Iran on Thursday has claimed that its naval forces successfully targeted an American military vessel.
The Indian Navy is set to significantly expand its fleet this month by inducting five indigenously-built naval platforms. These include two Project 17A stealth frigates, a survey vessel, and two anti-submarine warfare crafts, enhancing maritime security and reducing foreign dependence. The new additions bolster India's growing indigenous shipbuilding capabilities and combat readiness.
Iran's state media reported its navy targeted a US destroyer in the Gulf of Oman, citing US actions against Iranian commercial vessels. The US Central Command refuted the claim, stating its military assets at sea are operating safely and unimpeded.
Tourists planning a trip to Thailand this week may need to prepare for wet weather, possible travel disruptions and rough sea conditions, as the country's meteorological agency has forecast widespread rainfall and thunderstorms across several regions. According to the Thai Meteorological Department (TMD), a strong south-west monsoon over the Andaman Sea, Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand, combined with a low-pressure system off the coast of Vietnam, is expected to bring persistent rain across the country on June 2. Authorities have warned of heavy rain in several provinces and very heavy rainfall along parts of Thailand's west coast in the south. The weather conditions could trigger flash floods and runoff in low-lying areas and locations near waterways. Which tourist areas could be affected? Popular destinations on Thailand's west coast, including Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga, Trang and Satun, are expected to see the heaviest rainfall, with thunderstorms forecast across 80% of the region.131421089 In eastern Thailand, tourist destinations such as Pattaya and coastal areas in Rayong and Trat could also experience thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain. The forecast for Bangkok and surrounding areas indicates thunderstorms in around 60% of locations, with isolated heavy downpours possible. What should island-hoppers and beachgoers know? Travellers planning boat trips, island tours or water activities should closely monitor local weather advisories. The TMD has warned of rough seas in both the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. Wave heights in the upper Andaman Sea, including waters around Phuket, are expected to reach 2-3 metres and could exceed 3 metres during thunderstorms. In the lower Andaman Sea, including waters near Krabi and southern islands, waves could rise above 2 metres during storms. Authorities have advised vessels to proceed with caution and avoid sailing through thunderstorm zones. Small boats in the upper Andaman Sea have been advised to remain ashore. How could the weather affect travel plans? Heavy rain may lead to delays for ferry services, island excursions, outdoor sightseeing and adventure activities. Tourists visiting beaches, national parks and mountainous areas should be alert to local weather warnings, particularly in regions vulnerable to flash flooding.
Ships passing near Iran without obtaining Iranian approval face the threat of an almost-certain attack by Iranian drones or missiles, US officials said.
The IRGC Navy reported 28 vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian authorization, asserting Iran's control over the area amid U.S. military presence.
In a bold move against drug trafficking, US military forces have launched a series of airstrikes on vessels suspected of transporting narcotics in the eastern Pacific, leading to the demise of several individuals involved. This operation underscores a renewed effort to dismantle Latin American drug cartels and halt the relentless influx of illegal drugs into the United States.
The U.S. military said on Saturday it had carried out a strike on a โvessel โ in the โ eastern Pacific killing three men, the second strike in as many days. U.S. Southern Command said in โ a post โon X that intelligence had โ confirmed that the vessel was transiting along "narco-trafficking" routes in the eastern Pacific, engaged in "narco-trafficking" operations. "Three male narco-terrorists were โkilled during this action. No U.S. military forces were โ harmed," it said. This is the latest such incident over the last few months.

13 Indian-flagged vessels are currently in the Strait of Hormuz region
As the US and Iran continue to negotiate favourable terms for a peace deal, the Strait of Hormuz has been shut to commercial vessels. However, several Indian-flagged vessels have been able to cross the tense waterway.
India is among the countries with the highest number of vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz amid the US-Iran war.
The United States and Iran have reached an agreement to extend a ceasefire, allow shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and lift a U.S. blockade and some sanctions on Iran, sources โtold Reuters, but the deal has not been finalised.An agreement would represent โa big step towards ending a war that has pushed the world towards an energy crisis, though the underlying dispute over Iran's nuclear programme โwould only be thrashed out in talks over subsequent weeks.Where Have The Discussions Got To?Following a ceasefire in early April, the two sides have remained at odds on issues including Iran's nuclear ambitions, Israel's war in Lebanon with the Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia, and Tehran's demands for the lifting of sanctions and the release of frozen assets.After weeks of mainly indirect talks, four sources familiar with the matter said on Thursday that the U.S. and Iran had โagreed a memorandum of understanding โ that would โ halt the war and give negotiators 60 days to reach a final deal.Read More: Bigger proportion of non-Iran ships crossing Hormuz strait: DataHowever, both sides have said several times before that they believed an agreement was close but without ever concluding an agreement. The position of Israel, which launched the air war on โIran on February 28 alongside the United States, is central to any deal but its role in the agreement is unclear.U.S. President Donald Trump has not yet approved the deal, according to the sources. Vice โPresident JD Vance said on Thursday: "We're not there, but we're very close and we're going to keep working on it".Iran has not yet formally commented, but the semi-official Tasnim news agency cited a source close to the negotiating team as saying the text of the agreement had not yet been finalised or confirmed.Iranian sources have previously said a framework deal is only about ending the war โon all fronts, establishing a 30-day framework for international and Iranian movement through the Strait of Hormuz and possibly providing some โ financial relief.There would โthen be negotiations on the more difficult issues, such as the status of Iran's highly enriched uranium and details concerning the strait, and the sequencing of โthe many points in the โpreliminary deal such as sanctions relief and security.The last deal over the nuclear programme - struck in 2015 and torn up by Trump in 2018 - took โ years of negotiations between large teams of technical experts.What Are The Main Issues?Hormuz And Gulf BlockadeIran's closure of โthe Strait of Hormuz, the conduit for a fifth of global supplies of oil and liquefied natural gas, has pushed up oil โprices. Reopening the strait is the U.S. priority and Iran's main point of leverage, but it could take time.Many vessels are stuck in the Gulf and Iran says it has laid some sea mines that could be difficult to locate.The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports is hitting Iran's own exports and state revenue. Lifting this is one of Tehran's main goals. A sensitive issue could be how far U.S. forces withdraw.NuclearThe U.S. says it believes Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb. Iran has always denied this, saying its atomic programme is for peaceful purposes only. The focus is on its enrichment of uranium, which generates fuel for nuclear power but can also make material for a warhead.The nuclear question is extremely complicated. Iran might eventually agree to dilute part of its highly enriched uranium โin a friendly country into uranium enriched to 5% purity and then have it returned, Iranian sources said.Read more: US inflation hits three-year high in April as Iran war fuels energy price surgeBut many other issues would still need to be addressed: how long the nuclear program would be halted, whether nuclear sites would be dismantled, what happens to stockpiles of uranium enriched to 20% and 5%, the โfuture of Iran's advanced centrifuges โand research and development programs and the rules governing an โ inspections regime, among others.Ballistic MissilesA prominent U.S. demand before the war was that Iran limit the range of its ballistic missiles so that they could not reach Israel. Iran has always said its right to conventional weapons is non-negotiable and that it still has a large arsenal.Sanctions And Frozen AssetsIran's economy has been hurt by sanctions for years, contributing to the nationwide unrest in โJanuary. Tehran badly needs them to be lifted and tens of billions of dollars of Iranian oil revenues frozen in foreign banks to be released. It also wants reparations for war damage.The United States has resisted this, with Trump having lambasted former president Barack Obama for having returned some frozen assets to Iran under the 2015 nuclear deal. Some media have reported that the latest draft agreement would include an investment programme for Iran.LebanonIran has repeatedly said that Israel's war against its main ally Hezbollah in Lebanon must be included in any deal. Israel and Lebanon agreed a ceasefire last month but both Israel and Hezbollah accuse each other of repeated violations and Israel's military is ramping up its campaign in southern Lebanon. Israel would oppose any U.S.-Iran agreement that limits its ability to act in Lebanon.
