New Delhi:Apple's entry-level MacBook Neo is available at a significantly reduced effective price during Flipkart's Independence Day Freedom Sale, giving buyers an opportunity to pick up the laptop for less than its current official price.

<nh-chunk-delimit /> The base model is listed at Rs 72,990 on Flipkart, while eligible SBI credit card users can bring the effective price down to Rs 68,740.The offer comes at a time when Apple has increased the official price of the MacBook Neo in India. The laptop, which was launched at Rs 69,900, now carries an official price of Rs 79,900 on Apple&apos;s website following a Rs 10,000 increase earlier this year.For consumers looking for an affordable way to enter Apple&apos;s MacBook ecosystem, the current sale could therefore be worth considering. However, buyers should check the applicable bank terms, stock availability and exchange valuation before making a purchase.MacBook Neo price drops during Freedom SaleThe MacBook Neo is currently listed at Rs 72,990 on Flipkart as part of its Independence Day sale. This represents a discount of around Rs 6,910 compared with Apple&apos;s current official price of Rs 79,900.The effective price can fall further for customers using an eligible SBI credit card. According to the reported offer, buyers can receive a discount of Rs 4,250, taking the effective price down to Rs 68,740.This makes the deal particularly attractive for consumers who were considering buying the MacBook Neo but were discouraged by its recent price increase.There are also additional credit card offers from selected banks, although the exact benefit can vary depending on the card, transaction value and terms applicable during the sale.Exchange offer can reduce the price furtherFlipkart is also offering exchange benefits, potentially making the MacBook Neo considerably cheaper for customers who have an older electronic device to trade in.The exchange programme accepts several categories of products, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, smartwatches, monitors, routers, gaming consoles and printers. The final exchange value depends on the device being exchanged and its condition.For example, the report notes that an iPhone 15 could attract an exchange value of up to Rs 23,450. If a buyer receives the full quoted value and also qualifies for the other applicable discounts, the effective cost of the MacBook Neo could fall to around Rs 45,290.However, the maximum exchange value should not be treated as a guaranteed price for every device. Flipkart determines the final value based on the product submitted and its condition, so customers should check the exchange quote during checkout.MacBook Neo has already received a Rs 10,000 price hikeThe latest sale is particularly noteworthy because the MacBook Neo is now considerably more expensive than it was at launch.Apple introduced the MacBook Neo in India at Rs 69,900. Its official price subsequently increased by Rs 10,000, taking it to Rs 79,900. The price on Apple&apos;s official website remains Rs 79,900.The current Flipkart offer therefore brings the laptop closer to its original launch pricing, particularly for customers who qualify for the SBI credit card discount.For buyers who do not have an eligible card, the Rs 72,990 sale price is still lower than Apple&apos;s official price, although the difference is smaller.iNvent is offering another MacBook Neo dealFlipkart is not the only retailer offering a discount on the MacBook Neo.Apple reseller iNvent is reportedly offering the laptop at an effective price of Rs 66,508. It also lists an EMI option of Rs 3,062 per month. However, the base variant was out of stock at the time of the report.This means shoppers may have to compare availability and final checkout prices across retailers before deciding where to purchase the laptop.Stock could also change quickly during the Independence Day sale period, particularly for the discounted base configuration.Is the MacBook Neo worth buying at Rs 68,740?The MacBook Neo is positioned as Apple&apos;s more affordable MacBook and is aimed at users who primarily need a laptop for everyday tasks. This includes students and people who use their computers for browsing, office work, entertainment and other routine activities.Its relatively lightweight design also makes it appealing to users who prioritise portability. The combination of Apple&apos;s ecosystem and a lower entry price makes the Neo different from the company&apos;s more expensive MacBook Air and MacBook Pro ranges.At Rs 68,740 after the SBI credit card discount, the laptop becomes considerably easier to justify than at its Rs 79,900 official price. The deal is especially interesting for existing Apple users who want a MacBook without spending around Rs 1 lakh.However, customers should consider their workload before buying. Users who regularly perform demanding video editing, professional development, intensive graphics work or other resource-heavy tasks may need to consider Apple&apos;s higher-end MacBook models instead.Buyers should check the final price before orderingAs with most e-commerce sale offers, the advertised effective price depends on eligibility. The Rs 68,740 figure includes the SBI credit card discount, meaning customers without an eligible card may have to pay the higher sale price of Rs 72,990.Exchange discounts are also dependent on the device being traded in and its condition. Customers should therefore verify the final valuation and all applicable terms at checkout rather than assuming that every listed discount will apply automatically.The iNvent offer also highlights the importance of checking stock before planning a purchase, as the base MacBook Neo configuration was reported to be unavailable there.MacBook Neo deal: what buyers need to knowThe MacBook Neo currently has an official Apple price of Rs 79,900 in India. During the Flipkart Freedom Sale, it is listed at Rs 72,990, while an eligible SBI credit card can bring the effective price to Rs 68,740. An exchange offer can potentially reduce the price further, depending on the device being traded in.For consumers who have been waiting for a discount, the current offer provides a meaningful reduction from Apple&apos;s official price. The deal also partly offsets the Rs 10,000 price increase that the MacBook Neo received after its launch.That said, buyers should compare the final checkout price, bank eligibility, exchange value and stock status before purchasing. With Independence Day sales running for a limited period, prices and availability can change quickly.

The United States has accused more than 40 countries, including India, of being part of what it calls a 'shadow network' helping China bypass steep American tariffs.

<nh-chunk-delimit /> The allegations were made in a report released by Peter Navarro, a senior trade adviser to President Donald Trump, PTI reported.The report, titled 'The Great Transshipment Scam', claims the practice became more common after 2018, when the US imposed Section 301 tariffs on Chinese goods over trade practices it considered unfair.According to the report, between $40 billion and $303 billion worth of goods may be rerouted through third countries every year, depending on how the trade is measured.<img alt=" " rich-src="https://assets-news-bcdn.dailyhunt.in/cmd/resize/#DH_EMB_IMG_REP#__DHQ_/fetchdata20/images/b8/8a/07/b88a07b4c0b09d23aa1c73783ccd98faf48a0ed8486cfbfc9dbd5bf373e81774.webp" src="https://assets-news-bcdn.dailyhunt.in/cmd/resize/#DH_EMB_IMG_REP#__DHQ_/fetchdata20/images/b8/8a/07/b88a07b4c0b09d23aa1c73783ccd98faf48a0ed8486cfbfc9dbd5bf373e81774.webp" width="100%" stopImageLoad="false" style="padding:0 0%; margin:4px 0px;" ></img>Which countries has the US named?The report lists more than 40 countries and regions, including Mexico, Canada, the European Union, India, Japan and South Korea. Navarro alleged that Chinese exporters use these countries to make Chinese goods appear to have a different origin before they reach the US market.The report said Chinese goods can be lightly processed, relabelled, repackaged or reinvoiced in third countries. Changes in shipping routes can also make it harder for US authorities to identify their original source.It claimed companies choose countries with lower labour costs, weaker customs oversight, free-trade zones or easier access to the US market.India's Pune-Gujarat-Chennai manufacturing belt was specifically mentioned in the report. It alleged that the region receives pumps and compressors that could otherwise affect supply chains in Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus in the US.How will the US detect such shipments?Washington plans to use an artificial intelligence system called 'Detective Border' to identify suspicious shipments, according to the report.The system is expected to analyse shipment records, routing history, product classifications, ownership links, production capacity and unusual trade patterns. It may also use computer vision.The US says the system will help Customs and Border Protection distinguish legitimate investment and nearshoring from illegal transshipment. It could also help authorities flag high-risk shipments and take action through duty collection, penalties and exclusion orders.

Sydney [Australia], August 14 (ANI): Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has warned that China's expanding influence across the Indo-Pacific, particularly the Indian Ocean region, needs to be addressed early, cautioning that delaying strategic attention could make it too late to respond effectively.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Speaking online at the Indo-Mediterranean Dialogues on Thursday, Morrison said Australia’s geography gives it a unique strategic perspective, with the country having major coastlines facing both the Indian and Pacific oceans.“We have the longest stretch of coastline on the Indian Ocean of any country in the world. But equally so, we have a similar coastline that borders the Pacific. And our economic future lies in both oceans,&quot; he said.Morrison said strategic tensions around the Taiwan Strait, South China Sea and East China Sea had influenced defence decisions taken during his tenure, including the formation of the AUKUS security partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.However, he cautioned against allowing the Pacific security agenda to overshadow developments in the Indian Ocean.“The Indian Ocean carries trade, energy, submarine cables, data and logistics between Europe, the Middle East and Asia,&quot; Morrison said, highlighting the region’s importance and its proximity to several critical maritime chokepoints.“If it is not paid attention to early, then it will be too late,&quot; he warned, referring to China’s growing presence and influence in the Indian Ocean.Morrison pointed to China’s engagement with Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Myanmar as examples of its expanding footprint in the region, where they have invested in major strategic projects which provide Beijing greater access to the region, furthering its influence.While acknowledging that much of China’s involvement has been economic, he said Australia’s experience in the South China Sea should serve as a warning.“Our experience in the South China Sea tells us that that’s where it starts. It’s not where it ends,&quot; Morrison said.He also highlighted India’s growing awareness of the strategic and economic challenge posed by China, particularly the imbalance in bilateral trade.“India is very awake to that threat,&quot; Morrison said, adding that New Delhi could have “a bigger beef with China on trade than the Americans do.&quot;Morrison, who was among the key political architects of AUKUS, said he did not expect the arrangement to formally expand beyond Australia, the UK and the US.“AUKUS will remain as it is, a tripartite arrangement,&quot; he said.He said the first pillar of the partnership remains focused on developing Australia’s nuclear-powered submarine capability and strengthening the collective submarine capacity of the three countries.Morrison also underlined the importance of the rotational presence of US submarines in Western Australia, saying it would increase the American military presence in the Indian Ocean rather than concentrating it solely in the Pacific.The second pillar of AUKUS, which focuses on advanced defence technologies, could provide greater opportunities for cooperation with other countries, he said.Morrison identified Japan and potentially South Korea, which have recently experienced some growing friction in their ties with China, as possible partners for project-specific cooperation.He also said cooperation with India was conceivable, although he noted that neither New Delhi nor Washington currently appeared to be actively seeking such an arrangement.“Could that happen with India? Possibly,&quot; he said. “But I don’t think India is asking nor is the US offering.&quot;Morrison said the broader objective of AUKUS was deterrence — maintaining a strategic balance that would allow countries across the Indo-Pacific to pursue economic development and prosperity without facing intimidation or coercion.The former Australian prime minister also stated that India’s growing strategic weight would be critical to maintaining a balance of power in the Indo-Pacific, particularly as China’s influence expands across both the Indian and Pacific oceans.He argued that the emerging regional order is becoming increasingly distributed, giving countries such as India a greater role in shaping the strategic environment.“India in particular&quot;, Morrison said, is taking on “a much more important role within geopolitics and certainly within the Indo-Pacific.&quot;He said India’s presence in the Quad gives the grouping a distinctive strategic character, while its growing economic, military and diplomatic influence could prove crucial to preventing any single power from dominating the region.Morrison’s remarks underline the increasingly central role of India in the evolving Indo-Pacific security architecture, as countries seek to strengthen partnerships and maintain strategic balance amid China’s expanding regional footprint.

New Delhi: The iPhone 17 Pro is available at a significantly lower effective price in India as retailers roll out Independence Day offers ahead of Apple's expected iPhone 18 Pro launch next month.

<nh-chunk-delimit /> Depending on the retailer and eligible bank card, buyers can currently save up to Rs 16,000 on Apple’s current-generation Pro model.The iPhone 17 Pro was launched in India at Rs 1,34,900. It is now available for less through offers from authorised seller iNvent and e-commerce platform Flipkart. The biggest advertised saving is available on Flipkart, where the phone’s effective price can fall to Rs 1,18,900 if the buyer meets all the applicable bank-card conditions.The timing of these discounts is significant. Apple is expected to unveil its next-generation iPhone 18 Pro series in September. With only weeks remaining before the anticipated launch, buyers now have to decide whether to take advantage of the current iPhone 17 Pro deals or wait for the newer model.iPhone 17 Pro gets Rs 13,000 discount on iNventApple-authorised online seller iNvent is currently running an Independence Day offer on the iPhone 17 Pro.The smartphone, which originally carried a starting price of Rs 1,34,900 in India, is listed at Rs 1,27,900 under the current offer. This represents a flat Rs 7,000 reduction from its launch price.There is an additional discount for customers using eligible credit cards. Buyers making an EMI transaction with qualifying Axis Bank, ICICI Bank or SBI credit cards can receive an instant cashback of Rs 6,000.If a buyer qualifies for both offers, the effective purchase price falls to Rs 1,21,900.That translates into a total saving of Rs 13,000 compared with the phone’s original launch price. Importantly, the Rs 7,000 price reduction is available even to buyers who do not qualify for the additional bank cashback, making the deal relevant to a wider group of customers.Flipkart offers up to Rs 16,000 offFlipkart is offering an even larger potential discount through its ongoing Freedom Day sale.The iPhone 17 Pro is listed at Rs 1,26,900, which is Rs 8,000 lower than its original India launch price. Customers can then potentially reduce the price further through eligible bank-card offers.An additional Rs 4,000 discount is available with an eligible SBI credit card. Customers holding qualifying Flipkart Axis Bank or Flipkart SBI credit cards can potentially receive an additional Rs 8,000 discount.If all the conditions are satisfied, the maximum advertised saving reaches Rs 16,000, bringing the effective price down to Rs 1,18,900.That makes Flipkart’s maximum-discount offer Rs 3,000 cheaper than the best effective price available through iNvent’s current promotion.However, customers should not assume that the Rs 1,18,900 price will apply automatically. The maximum saving depends on having the appropriate bank card and satisfying the conditions of the applicable sale and payment offer.iPhone 17 Pro deal comparedFor buyers trying to understand the difference between the two offers, the current pricing can be summarised as follows:<table style="border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid rgb(211, 211, 211);border-style:solid" border="1"><thead><tr><th>Offer</th><th>Listed price</th><th>Additional bank benefit</th><th>Maximum effective price</th><th>Maximum saving</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Original launch price</td><td>Rs 1,34,900</td><td>-</td><td>Rs 1,34,900</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>iNvent</td><td>Rs 1,27,900</td><td>Rs 6,000</td><td>Rs 1,21,900</td><td>Rs 13,000</td></tr><tr><td>Flipkart</td><td>Rs 1,26,900</td><td>Up to Rs 8,000</td><td>Rs 1,18,900</td><td>Rs 16,000</td></tr></tbody></table>The table shows why Flipkart currently has the more aggressive offer, although the final price depends on eligibility.Why the iPhone 17 Pro is getting cheaper nowThe discounts come at an important point in Apple’s annual iPhone cycle.The company is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro series in September. Although Apple has not officially announced the launch date, reports and leaks have pointed towards a September launch window.Retailers typically have an incentive to make existing models more attractive as a new generation approaches. Discounts can help clear inventory and encourage buyers who do not necessarily need the newest model.For consumers, this creates an interesting opportunity. The iPhone 17 Pro remains a premium smartphone with relatively recent hardware, but its price is beginning to move below its original launch level.The question is whether the savings are large enough to justify buying it just weeks before the next-generation model is expected.What could the iPhone 18 Pro bring?The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is expected to bring several hardware improvements, although these details remain based on reports and leaks until Apple officially confirms them.One of the most significant expected changes is Apple’s A20 Pro chipset. Reports suggest that the processor could move to a 2nm manufacturing process, potentially improving performance and power efficiency.The next Pro models are also rumoured to receive camera improvements. A variable-aperture main camera has been reported as one possible addition, potentially giving users greater control over light entering the lens and depth of field.Other reported changes include an improved display, a smaller Dynamic Island and a new camera sensor. Battery efficiency could also improve through a combination of newer chip technology and display changes.However, the extent of these improvements will only become clear once Apple officially unveils the device.The biggest question is the iPhone 18 Pro priceFor Indian buyers, the most important factor may not be the specifications but the price.There are reports that Apple could increase the India price of the iPhone 18 Pro by Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000. These figures are not official, so they should be treated as speculation rather than confirmed pricing.If the next-generation Pro model does become substantially more expensive, the discounted iPhone 17 Pro could become a particularly attractive alternative.For example, someone who can purchase the current model for around Rs 1,18,900 through a qualifying offer would be paying considerably less than the original Rs 1,34,900 launch price. A higher launch price for the iPhone 18 Pro could widen that gap further.On the other hand, buyers who are already prepared to spend flagship-level money may prefer waiting a few weeks. Once Apple announces the new model, they can compare the official price and specifications with the discounted iPhone 17 Pro before making a decision.Should you buy the iPhone 17 Pro now?The answer depends largely on how urgently you need a new phone.If you are upgrading from an older model such as an iPhone 14 or iPhone 15 and find a genuine iPhone 17 Pro deal close to Rs 1.2 lakh, the current discounts make the device considerably more attractive than it was at launch.The situation is different for buyers who are not in a hurry. With the iPhone 18 Pro expected to arrive soon, waiting could provide more options. You could either buy the newer model if its upgrades and pricing make sense, or potentially purchase the iPhone 17 Pro later if retailers offer further discounts after the new generation is announced.There is also the possibility of Apple’s long-rumoured foldable iPhone entering the market in 2026. Reports have suggested that such a device could cost more than Rs 2 lakh, putting it in a very different price category from the conventional Pro models.iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro: wait or buy?The current iPhone 17 Pro discounts make the older model tempting, particularly for buyers who can take full advantage of the bank offers. The Rs 1,18,900 effective price on Flipkart, if all eligibility conditions are met, represents a substantial reduction from the phone’s original Rs 1,34,900 price.However, the iPhone 18 Pro is close enough to launch that waiting remains the safer choice for anyone who does not need a phone immediately.Once Apple announces the new Pro models, buyers will have a clearer picture of their Indian prices, camera upgrades, processor performance and other features. At that point, the decision between the discounted iPhone 17 Pro and the newer iPhone 18 Pro should be much easier.For now, the iPhone 17 Pro is a better deal than it was at launch, but the approaching iPhone 18 Pro makes patience worthwhile for buyers who can wait.

Mysuru: Demanding the withdrawal of what they described as &quot;anti-farmer and anti-labour&quot; policies of the Central and State Governments, members of Samyukta Horata Karnataka and Janti Karmika Sanghatane staged a mega protest and launched a 'Jail Bharo Movement' in Mysuru on Monday.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Protesters march towards railway stationThe protest, which was likened to the Quit India Movement by participants, began at Nanjaraja Bahadur Choultry. The protesters marched through the city, raising slogans against corporate companies and the governments.The protesters proceeded towards Metropole Circle and attempted to picket the railway station. However, police had erected barricades near Dasappa Circle to prevent them from moving further.Tension briefly prevailed as some protesters attempted to cross the barricades. Police detained several agitators and took them away in police vehicles. The protest also affected vehicular movement in the area for some time.Farmers and workers press for demandsThe protesters alleged that policies being implemented by the Union and State Governments were adversely affecting farmers, workers, Dalits, women, youth and students. They also accused the governments of suppressing democratic rights.Their demands included an end to what they termed forcible land acquisition and corporate land grabbing, along with measures to protect agricultural markets.They sought the withdrawal of the new labour policy and implementation of revised minimum wages.

Abu Dhabi: Two vessels belonging to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were attacked while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday evening, local authorities and media said early Friday.

<nh-chunk-delimit />In a statement posted on social media, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the Iranian attacks, stressing the necessity for Iran to cease attacks. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) underscored that this attack constitutes a flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolution 2817, which affirmed the importance of freedom of navigation, and rejected the targeting of commercial vessels or the obstruction of international maritime routes.The Ministry emphasised that targeting commercial shipping and using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of economic coercion or blackmail represent acts of piracy by Iran&apos;s Revolutionary Guard Corps, and constitute a direct threat to the stability of the region, its peoples, and global energy security. “The UAE further stressed the need for Iran to halt these unprovoked attacks, ensure its full commitment to an immediate cessation of all hostilities, and the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz in order to safeguard regional security…” the Ministry added.The company confirmed that no injuries have been reported, and the situation has been brought under control, Xinhua reported, quoting the official Emirates News Agency. In a statement, ADNOC stressed the importance of protecting the safety and well-being of seafarers, while safeguarding freedom of navigation and maritime security. The report did not provide further details on the specific vessels involved or the extent of damage caused by the attacks. The state-owned ADNOC is one of the largest oil and gas producers in the world, serving as the primary driver of the UAE’s economy.

New Delhi: An Indian techie's newly registered chalosansad.in domain was suspended by the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) just three days after registration, triggering questions about how India's .IN domain registry can suspend websites and whether users are given adequate reasons or an opportunity to respond.

<nh-chunk-delimit />The domain was created by techie Sriram Vishawanathan ahead of the July 20 Chalo Sansad march organised by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP). The website was intended to serve as a public record of the 2026 NEET paper leak protests. However, the website went offline within days after NIXI placed the domain on serverHold.The incident has now drawn the attention of the Internet Freedom Foundation (IFF), which says it is representing Vishawanathan after he sent a legal notice to NIXI. According to IFF, the suspension was carried out without prior notice or a hearing, while the explanation provided by NIXI later changed from an alleged WHOIS problem to the domain containing a &quot;critical keyword&quot;.The lack of clarity around the decision has raised broader concerns because NIXI operates the .IN domain registry, meaning thousands of Indian websites ultimately depend on its policies and decisions.Why was chalosansad.in suspended?According to the account documented by the IFF and reported by India Today Tech, NIXI placed the domain on serverHold on July 22, 2026, shortly after it was registered.In practical terms, serverHold prevents the domain from functioning normally, leaving the associated website inaccessible. Vishawanathan reportedly discovered the suspension only when he could no longer access the website.Initially, his GoDaddy control panel reportedly displayed the reason as &quot;Suspended - Invalid WHOIS&quot;. The message suggested that the domain’s contact information did not satisfy the requirements for a .IN domain.Vishawanathan then contacted GoDaddy support. He was reportedly told that the domain could be restored after his Aadhaar details were matched. He updated the information and also contacted NIXI seeking clarification about whether a pre-suspension notice had been issued and what rule or legal provision had been used.The domain, however, remained suspended.NIXI later cited a &quot;critical keyword&quot;NIXI’s subsequent response introduced a different explanation.In an email reportedly received by Vishawanathan on July 24, the registry said the domain contained a &quot;critical keyword&quot; and requested additional information about why the name had been selected and how the website would be used.The email reportedly did not identify the alleged keyword. It also did not cite a specific law, policy or provision that had been breached, nor did it mention a complaint, court order or government direction.Vishawanathan sent another email on July 28 seeking clarification but reportedly received no response. Calls to NIXI’s published telephone number also went unanswered, according to the report.The situation is particularly notable because the website itself reportedly had no advertising, did not collect user data and did not seek donations or funds. It also carried a disclaimer stating that it was not affiliated with the government or any protest organisation.What does NIXI’s domain policy say?NIXI, or the National Internet Exchange of India, is a not-for-profit organisation authorised by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to operate India’s .IN country-code domain registry.When a person registers a .IN domain through a registrar such as GoDaddy, the registrar handles the customer-facing registration process, but the underlying .IN registry is operated by NIXI.NIXI does have rules allowing domains to be suspended in certain circumstances. It also maintains a list of reserved or restricted names.However, the IFF says &quot;chalosansad&quot; was not listed as a reserved or restricted name and had not been notified as one. The organisation also argues that none of the other conditions available to NIXI for placing a domain on hold were invoked in this case.That distinction is central to the dispute.The question is not simply whether a registry has the power to suspend a domain. Rather, it is whether that power was exercised according to clearly defined rules and whether the domain owner was given sufficient information to understand the reason for the action.Internet Freedom Foundation raises censorship concernsThe IFF has criticised the suspension as a potential example of excessive control over internet infrastructure.According to the organisation, a domain suspension without a clear legal basis, judicial process or reasoned decision could effectively become a form of censorship.The organisation has also questioned the reported use of Aadhaar-related verification during the dispute.The issue matters beyond the individual website because .IN domains are widely used by Indian businesses, organisations, individuals and public-interest projects. If a domain can be suspended without a transparent explanation, website operators may have limited ability to challenge the decision or understand what they need to change.At the same time, it is important to distinguish the allegations and concerns raised by IFF from established findings. NIXI’s complete reasoning has not been publicly clarified in the report, and India Today Tech said it had contacted NIXI for comment. The story noted that it would be updated if the organisation responded.The website remains inaccessibleAt the time of the report, chalosansad.in remained inaccessible.The website’s mirror, chalosansad.com, continued to operate because it uses the .COM extension and a global registrar rather than the .IN registry.The difference demonstrates the practical consequence of the dispute: the content itself was not necessarily removed from the internet, but access to the .IN domain was disrupted.For website owners, domain registration is a crucial part of maintaining an online presence. A suspension can make an otherwise functioning website difficult or impossible for users to reach, even if the underlying hosting and content remain intact.Why the case matters for .IN domain usersThe controversy comes down to transparency and due process.NIXI has an important role in maintaining India’s country-code domain infrastructure, and some level of enforcement is necessary to prevent abuse, fraud and other prohibited activities. However, domain owners also need predictable rules so that they can understand what is permitted and challenge decisions when they believe a domain has been incorrectly suspended.In this case, the reported change in the explanation-from &quot;Invalid WHOIS&quot; to a &quot;critical keyword&quot;-has made the issue more difficult to understand. The absence of a publicly identified keyword or cited rule has further fuelled questions from digital-rights advocates.The case could therefore become an important test of how transparent India’s domain-registry processes are and what safeguards are available to domain owners when a .IN address is suspended.What happens next?The immediate issue is whether NIXI will provide a clearer explanation for the suspension or restore the domain.Vishawanathan has reportedly pursued the matter through a legal notice, while the IFF is challenging the basis for the action. NIXI’s response will be significant in establishing whether the suspension was connected to a specific violation, registration requirement or other regulatory concern.Until the registry provides a fuller explanation, the controversy remains centred on unanswered questions rather than a definitive finding of wrongdoing.The chalosansad.in episode nevertheless highlights an important issue for India’s digital ecosystem: operating a website is not only about hosting content. The domain name itself is controlled through a registry framework, and the transparency of that framework can directly affect whether an online platform remains accessible.

New Delhi:China is testing a brain-computer interface that could be implanted through blood vessels in the neck without requiring doctors to open the skull.

<nh-chunk-delimit /> The experimental approach, being developed by Shanghai-based StairMed Technology with researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, could make brain implants significantly less invasive if it proves safe and effective in human trials.The technology is part of China’s growing push into brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), a field that aims to translate electrical signals generated by the brain into commands that computers and other electronic devices can understand. Such systems could eventually help people with severe paralysis communicate, control digital devices and regain some independence.However, despite the attention surrounding the reported 10-minute implantation time, the technology remains experimental. StairMed has so far tested its procedure on sheep and has not yet begun human trials. A separate vascular BCI programme in China has already reached human testing, highlighting the country’s broader efforts to develop less invasive neural technologies.How China’s skull-free brain implant worksTraditional brain-computer interfaces generally require invasive surgery. Doctors may need to open the skull and position electrodes directly on or inside the brain to capture neural activity.StairMed’s approach attempts to avoid that step by using the body’s existing network of blood vessels as a pathway. According to the report, doctors would insert the device through a blood vessel in the neck and guide it through the vascular system towards a targeted region of the brain. The implant can then be positioned outside the blood vessel wall.The concept could represent a major change in how BCIs are implanted. Instead of performing open brain surgery, physicians could potentially access the brain through a vascular route, reducing the physical trauma associated with conventional implantation.The approach is not entirely new. US-based Synchron has also developed a BCI that is delivered through the jugular vein, with implants carried out in patients in Australia and the United States. This means researchers in several countries are exploring whether blood vessels can provide a safer and less invasive route for brain-computer interfaces.10-minute procedure is still an experimental targetOne of the most striking claims surrounding the Chinese technology is the possibility of positioning the implant in about 10 minutes.Duan Wanru, chief physician at Xuanwu Hospital under Beijing’s Capital Medical University, said a surgeon with four or five years of experience could position the device in as little as 10 minutes. He also said researchers had not encountered major safety concerns in their work and that the implant could potentially be removed within a month of the procedure.But the reported time should not be interpreted as evidence that a 10-minute BCI procedure is already available to patients.StairMed’s own system has so far only been tested on sheep. The company has not yet started human trials. As a result, researchers still need to establish whether the procedure can be performed reliably in people and whether the implant can remain stable while producing useful brain signals over longer periods.Animal studies can provide important information about the safety and feasibility of a medical technology, but they cannot establish how an implant will behave in humans. Human clinical trials will therefore be an important next step before the technology can be considered for wider medical use.China is expanding its BCI programmeThe new technology is part of a broader effort by China to build a domestic brain-computer interface industry.China’s Nankai University completed what it described as the world’s first human trial of a BCI implanted through blood vessels last year. Separately, researchers at Xuanwu Hospital have begun a human clinical study involving a vascular approach using the brain’s venous sinuses.Beijing has also set an ambition of developing two or three globally competitive companies in the BCI sector by 2030. The government and private investors are consequently putting increasing resources into neurotechnology, an area that combines medicine, artificial intelligence, electronics and neuroscience.StairMed itself has reportedly attracted more than 1.1 billion yuan in funding over the past year, with Alibaba and Tencent among its investors. The company has already demonstrated one potential application of its technology through a patient using a surgically implanted BCI to interact with Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com and reportedly earn about 1,800 yuan a month.What could brain-computer interfaces do?The long-term promise of BCIs extends well beyond simply connecting a computer to the brain.The basic idea is to detect electrical activity generated by the brain and translate those signals into commands. For someone who cannot move their limbs, for example, a BCI could potentially allow them to select letters, control a computer cursor or operate other connected devices using neural signals.Such applications could be particularly important for people living with severe paralysis. Instead of relying entirely on physical movements to communicate or interact with technology, patients could potentially use brain activity to issue commands.The technology could also eventually have applications in robotics, assistive devices and other forms of human-machine interaction. However, these possibilities remain dependent on researchers solving significant technical and medical challenges.Safety and long-term reliability remain key questionsThe biggest question surrounding vascular BCIs is not simply whether doctors can place them quickly, but whether they can work safely and reliably over extended periods.A device travelling through blood vessels must be positioned accurately and remain stable. Researchers also need to ensure that it can record meaningful neural signals without creating serious complications.There are additional questions about how consistently the system will work from one patient to another and whether signal quality will remain useful as time passes.India Today reported that animal testing alone cannot establish whether the technology will perform effectively in humans. Human trials will have to determine whether doctors can accurately position the device, keep it stable and capture useful brain signals without causing serious complications.This is particularly important because the brain is an exceptionally complex organ, while blood vessels are delicate structures where complications can have serious consequences.A less invasive future for brain implants?China’s experiment highlights how quickly BCI technology is moving beyond the traditional model of opening the skull to implant electrodes.A vascular approach could eventually make brain-computer interfaces easier to implant and potentially accessible to a larger number of patients. If clinical trials demonstrate that the devices can be positioned safely, remain stable and provide reliable neural signals, the technology could become an important alternative to conventional surgical BCIs.For now, however, the 10-minute figure should be viewed as an experimental milestone rather than a ready-to-use medical procedure. StairMed’s system has yet to enter human trials, and much more testing will be required before its safety and effectiveness can be established.The development nevertheless represents another significant step in the race to create less invasive brain-computer interfaces, with China increasingly positioning itself as a major player in the emerging neurotechnology industry.

Washington: Now the issue of transshipment has also become heated amid the ongoing tussle over trade between America and China. The Trump administration has accused more than 40 countries including India, of Chinese goods reaching the American market through them and thus trying to avoid the American tariffs imposed on them.

<nh-chunk-delimit />America&apos;s chief trade advisor Peter Navarro has indicated strictness in this matter. He said that the US administration will now use artificial intelligence to keep an eye on such activities.What did America see wrong in transshipment?According to American reports, after American tariffs were increased on goods coming from China in 2018, some companies adopted the method of sending goods through third countries. The allegation is that Chinese goods were transported to America through another country, so that the high duty imposed on them as a Chinese product could be avoided.The report claims that business networks of many countries including Mexico, Canada, European Union, India, Japan and South Korea were used for such activities. The US says that in some cases the goods were subjected to minor processing, re-packaging, re-labeling or changes in documents.What was said in the report about India?Peter Navarro&apos;s report also mentions India&apos;s Pune-Gujarat-Chennai industrial region. According to the American claim, pumps and compressors made in China are reaching the American market through this industrial network.However, the report also admits that it is not easy to determine the exact figure of goods reaching the American market through transshipment. According to different estimates, its annual value ranges from about 40 billion dollars to 303 billion dollars.How will AI detect suspicious items?America is now preparing to use an AI system named &apos;Detective Border&apos; to keep an eye on this entire network. Its job will be to combine different trade data to identify such shipments in which something seems wrong.The system will analyse a number of indicators such as shipment data, routes of goods, product categories, relationships between companies and their production capacity. Through this, American officials will try to find out whether the actual source of any item is the same as mentioned on paper or not.What action will be taken against suspicious companies?The US administration says that if sufficient evidence is found against a company for adopting unfair practices to avoid tariffs, then customs action can be taken against it. Apart from this, additional fees, fines or other sanctions may also be imposed.In his report &apos;The Great Transshipment Scam&apos;, Navarro has described transshipment as a major challenge for American trade policy. He says that just increasing the tariff is not enough, but it is also necessary to check the actual country of origin of the goods and ensure that the rules are followed.Why has American pressure on China already increased?There has been tension between America and China regarding trade for a long time. In 2018, America had imposed tariffs on many Chinese products under Section 301. After this, the tension in trade relations between the two countries increased further.Now the US administration alleges that trade rules are being taken advantage of by sending goods coming from countries with high tariffs through third countries. Washington is now insisting on closing similar routes.Can pressure increase on India also?With India&apos;s name appearing in the report, this issue has become important for New Delhi also. However, the allegations made in the US report do not mean that every sugar-related trade from India is part of tariff evasion. The real question will be which companies and which shipments the US authorities consider suspicious and what action they take against them.At present, America has clearly indicated that it is going to increase strictness on efforts to avoid tariffs through transshipment and for this it will also use AI based surveillance as its weapon.

The United States lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper surveillance and strike drones during the war with Iran, The Washington Post reported, quoting unnamed officials.

<nh-chunk-delimit /> According to the Post, the number of drones lost constitutes roughly 25 per cent of the US military fleet, potentially costing the taxpayer more than USD 1.3 billion. A US official, quoted by the newspaper, said that not all Reapers were shot down, some crashed due to a failure of the communication link. The Reaper drones were inducted by the US in 2007 and have been a prominent asset for America's operations in the Middle East and other conflict zones like Afghanistan and Iraq. There were approximately 185 Reapers in the US military fleet - 165 in the Air Force and 20 in the Marine Corps - before the conflict began, according to public budget data and the services. In May, Lt Gen David Tabor, a senior Air Force officer at the Pentagon, told the Senate that the number of remaining drones had fallen to about 135. At the time, Tabor told lawmakers he was &quot;concerned&quot; about the losses and that the Air Force was exploring how to quickly replenish its fleet. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has <a href="https://m.dailyhunt.in/news/india/english/timesnow+english-epaper-tnneng/trump+imposes+up+to+100+tariffs+on+drone+imports+amid+iran+war-newsid-n723212833" >imposed tariffs of up to 100%</a> on imports of drones and their components, saying the United States is too reliant on foreign sources for unmanned aircraft systems. A proclamation signed by Trump imposes a 100% tariff on drones of certain sizes or those with capabilities considered particularly sensitive for national security. Smaller drones without national security capabilities will face a 25% tariff. The White House said the tariffs will take effect for many products in 21 days. Drones and components from the European Union, Japan, Liechtenstein, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan will face a 15% tariff, while imports from the United Kingdom will be subject to a 10% tariff. Products covered by existing trade agreements will be taxed according to those agreements. In 2024, India signed an agreement with the US to procure 31 MQ-9 Reaper drones for its armed forces, with deliveries expected to begin in 2029.Read more news like this on <a href="https://www.timesnownews.com/" style="text-decoration:none; color:#036C8F;" >www.timesnownews.com</a>

U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memo on Wednesday that the White House said was aimed at empowering federal law enforcement ​to use cyber tools against transnational criminal organizations that operate in foreign ‌jurisdictions to attack Americans.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Trump signed the national security presidential memorandum directing his administration to &quot;leverage the capability and innovation of the private sector to help conduct these cyber operations under the direction, ​control, and authority of the U.S. Government,&quot; the White House said.The White House, ​in a fact sheet about the memo, cited ransomware attacks, financial ⁠frauds and other crimes run by foreign-based criminal organizations, referred to in the ​memo as &quot;transnational criminal organizations.&quot; The memo creates a framework that encourages private sector companies to ​enter into agreements with other private entities, as well as federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies to gather threat information on transnational criminal organizations and propose cyber operations to address those ​threats, the White House added.The memo directs the Department of Homeland Security, through ​the Homeland Security Task Force&apos;s National Coordination Center, to create a program &quot;to conduct specific cyber operations ‌that ⁠disrupt foreign TCOs&quot; that will be overseen by DHS and the Department of Justice.Under the supervision of the federal government, participating companies, once vetted, will conduct &quot;cyber surveillance operations&quot; and &quot;cyber effects operations&quot; against specified targets, according to the memo. &quot;Cyber effects includes the potential ​manipulation, disruption, denial, degradation, ​or destruction of ⁠information systems, networks, physical or virtual infrastructure controlled by information systems, or information resident thereon,&quot; according to the memo.Participating companies will ​have to maintain a bond or escrow of at least $1 ​million, according ⁠to the memo.The idea of private sector firms participating in cyber operations against criminal and other targets is not new, and has been controversial in the past, for fears of ⁠escalation, ​inadvertent consequences, and inter-agency coordination issues.DHS and the ​White House did not immediately respond to requests for additional details about the program.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, the youngest person to hold the role, is set to leave the Donald Trump administration at the end of the month.

<nh-chunk-delimit /> The 28-year-old, who earned a reputation for acid putdowns of journalists, will leave her role to spend more time with her young family, President Donald Trump has announced, adding that she would remain a senior advisor.&quot;Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors and an influential voice within the Republican Party,&quot; Trump said on social media.The president called Leavitt a &quot;real leader&quot; and one of his &quot;most trusted aides,&quot; saying she would remain an influential voice within the Republican Party ahead of the midterm elections. He said he &quot;totally&quot; understands her decision and respects it.Leavitt gave birth to her second child -- a girl named Viviana -- in May, just days after delaying her maternity leave following an alleged assassination attempt on Trump when a gunman tried to storm the White House correspondents' dinner. Her departure, just weeks after returning to the job, comes as Trump faces steadily sinking poll numbers and the Republican Party risks defeat in the November midterm congressional elections.Leavitt was not a policymaker. But the Trump veteran who served in his press office during his first term, emerged as one of the administration's most visible public messengers during Trump's second term at the White House on all issues, including those that mattered directly to India and Indians, including tariffs, Russian oil, immigration, and the India-Pakistan conflict.On US TariffsIn February 2026, after the Trump administration reduced its tariff on Indian goods from 25 per cent to 18 per cent as part of a new trade arrangement, Leavitt applauded the move, saying New Delhi has committed to &quot;no longer&quot; purchasing Russian oil, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi also agreeing on investments of $500 billion across key American sectors and energy, transportation and agriculture.She claimed that India has committed to ending its purchases of Russian oil and will instead source crude oil from the United States, potentially from Venezuela under the newly announced trade agreement between the two countries. &quot;The President struck another great trade deal with India. He spoke with Prime Minister Modi directly. They share a very good relationship. India is committed to not only no longer purchasing Russian oil, but buying oil from the United States, also perhaps from Venezuela too, which we know will now have a direct benefit on the United States and the American people,&quot; she told reporters at the time.On India-Pak Conflict and Op Sindoor Leavitt also emerged as one of the most vocal voices peddling the United States' claim that Trump brokered a peace deal between India and Pakistan during the May 2025 conflict. In July 2025, she said that Trump should be awarded the &quot;Nobel peace prize&quot; for ending several conflicts, including between New Delhi and Islamabad, ever since he came to power.Since May 10, Trump, as well as his administration, has repeated the claim several times on various occasions that the U.S. President &quot;helped settle&quot; the tensions between India and Pakistan and that he told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America will do a &quot;lot of trade&quot; with them if they stop the conflict.New Delhi, however, has maintained that it was clearly conveyed to Washington that Islamabad wanted the ceasefire and emphasised that no mediation would be tolerated. The US claim contradicts India's narrative on the ceasefire agreement.

More than two decades after India launched its Chandrayaan programme and achieved major milestones in lunar exploration, Pakistan is now preparing to send its first lunar rover, Jinnah-1, to the Moon in 2029 with China's support.

<nh-chunk-delimit /> The rover will travel aboard China's Chang'e-8 mission and conduct scientific research near the lunar south pole, a region of significant interest due to its challenging terrain and potential water ice reserves, according to Dawn.At a ceremony held in Islamabad, Pakistan's Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) said the name Jinnah-1 was selected from 4,000 proposals received through a countrywide competition. Seven participants had proposed the name &quot;Jinnah-1&quot;, and the winner was selected through a lucky draw, according to a Suparco statement.Tayyab Karim, a 17-year-old from Bahawalnagar, was declared the winner for proposing the name, Suparco said. The name pays tribute to Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and symbolises Pakistan's resolve, progress and new space horizons, according to the Suparco chairman.Jinnah-1 will study the geology of the lunar surface and conduct key experiments related to future lunar research. Its mission will focus on scientific research at the Moon's south pole, where the challenging terrain is expected to provide opportunities for important discoveries.Suparco announced its collaboration with China's Chang'e-8 mission in 2024, describing the agreement as a major milestone for Pakistan's space programme, reported Gulf News.The planned 2029 mission will mark Pakistan's participation in lunar scientific research through the Jinnah-1 rover.

Pakistan Enters Moon Race: "Jinnah-1" Rover Aims For South Pole Mission

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has defended conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, which as spent a record-breaking number of days at sea during a period of more than eight months with only brief stops at ports.

<nh-chunk-delimit />Hegseth called recent reporting in two military-focused outlets in the US, the Navy Times and the Stars and Stripes, &quot;completely misrepresented.&quot;The reports had quoted relatives of sailors recounting stories of poor conditions on board and even a thwarted attempt by a crewmember to throw themselves overboard.<img alt=" " rich-src="https://assets-news-bcdn.dailyhunt.in/cmd/resize/#DH_EMB_IMG_REP#__DHQ_/fetchdata20/images/49/d5/fa/49d5fa8f70affabae76bd3cd1bcc049993d449ed233c5ccce0d1e8a547a39f69.webp" src="https://assets-news-bcdn.dailyhunt.in/cmd/resize/#DH_EMB_IMG_REP#__DHQ_/fetchdata20/images/49/d5/fa/49d5fa8f70affabae76bd3cd1bcc049993d449ed233c5ccce0d1e8a547a39f69.webp" width="100%" stopImageLoad="false" style="padding:0 0%; margin:4px 0px;" ></img>What did Hegseth say about conditions?The 5,000-person aircraft carrier left San Diego in November for what was scheduled to be a Pacific deployment.It was subsequently rerouted to the Middle East ready for what the Trump White House called Operation Epic Fury, and has been in the Persian Gulf or the wider region since January amid the war with Iran.&quot;We make sure every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment,&quot; Hegseth told reporters during a visit to Panama on Thursday. &quot;Some deployments are longer than others, and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody. What they do in those high seas in those austere conditions with less port calls it&apos;s incredible.&quot;Longer deployments at sea, particularly in wartime with higher stress and danger levels and fewer chances for rest and recreation, have always been a challenge for the US Navy.<img alt=" " rich-src="https://assets-news-bcdn.dailyhunt.in/cmd/resize/#DH_EMB_IMG_REP#__DHQ_/fetchdata20/images/2f/21/41/2f214137996006604fdfd9519c65b5de1a1f4d2e3891fb15e8a1df909b2d7f4e.webp" src="https://assets-news-bcdn.dailyhunt.in/cmd/resize/#DH_EMB_IMG_REP#__DHQ_/fetchdata20/images/2f/21/41/2f214137996006604fdfd9519c65b5de1a1f4d2e3891fb15e8a1df909b2d7f4e.webp" width="100%" stopImageLoad="false" style="padding:0 0%; margin:4px 0px;" ></img>Senate calls for inspection visitA day earlier, Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego said he was calling for an official oversight visit to the USS Abraham Lincoln by a bipartisal Senate Delegation to &quot;investigate the alarming conditions.&quot;&quot;Unlike Donald Trump, I&apos;ve seen active duty,&quot; Gallego said. &quot;They way he&apos;s treating our service members as he carries out this illegal war is not just disgusting; it&apos;s dangerous. These sailors are owed a sense of when they will go home.&quot; <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-dnt="true" data-theme="light">
 I’m seeking an official oversight visit with a bipartisan Senate Delegation to the USS Lincoln to investigate the reported alarming conditions. Unlike Donald Trump, I've seen active duty. The way he's treating our service members as he carries out this illegal war is not just…— Senator Ruben Gallego (@SenRubenGallego) 
 <a href="https://x.com/SenRubenGallego/status/2087700962387337429?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 13, 2026</a>
</blockquote> Gallego repeated the call on Thursday, saying Congress &quot;needs to do its job and hold this administration accountable.&quot;Senator Richard Blumenthal also called for the Navy to account for conditions aboard the aircraft carrier, noting &quot;widespread reports of shortages of basic supplies, water contamination, plumbing issues, deteriorating mental health, deck safety concerns&quot; and other problems aboard the Lincoln.What did the military media outlets report?The Navy Times and Stars and Stripes have had their eye on the USS Abraham Lincoln&apos;s record-setting deployment for months but both revisited the issue in depth this week. This followed a direct appeal late last week by family members to Acting Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao and other senior officials in town hall meetings.The deployment has included 40 days of continuous combat operations in the US Fifth Fleet area of operations and 250 consecutive days at sea, including a record-breaking number of days without even a port stop, restocking supplies at sea and by air as best as the crew could.&quot;We already had an instance where watch standres had to stop someone from jumping,&quot; Stars and Stripes quoted one sailor as saying.It also noted various supply and service issues affecting morale, like food rationing, water shortages, and a stretch of more than a week when crew could not do laundry.It said that many of these issues had since improved, as had mail delivery services but nevertheless reported a situation of deteriorating morale where, as one sailor put it, &quot;All we want is a date home.&quot;The Lincoln made a brief port call in Oman in early July. Stars and Stripes reported, that allowed it to stock up on valuable producted like fresh fruit and vegetables, but sailors were only permitted to disembark into a secure compound within the port. The ship had also briefly docked in Guam in December, but again with limited shore leave. In the interim it spent the longest period at sea without ever docking in US military histrory.The Reuters news agency on Thursday cited a US official, who it said was speaking on condition of anonymity, as saying that another aircraft carrier the USS George Washington was headed to the region to relieve the Lincoln. The Wall Street Journal in the US carried similar reports on Thursday. The ship departed Vietnam earlier this week.Hegseth, Trump both indicate much longer deployment conceivableWhen asked about what the US calls its &quot;blockade&quot; of Iran&apos;s ports with the Lincoln a crucial command and air-superiority component in the operation Hegseth said that the US could continue to enforce it for as long as it wished.&quot;Indefinitely the United States Navy can maintain a blockade like that because we&apos;ll rotate ships in and out, as we have, and we&apos;ll continue to,&quot; he said.President Donald Trump had claimed on Wednesday that the navy had &quot;total control&quot; of the Strait of Hormuz and speculated that he might try to permanently police it.&quot;The USA has total control over the Strait of Hormuz. I THINK WE WILL KEEP IT!&quot; Trump wrote online. &quot;Our Naval Blockade is being called, by everyone, &apos;A WALL OF STEEL,&apos; and there is nothing Iran can do about it.&quot;The head of Iran&apos;s Basij paramilitary unit, Hossein Taeb, on Thursday disputed Trump&apos;s assesment saying the Strait is &quot;under Iran&apos;s control and management.&quot;Commercial shipping whether bound for Iranian ports or for Gulf states, or trying to sail out of the Gulf has been drastically reduced in volume throughout the conflict, with risks to commercial crews of all stripes from both sides complicating and often halting journeys.Edited by: Louis OelofseIf you rely on our team for trusted reporting, please take a moment to select us as your Preferred Source on Google, so you&apos;ll always see our verified news first.
