US military seized Iranian-flagged container ship, Trump says | US military

0

The US military took custody of an Iranian-flagged container ship that attempted to get past an American blockade near the strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump announced on Sunday.

In a social media post, Trump said that an “Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA” tried to get past the US naval blockade, “and it did not go well for them”.

Trump said that a US navy guided missile destroyer had warned the Touska to stop in the Gulf of Oman, but the vessel did not. “[Our] Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engine room,” Trump said, adding that US marines now have custody of the vessel.

“The TOUSKA is under U.S. Treasury Sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity,” Trump added. The ship is on the treasury department’s list of sanctioned vessels.

Video posted on social media by the US defense department later showed the interception of the ship by US forces. The video includes audio of the container ship’s crew being warned that they will be fired on if they refused to stop. “Vacate your engine room,” a US sailor can be heard saying. “We’re prepared to subject you to disabling fire.”

The video then shows the USS Spruance firing on the Touska.

The cargo ship was stopped near Iran’s border with Pakistan, and is more than 900ft long, according to the tracking website Marine Traffic.

The Iranian government has not yet commented.

The latest military action by the US raises new questions about the possibility of extending a ceasefire between the two warring nations.

Trump had previously announced that US officials would be headed to Pakistan on Monday for more talks with Iranian leaders about the ongoing US-Israel war on Iran.

Touska had previously left Port Klang, a major port in Malaysia, when the vessel then attempted to move past the US blockade, according to tracking information from TankerTrackers.com.

Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar entered their WrestleMania 42 match on Sunday night in what was poised to be a true “showcase of the immortals,” even as the former was making his debut at the event.

Femi answered Lesnar’s open challenge to face him in Las Vegas at Allegiant Stadium a few weeks ago. Since then, the two have had multiple heated skirmishes to build up what pro wrestling fans expected to be an absolute slobber knocker.

“Oba” chants filled the air as “The Ruler” made his way down to the ring. Fans haven’t seen a specimen like him since Lesnar made his WWE debut in 2002. Lesnar received a big cheer from the crowd as well as he was making his first WrestleMania appearance since WrestleMania 39 where he dispatched Omos.

“The Beast Incarnate” locked eyes with Femi as he entered the ring and didn’t take them off him.

The two started out locking horns, trying to see who can get the advantage first. It was Femi as he clotheslined Lesnar and forced him outside of the ring to regroup.

Lesnar eventually pulled Femi outside of the ring and did some damage to his back. Lesnar got Femi back into the ring and hit him with three German suplexes. Lesnar appeared to have the upper hand.

As Femi looked to gain some momentum in the match, his running uppercuts turned into an F5 from Lesnar. But Lesnar didn’t cover. Instead, Femi was able to get back up and chokeslam Lesnar.

The move appeared to have startled Lesnar just enough. Femi then hit the Fall from Grace and pinned Lesnar for the unbelievable win.

Lesnar was still in the ring and Femi got the applause.

He got back into a sitting position and took off his gloves and boots, signaling that he was retiring from professional wrestling.

“Thank you, Brock!” chants were heard throughout the arena.

Lesnar was in tears as he hugged Paul Heyman, waving to the fans who packed the house.

Prompt injection proves AI models are gullible like humans • The Register

0

kettle It’s a week of the year, which means there’s been the discovery of yet another prompt injection attack that will force supposedly well-guarded AI bots to spill secrets by asking the right way. 

When you think about it, humans and LLMs share a similar problem: They’re both liable to hand over sensitive information when a crafty enough person asks the right – or wrong – way. We call it phishing when it targets humans, and prompt injection is pretty much the same thing for bots. It’s basically embedding or hiding malicious instructions inside a document or file that you tell the AI to ingest and analyze; the AI, instead of treating them like part of the content, executes them.

There’s a lot to discuss about prompt injection, and how it’s basically an unsolvable problem of the AI age akin to phishing, and we cover it all on this week’s episode of The Kettle, with host Brandon Vigliarolo joined this week by cybersecurity editor Jessica Lyons and senior reporter Tom Claburn.

Iranian American woman arrested in Los Angeles for alleged arms trafficking | Los Angeles

0

A California woman was arrested at Los Angeles international airport after allegedly trafficking weapons on behalf of the Iranian government to contacts in Africa, including Sudan.

Shamim Mafi, 44, of Woodland Hills was detained on Saturday night by federal agents, according to the top federal prosecutor in Los Angeles.

Mafi was charged on the suspicion of “brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition manufactured”, wrote Bill Essayli, first assistant US attorney for the central district of California, in a post on X.

Mafi, an Iranian national, has been a lawful permanent resident of the US since 2016. Mafi maintains a US residence but frequently travels to Iran, Turkey and Oman, according to a criminal complaint obtained by Fox News.

The complaint against Mafi states that she lived in Istanbul, Turkey, from 2013 to 2016. In one interview with federal officials, Mafi said that her first husband was an officer for Iran’s ministry of intelligence and security, the intelligence arm of the Iranian government.

Mafi and a co-conspirator, who was not named in court documents, allegedly brokered weapons deals through their company Atlas International, according to records obtained during an authorized search. The illegal weapons dealing allegedly took place in several locations, including in California, according to the complaint.

In one such deal, Mafi allegedly facilitated the sale of Iranian-manufactured drones by the Iranian government to Sudan’s ministry of defense, a contract valued at more than €60m. Mafi herself reportedly earned $6m euros in payment after “[coordinating] the Sudanese delegation’s travel to Iran”.

Sudan has been fighting a civil war since 2023, a conflict that has killed as many as hundreds of thousands of civilians and displaced upwards of 13 million people in the region.

Pictures posted to social media include Mafi posing with weapons at a warehouse in Turkey and enjoying a beach day in California, the Los Angeles Times reported.

If convicted, Mafi faces up to 20 years in federal prison. She is expected to make her first court appearance on Monday at the US district court in Los Angeles.

Iran Israel War: Iran refuses to participate in the second round of talks, Trump threatens destruction – Iran Israel War Tehran Refuses To Participate In The Second Round Of Talks In Islamabad Donald Trump Threatens

0

The American team led by US Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to reach Islamabad today. But Iran has refused to attend this meeting. US President Donald Trump has become angry with Iran’s stance and has threatened Iran.



Amidst heightened tensions with America, Iran has refused to participate in the second round of direct talks to be held in Islamabad, Pakistan on Tuesday. Iran said its delegation will not go to Pakistan. This talk was announced by US President Donald Trump. He said, the American delegation will reach Pakistan on Monday. Trump also issued a strong threat to Iran that if an agreement is not reached to stop the war, Iran will be completely destroyed.

According to Iranian news agency IRNA, Iran has decided not to participate in the talks due to America’s excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, frequent changes in stance, contradictory statements and the naval blockade of Hormuz. The talks seem to be canceled after Iran’s tough stance. However, efforts of Pakistan and other countries for mediation are continuing.

Regarding the incident of firing on Indian ships, Trump said, ‘By doing this Iran has seriously violated the ceasefire, yet I think I can make a peace agreement. This will happen. Trump said, ‘We are presenting a very fair and reasonable agreement to Iran. I hope they will accept it. There will be no leniency now. If Iran does not accept the conditions, its bridges and power plants will be destroyed.

Australia dealing with ‘the largest energy shock in our history’, industry minister says

Let’s circle back to another interview on ABC Radio National from this morning, with Albanese government minister Tim Ayres.

Overnight, a US navy ship fired on vessel it said had tried to get past a blockade the country has imposed on Iranian ports, while Iran has pledged to keep the strait of Hormuz closed until the blockade is lifted.

Asked how concerned the Australian government was about the latest developments in the vital shipping pathway, Ayres said:

double quotation markIt’s a very volatile situation, to say the least.

That’s why the Australian government’s been calling for de-escalation and a cessation of hostilities and why we’ve been working so hard on these fuel and fertiliser security questions, not just here in Australia, but in the region, to do everything that we can, to provide a shock absorber, to cushion Australia and Australians from as much of … what is clearly the largest energy shock in our history.

Ayres downplayed government concerns about the effects the latest escalation of the war could have on fuel prices in Australia, saying:

double quotation markIt’s important, I think, not to focus on the, the daily see-sawing of activity.

Because events are moving very fast and our job here as the Australian government is to focus on what it is that we can do in fuel security terms now, but also to invest in the future, to build energy resilience in Australia and build our industrial capability, to shape a future that makes Australia more economically resilient and stronger.

Ayres wouldn’t confirm whether the government would extend the temporary changes to fuel excise and the heavy vehicle road user charge for cost of living relief.

Nationals ‘absolutely’ in with a chance to win Farrer byelection, McKenzie says

The Nationals senator Bridget McKenzie, says her party “absolutely” has a chance to win the Farrer byelection in less than three weeks.

The byelection, prompted by the retirement from politics of the New South Wales electorate’s long-serving Liberal MP, Sussan Ley, is turning into a four-corner contest between the Liberals, Nationals, One Nation and an independent candidate.

McKenzie, who was interviewed on ABC Radio National this morning, said the Nationals would be out campaigning in Narranderah, Griffith and Finley over the next couple of days, to promote their candidate Brad Robertson.

She said the two main issues on the ground were the state of the hospital and health services in Albury, and water management.

The Nationals are facing a challenge from Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, which hopes to expand its lower house presence on the back of a recent surge in support, with the 69-year-old local agribusiness consultant David Farley as its candidate.

McKenzie was asked on the ABC what she made of a dip in support for One Nation, according to opinion polling published overnight. She said:

double quotation markIn times of global crisis, which we’re currently in, Australians rightfully look to parties of government when they’re looking at economic shocks, such as we’re going through, or indeed how to respond to foreign conflicts.

And it’s really the parties of government, the National party, the Liberal party and the Labor party that have expertise in that those policy areas.

And I think that is what may be driving that drop, as Australians consider who is best to manage these types of scenarios.

McKenzie said she hoped voters were looking more closely for policy details from One Nation.

The Nationals are also up against independent candidate Michelle Milthorpe in Farrer. You can read more about Milthorpe, and what’s happening on the ground in Farrer, here:

Miami Marlins may actually, legitimately be cursed

0

You probably read that headline and thought to yourself, “Yeah, and the sky is blue. Where are you going with this?”

I realize the Miami Marlins aren’t exactly the picture of a model MLB franchise, with their myriad firesales and crappy attendance numbers, but every once in a while, even when the team starts to show signs that they aren’t completely destitute, a sign from God comes down and reminds their fans that they aren’t meant to have any fun.

A couple of weeks ago, the Marlins sat at the top of the NL East with an 8-5 record, taking two of four games off of the Cincinnati Reds and could have even had a series win if not for a boneheaded pitching change courtesy of embattled manager Clayton McCullough.

They were the toast of the town.

MLB Network was devoting entire segments to talk about how dangerous, young, and talented this club was.

Hell, even I was getting in on the fun and double fisting the Kool-Aid.

Since that moment, the Marlins have dropped seven of their last eight games and look to be in complete free-fall mode.

But there was light at the end of the tunnel; a glimmer of hope in a sea of sewage.

The Marlins were set to get their best position player back in outfielder Kyle Stowers.

Stowers was going to be activated after starting the season on the injured list, and that meant the Fish were getting an All-Star and a home run machine back in the heart of their lineup.

And in his very first plate appearance back, rocking the Sunday throwback uniforms, this happened.

Oh, no! We suck again!

Nothing like taking 102 off the pinky to welcome you back to the Majors, huh kid?

Although Stowers eventually returned and even hit a double in his next plate appearance, I can’t think of many other franchises that would see their franchise player come so close to another long term injury immediately after being taken off the IL.

The fans were just as miffed about the whole situation, taking to X to voice their concern while realizing this is just another day in the life of a Miami Marlins supporter.

Not many people know the torture that is being a Marlins fan, but I can assure you, nothing in life prepares you for it.

You don’t even get disappointed, you just know something bad is going to happen and never get your hopes up in the first place.

It looks like Stowers will be fine, but I’m sure everyone has already moved on and prepared themselves for the next unfortunate series of events to unfold.

Rinse and repeat, Fish fanatics.
