Saudi Arabia suspends oil exports through Red Sea lane after Houthi attack

DUBAI (Reuters) - Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia said on Thursday it was “temporarily halting” all oil shipments through the strategic Red Sea shipping lane of Bab al-Mandeb after an attack on two big oil tankers by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement.

Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said in a statement sent by his ministry that the Houthis had attacked two Saudi Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) in the Red Sea on Wednesday morning, one of which sustained minimal damage.

“Saudi Arabia is temporarily halting all oil shipments through Bab al-Mandeb Strait immediately until the situation becomes clearer and the maritime transit through Bab al-Mandeb is safe,” the statement said.




I guess Iran vs US Navy in the strait, starts like this. :/

Iran's special forces chief warns Trump: "If you begin the war, we will end it" - Tasnim

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-usa-soleimani/irans-special-forces-chief-warns-trump-if-you-begin-the-war-we-will-end-it-tasnim-idUSKBN1KG106

Quote
The comments by Major-General Qassem Soleimani, who heads the Quds Force of the Guards, were the latest salvo in a war of words between the two countries.

“As a soldier, it is my duty to respond to your threats ... If you wants to use the language of threat ... talk to me, not to the president (Hassan Rouhani). It is not in our president’s dignity to respond to you,” Soleimani was quoted as saying by Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency.

Soleimani’s message was in essence a warning to the United states to stop threatening Iran with war or risk exposing itself to an Iranian response.

“We are near you, where you can’t even imagine... Come. We are ready ... If you begin the war, we will end the war,” Tasnim news agency quoted Soleimani as saying. “You know that this war will destroy all that you possess.”


Quote
Israel’s Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz said the fiery rhetoric of Soleimani was only “empty talk” because Iran was aware of “the strength and might of the U.S. military”.




I guess everyone doesn't agree on things, in Iran. :)

The u.s clown exposed;

In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2011

Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2012

I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2013

Which idiot would support recents Trump tweets now?

Muslim survivors of Indian massacre shaken by citizenship test

With an eye on the 2019 national election, the BJP’s Hindu-first campaign has become more strident, critics say, playing to its core base with divisive programs such as the citizenship test in Assam, already a tinderbox of ethnic and religious tensions.

Elsewhere in the country’s northern heartland, lynchings of Muslim cattle traders have risen under Modi in the country where many Hindus consider cows sacred, further deepening social divides.

The BJP has denied the lynchings have any connection with it being in power. Modi has at least twice publicly spoken out against cow vigilantes.




I don't think it's about religion. I think it's about people that don't want just anyone walking in and claiming citizen rights, voter rights etc.
I really wonder why this seems to be a thing with so many muslims in so many places around the world. It's almost like someone is encouraging them to do it. Invasion indeed.

was about to say.

but despite ghot's obvious failure, india is yet another piece of evidence for the impossibility of muslims to peacefully coexist with other religions/cultures inside the same country. as you said: muslims and hindus have been living together on the territory of what today is india for centuries, and yet there is still no sense of unity, there is still no successful model for getting along with each other, the situation is nonetheless getting worse from year to year.

all over the world, there are only three options for living with muslims:

1: a marked muslim majority, sharia rule, minorities, women and LGBTQ* folks are oppressed.
2.: a small muslim minority which has no societal power and does its own thing without causing a lot of trouble.
3: an either large or politically powerful muslim minority, lots of trouble, lots of friction, eventually leading to either scenario 1 or 2. calm/peace is all but impossible in this scenario.

Look like indians hindus massacred some mulsims on a sample of 172 millions/1.3 billions , then "peace is impossible"
Not to mention we are still in the same living conditions than 1000 years ago, and that situation (religiously, culturally, economically) is the same than india anywhere on the planet.

I dont like islam either anyway, but im still blaming this kind of quick & easy thinking
