Il Tempo: Stretto di Hormuz, gli Usa abbattono altri due droni iraniani

Nuova escalation di tensioni in Medio Oriente. Nella serata di sabato 6 giugno l'esercito degli Stati Uniti ha abbattuto due droni d'attacco iraniani che minacciavano le navi mercantili in transito nello Stretto di Hormuz. "Oggi le forze statunitensi in Medio Oriente hanno intercettato e distrutto due droni d'attacco iraniani che rappresentavano una minaccia per il traffico marittimo internazionale nello Stretto di Hormuz", ha comunicato il Comando Centrale degli Stati Uniti (CENTCOM) tramite un post su X, aggiungendo che le truppe americane restano pronte a difendersi da ogni aggressione da parte di Teheran.
Un nuovo scambio di colpi che minaccia il già fragile cessate il fuoco tra Stati Uniti e Iran, mentre Washington conferma di aver concesso ai calciatori iraniani i visti per i Mondiali. Settimane di complessi negoziati, caratterizzati da minacce e recrudescenze di violenza, non sono servite a raggiungere un accordo per porre fine alla guerra e riaprire lo Stretto di Hormuz. Il cessate il fuoco è in vigore dall'8 aprile, ma le tensioni sono tornate a salire ieri quando l'esercito statunitense ha annunciato di aver colpito postazioni radar in Iran e poco dopo le sirene antiaeree hanno suonato in Kuwait e Bahrein – entrambi Paesi che ospitano basi degli Stati Uniti – e sono state udite delle esplosioni. I Guardiani della Rivoluzione hanno detto di aver preso di mira con missili "basi nemiche nella zona" in risposta all'"invasione" statunitense delle isole di Sirik e Qeshm.

Hormuz Strait, US downs another two Iranian drones

A new escalation of tensions in the Middle East. On Saturday, June 6th, the U.S. military shot down two Iranian attack drones threatening commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz. “Today, U.S. forces in the Middle East intercepted and destroyed two Iranian attack drones posing a threat to international maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz,” said the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) via a post on X, adding that American troops remain ready to defend themselves against any aggression from Tehran.

A new exchange of fire that threatens the already fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran, while Washington confirms it has granted Iranian soccer players visas for the World Cup. Weeks of complex negotiations, characterized by threats and escalating violence, have not succeeded in reaching an agreement to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire has been in effect since April 8th, but tensions have risen again yesterday when the U.S. military announced it had struck radar sites in Iran and shortly thereafter air sirens sounded in Kuwait and Bahrain – both countries that host U.S. bases – and explosions were heard. The Revolutionary Guard said it targeted “enemy bases in the area” in response to the U.S. “invasion” of the Sirik and Qeshm islands.

Agi: "Minacciavano le navi nello Stretto", gli Usa abbattono due droni iraniani su Hormuz

AGI - Scambio di colpi tra Iran e Usa e nuova escalation di tensioni in Medio Oriente. L'esercito degli Stati Uniti ha abbattuto, nella notte, due droni iraniani che minacciavano le navi mercantili in transito nello Stretto di Hormuz.
Nuova escalation tra Iran e Stati Uniti 
"Oggi le forze statunitensi in Medio Oriente hanno intercettato e distrutto due droni iraniani che rappresentavano una minaccia per il traffico marittimo internazionale nello Stretto di Hormuz", ha comunicato il Comando Centrale degli Stati Uniti (Centcom) con un post su X, aggiungendo che le truppe americane restano pronte a difendersi da ogni aggressione da parte di Teheran.
Usa e Iran, il nodo dei beni congelati 
Il segretario USA al Tesoro, Scott Bessent, intende mettere i beni iraniani congelati a disposizione degli Stati arabi del Golfo Persico per compensarli dei danni causati dagli attacchi di Teheran, passati e futuri. È quanto apprende Reuters da fonti ben informate.
Bessent, prosegue Reuters, avrebbe chiesto ai suoi funzionari di valutare l'entità dei danni già subiti in modo da calcolare l'ammontare del possibile risarcimento.
Il Tesoro, riferisce un'altra fonte al New York Post, utilizzerà "tutti gli strumenti disponibili per consentire che tutte le risorse iraniane siano messe a disposizione dei nostri alleati del Golfo per sostenere la ricostruzione e le riparazioni per eventuali danni futuri causati dall'Iran".
Ieri Mohsen Rezaei, un consigliere della Guida Suprema iraniana Mojtaba Khamenei, aveva dichiarato alla Cnn che lo sblocco di beni iraniani congelati per 24 miliardi di dollari era uno dei punti cruciali della trattativa con gli USA.

“Warships were threatening in the Strait,” the US shot down two Iranian drones over Hormuz.

US and Iran exchange fire and new escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The United States military shot down two Iranian drones in the night that threatened commercial ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

New escalation between Iran and the United States
“Today, US forces in the Middle East intercepted and destroyed two Iranian drones that posed a threat to international maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz,” the US Central Command (Centcom) said in a post on X, adding that American troops remain prepared to defend themselves from any aggression by Tehran.

US and Iran, the issue of frozen assets
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent intends to make Iranian frozen assets available to Arab states in the Persian Gulf to compensate them for the damage caused by Tehran’s attacks, past and future. This is what Reuters learns from well-informed sources.

Bessent, Reuters continues, would have asked his officials to assess the extent of the damage already suffered in order to calculate the amount of possible compensation.

The Treasury, another source told the New York Post, will use “all available tools to ensure that all Iranian resources are made available to our allies in the Gulf to support reconstruction and repairs for any future damage caused by Iran.”

Yesterday, Mohsen Rezaei, an advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, told CNN that the release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets was one of the key points of the negotiation with the US.

Rubio: “The Strait of Hormuz will be open, in one way or another”

AGI - The enriched uranium that Donald Trump calls “nuclear dust” will be delivered “immediately” by Iran to the United States “to be returned home and destroyed.” This was stated by the American president in a post on Truth, specifying however that Washington is ready to evaluate an alternative solution “preferable, in collaboration and coordination with the Islamic Republic of Iran”: the destruction of the material directly in Iran “or in another acceptable location,” with the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission – and not the IAEA – present as witness to the process.

The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), recalled by Trump, is the U.S. government agency historically responsible for overseeing the development of atomic energy in peacetime, distinct from international bodies such as the United Nations Atomic Energy Agency.

U.S. Attacks on Iranian Sites and Vessels Near the Strait of Hormuz

In parallel with the nuclear dossier, military tensions in the Persian Gulf area remain high. The U.S. military has conducted “self-defense” attacks against Iranian missile launch sites and vessels in the vicinity of the Strait of Hormuz. This was reported by CNN citing the U.S. Central Command (Centcom).

Spokesperson Timothy Hawkins confirmed that the operations were carried out “to protect our troops from the threats posed by Iranian forces,” despite the ceasefire currently in effect and ongoing negotiations to end the war. According to information gathered, the targets included Iranian means attempting to lay mines in the strategic waters of the strait.

“The Central Command continues to defend U.S. forces by maintaining moderation during the ceasefire,” Hawkins clarified.

Rubio: “The Strait of Hormuz will be open, in one way or another”

From India, where he is on an official visit, U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio reiterated Washington’s line on freedom of navigation: “The Strait will be open in one way or another. It must be, because what is happening there is illegitimate, unsustainable and unacceptable for the world.”

A statement that confirms the American determination to prevent Tehran from maintaining restrictions on maritime traffic in one of the planet’s most crucial energy routes.

Diplomatic Glimmers: “An agreement is still possible”

Despite the new attacks, Rubio allows cautious optimism about the possibility of an agreement with Tehran to filter through. “New talks took place today in Qatar, we will see if we are able to make progress,” he told reporters.

Why does the Greenland shark live longer?

Great White Shark - The Greenland shark, considered the longest-lived vertebrate known with an estimated lifespan of almost 400 years, possesses genetic characteristics that could explain its extraordinary resistance to aging and disease.

This emerges from a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) by Kaiqiao Yang, Kazuya Nishiwaki, Hideaki Mizobata and Shigeharu Kinoshita of the University of Tokyo, together with an international group of researchers.

The Greenland Shark Genome

The researchers have carried out the first complete chromosomal-level genomic assembly of the Greenland shark, a species adapted to the deep, cold environments of the Arctic and characterized by an extremely slow metabolism. The reconstructed genome measures approximately 5.9 gigabases, with a high level of genetic completeness of 96.7 percent.

Biological Mechanisms of Longevity

The analyses highlighted several biological mechanisms associated with extreme longevity, including strengthening of immune defenses, resistance to tumors, and particularly efficient DNA repair systems.

The Role of Histone H1.0

The researchers also identified specific amino acid modifications in the histone protein H1.0, involved in chromatin stability, which could contribute to protecting genetic material from accumulated molecular damage over centuries.

Protection from Cellular Degradation

According to the authors, these characteristics could help the Greenland shark overcome the normal biological limits of lifespan. “The amino acid substitutions observed in the globular domain of histone H1.0 could improve chromatin stability,” explain the researchers, indicating a possible mechanism of protection against age-related cellular degradation.

Longevity and Ferroptosis

The study also suggests a possible link between longevity and ferroptosis, a particular form of cell death regulated by iron and oxidative processes. The distinctive genetic repertoire of the species, the researchers observe, provides a foundation for future hypotheses on the role of ferroptosis in aging processes.

Evolution and Populations

In addition to aspects related to the biology of longevity, the work also reconstructs the historical dynamics of Greenland shark populations and the closely related species *Somniosus pacificus*, offering new information on the evolution of cartilaginous sharks.

A Resource for Future Research

According to the authors, the availability of this genome represents an important resource for evolutionary studies as well as research into the genetic mechanisms of aging. “These genomic analyses offer new perspectives on the molecular basis of the Greenland shark’s exceptional longevity,” the researchers conclude, emphasizing how the results can contribute to the development of future research on human aging and age-related diseases.

Adnkronos - ultimoratop: Attacco alla petroliera, il caccia Usa colpisce nello Stretto di Hormuz

(Adnkronos) - Tensione alle stelle nello Stretto di Hormuz. Un caccia ha aperto il fuoco contro due petroliere battenti bandiera iraniana dirette verso porti della Repubblica islamica. Il Comando Centrale dell'esercito statunitense (Centcom) ha diffuso il video che documenta l'operazione. Un caccia F/A-18 Super Hornet ha colpito le petroliere con munizioni di precisione, prendendo di mira i fumaioli delle imbarcazioni al fine di renderle inutilizzabili. Secondo quanto riferito dal Centcom le due navi, entrambe prive di carico, sarebbero state fermate "prima che entrassero in un porto iraniano nel Golfo dell'Oman, in violazione del blocco navale statunitense in corso".

Attack on oil tanker, US jet strikes in the Strait of Hormuz

(Adnkronos) - Tensions are at a fever pitch in the Strait of Hormuz. A fighter jet opened fire on two Iranian-flagged tankers heading towards ports in the Islamic Republic. The U.S. Central Command (Centcom) has released the video documenting the operation. An F/A-18 Super Hornet jet struck the tankers with precision munitions, targeting their funnels to render them unusable. According to Centcom, the two ships, both unladen, were stopped “before they entered an Iranian port in the Gulf of Oman, in violation of the U.S. naval blockade currently in effect.”

Il Tempo: Portaerei George Bush arrivata in Medio Oriente

La portaerei americana Uss George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) è entrata nell'area di responsabilità del Comando Centrale degli Stati Uniti (Centcom) nel Medio Oriente, accompagnata da tre cacciatorpediniere classe Arleigh Burke e da una nave di supporto logistico, nell'ambito di un gruppo d'attacco navale. Nel dispositivo sono inclusi i cacciatorpediniere USS Ross (DDG-71), USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) e USS Mason (DDG-87), oltre alla nave di supporto rapido USNS Arctic (T-AOE-8).

Intanto la Marina statunitense ha attualmente 19 navi in Medio Oriente tra cui 2 portaerei e 7 navi nell'Oceano Indiano, ha dichiarato un funzionario statunitense. Il 13 aprile le forze armate statunitensi hanno iniziato ad applicare un blocco navale ai porti iraniani, impiegando gran parte di queste risorse e, fino a oggi, hanno già deviato il traffico di almeno 33 navi. Le forze statunitensi hanno inoltre abbordato almeno tre navi, di cui due nell'Oceano Indiano, a circa 2.000 miglia dal Golfo Persico. L'abbordaggio più recente è avvenuto nella notte, quando le forze statunitensi hanno abbordato una "nave apolide soggetta a sanzioni" che trasportava petrolio dall'Iran nell'Oceano Indiano, come annunciato dal Dipartimento della Difesa. Le due portaerei attualmente presenti nella zona sono la USS Abraham Lincoln e la USS Gerald R.Ford.

George Bush's aircraft carrier arrives in the Middle East.

The U.S. aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) has entered the area of responsibility of the U.S. Central Command (Centcom) in the Middle East, accompanied by three Arleigh Burke-class destroyers and a logistics support ship, as part of a naval attack group. The group includes the destroyers USS Ross (DDG-71), USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) and USS Mason (DDG-87), along with the fast combat support ship USNS Arctic (T-AOE-8).

Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy currently has 19 ships in the Middle East, including two aircraft carriers and seven ships in the Indian Ocean, a U.S. official said. On April 13, U.S. forces began implementing a naval blockade of Iranian ports, deploying a significant portion of these assets and, to date, have diverted the traffic of at least 33 ships. U.S. forces have also seized at least three ships, two in the Indian Ocean, approximately 2,000 miles from the Persian Gulf. The latest boarding occurred overnight when U.S. forces seized a “sank-compliant vessel subject to sanctions” transporting oil from Iran into the Indian Ocean, as announced by the Department of Defense. The two aircraft carriers currently in the area are the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Gerald R. Ford.
