the unqualified and failed. Nada
@WelBeast So If City wins at Chelsea, and win their game against us, they will narrow it down to 3 points, and they still have a game in hand.
It's over
My sixth sense that of common sense is telling me that the Chelsea coach Rosenior does not want to play Enzo against City on Sunday because he wants to gift City the league title because Arsenal managed to beat him on all games they played.
@lemugangg@J_Murove Yeah i do but on Bolt.
I use a different strategy though
I have learnt that fuel say $20 everyday for 2 days isn’t the same as $40 on one go.
I fuel once, a full tank before i give the driver the car & maintain that fuel throughout the month.
Money daily🫡

Our struggles are different
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe governor John Mushayavanhu owns Zuva. Zanu PF benefactor Kudakwashe Tagwirei owns Sakunda and Trek. And you expect fuel prices to go down?
Government is with effect from Friday temporarily removing taxes on diesel amounting to US$0.54 per litre, in a move aimed at shielding consumers and key productive sectors from rising global fuel prices while safeguarding macro-economic stability.heraldonline.co.zw/breaking-gover…
@ZimTreasury@MthuliNcube01@GGuvamatanga So, if I get this well, Diesel will now go from @$2.05 to $2.11?
Or it will just remain unchanged but we must be grateful???
CHARADES, NOT HEARINGS!!What were supposed to be CITIZENS’ public hearings on the constitutional amendment bill have turned out to be a circus of choreographed, coached, and rehearsed ZANU (PF) slogans and rallies. The “outreach” has become an “in-reach” for a ZANU violent circus to reproduce their own contrived voices. This is nothing but a desperate attempt to create MANUFACTURED consent and lie that the CITIZENS support this otherwise hugely unpopular Bill.
The chaotic and shambolic outreach meetings are nothing but ZANU (PF) DCC-coerced gatherings. Citizens must reclaim their voice, power, and authority to be heard and to matter once more. Only a CONSTITUTIONAL settlement to this constitutional crisis, and a citizen government, is the only credible and bankable solution to the problems affecting Zimbabwe.
Disputed elections and national processes is the starting point to the resolution of the crisis. WE, THE CITIZENS, are the ANSWER.
Tendai Biti, Fadzai Mahere, Gladys Hlatywayo, and Doug Coltart are also present at the Constitutional Amendment Bill No. 3 public hearing at the City Sports Centre.
@shonapapi If it's a E51 V6 it will be a 2.5L and it's consumption will be 12.5km/L , it's manageable for the comfort and space it offers.
But if it's 3.5L haaa ma1
The ZRP confirms the arrest of Everson Masuka (48) in connection with a fatal hit-and-run road traffic accident which occurred on 28/03/26 at around 0530 hours along Samora Machel Avenue, near Showgrounds, Harare. The suspect, who was driving a Nissan Hardbody vehicle towards Chegutu, allegedly swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid collision with a vehicle in front of him. In the process, he struck a 45-year-old male pedestrian who was walking on the roadside. The victim was dragged underneath the vehicle for approximately 20 metres. He sustained severe head injuries and fractured legs. He died on the spot. The motorist did not stop after the accident.
