Saudi Arabia Pushes US To End Hormuz Blockade Fearing Bab Al-Mandab Closure: Report
Saudi Arabia was forced to redirect its oil exports through Bab al-Mandab after the Strait of Hormuz was closed by Iran
Saudi Arabia is requesting that Washington end its newly announced blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and resume negotiations with Iran, fearing Tehran could escalate the war and disrupt Saudi oil exports through another strategic strait, Bab al-Mandab, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 14 April, citing Arab officials.
The blockade of Hormuz announced by US President Donald Trump on Sunday, following the breakdown of talks with Iran in Pakistan the day before, is aimed at raising the pressure on Iran’s already weakened economy.
The Arab officials cited by WSJ warned that “Saudi Arabia has warned Iran might retaliate by closing the Bab al-Mandab – a Red Sea chokepoint crucial for the kingdom’s remaining oil exports.”
After the US and Israel launched an unprovoked war on Iran on 28 February, traffic through the Strait of Hormuz came to an effective halt, amid threats from Iran to target “enemy-linked” vessels, and as western financial firms canceled maritime insurance for any ships wishing to pass through the strait.
As a result, Saudi officials were forced to halt oil exports through Hormuz and redirect their oil production through the East–West Pipeline, which terminates at the Yanbu port on the Red Sea near Bab al-Mandab.

❗️Italy suspends automatic renewal of defense deal with Israel as Meloni signals policy shift
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced the suspension of the automatic renewal of a defense agreement with Israel, marking a notable pause in military and technology cooperation between the two sides.
Speaking on the sidelines of an event in Verona, Meloni said the government had decided to halt the renewal of the pact, which covers the exchange of military equipment and joint research in defense technology, according to Italian news agency Ansa. The move places the future of the framework under review amid shifting political calculations in Rome.
The agreement had previously underpinned structured defense ties between Italy and Israel, but the suspension signals a recalibration of that relationship.

VIDEO | 'Israel is a new Third Reich and that’s how its flag should look'
On 14 April, Polish lawmaker Konrad Berkowicz displayed a flag that merged Israel's with a swastika during a session in parliament, while accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran.
Berkowicz, vice-chair of the far-right KORWiN party, used the parliamentary floor to describe Israel as “the new Third Reich,” citing reports including the use of white phosphorus munitions. The act drew immediate condemnation from Israel’s embassy in Warsaw, which called it an “antisemitic horror,” while Poland’s Foreign Ministry described it as deeply offensive to Holocaust memory, and parliamentary leadership demanded disciplinary measures.
Following the backlash, Berkowicz reiterated his accusations online and doubling down on his claims.

Israel Implements Gaza Playbook To Erase South Lebanon Towns
Academics and rights groups warn that the Israeli army is carrying out domicide in an effort to render the border villages ‘uninhabitable’
Rights groups have expressed concern over Israel’s brutal and systematic campaign targeting civilian infrastructure on the southern Lebanese border, pointing to the same policy used by Tel Aviv in the Gaza Strip.
“The possibility that Hezbollah may use some civilian structures in Lebanon’s border villages for military purposes does not justify the wide-scale destruction of entire villages along the border,” said Human Rights Watch’s (HRW) Lebanon researcher Ramzi Kaiss.
According to the National Council for Scientific Research in Lebanon (CNRSL), around 40,000 housing units have been blown up by the Israeli military since the start of last month.
~40,000 housing units destroyed or heavily damaged in just 35 days — ≈16% of total war damage since Oct 2023.
Most affected: Southern Beirut Suburbs, Nabatieh, Bint Jbeil, Sour.

VIDEO | "You're killing children in Gaza!"
US Vice President JD Vance was repeatedly interrupted by audience members during a Turning Point USA event in Georgia, as tensions flared over his defense of Washington’s stance on the US-Israeli war on Iran and on Gaza, where Israel continues to kill Palestinians on a near-daily basis.
While addressing students, Vance pushed back against remarks by Pope Leo criticizing war, arguing that armed force could be justified in certain contexts. During his speech, a heckler shouted “Jesus Christ does not support genocide,” prompting Vance to respond that he agreed with the principle before attempting to continue.
The exchange escalated when another voice from the audience challenged him directly over Gaza, asking why the US was “committing genocide,” forcing a brief pause in the event as Vance tried to regain control of the discussion.

China, Spain Deepen Ties Amid ‘Collapsing Global Order’
Madrid seeks deeper strategic and economic ties with Beijing while distancing itself from US military adventures in West Asia
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez pledged to deepen ties between their nations on 14 April, presenting closer cooperation as a response to what Xi described as a “collapsing global order” and escalating tensions triggered by the US war on Iran.
“The facts have shown deepening cooperation between China and Spain serves the interests of both countries’ peoples and aligns with the prevailing trend of our times,” Xi said
The Chinese president warned that “the international order is crumbling into disarray,” describing both chaos and moral decline during his meeting with Sanchez.
He called for stronger coordination, urging both sides to “enhance communication, consolidate mutual trust, and cooperate closely to resist any regression toward the law of the jungle.”
Sanchez, speaking alongside Xi, pushed for tighter China–EU relations, saying it is “more necessary today than ever” to build a stronger partnership that can “contribute to providing solutions” to global instability, trade tensions, and ongoing wars.

❗️Paper packaging demand surges as war on Iran disrupts plastic supply
An “eco-friendly” line of paper tubes and pouches promoted by Yonwoo, a South Korean cosmetics packaging manufacturer, has unexpectedly benefited from the war on Iran, which has interrupted the supply of plastic used for single-use packaging.
As the war has driven plastic prices up to around four-year highs by restricting the flow of essential oil- and petrochemical-based raw materials, the company reports that inquiries for paper alternatives have tripled.
"Interest initially came from companies focused on sustainability ... but if the plastics issue gets prolonged we expect demand to further increase," said Kim Min-sang, a senior manager at parent Kolmar Korea.
The supplier to major companies such as France’s L’Oreal has mostly received inquiries about paper tubes for products like sunscreen and lotions, which require only 20% of the plastic used in traditional packaging, Kim told Reuters.

❗️FT: Iran acquired Chinese spy satellite to track US bases
Iran covertly obtained a Chinese spy satellite in late 2024 that enabled it to track US military bases across West Asia during the US-Israeli war on Tehran, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the TEE-01B satellite, developed and launched by Chinese firm Earth Eye Co, was acquired by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force after being sent into orbit from China, citing leaked Iranian military documents.
The newspaper alleged Iranian commanders used the satellite to observe key US military installations, referencing time-stamped coordinates, satellite imagery, and orbital data. Images were reportedly captured in March both before and after drone and missile strikes on those sites.
As part of the arrangement, the IRGC was reportedly granted access to commercial ground stations run by Beijing-based Emposat, which provides satellite control and data services across Asia, Latin America, and other regions, the report added.
When questioned, the Chinese embassy in Washington told the FT: "we firmly oppose relevant parties spreading speculative and insinuative disinformation against China."
The satellite reportedly captured images of Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia on 13, 14, and 15 March.
The report added that the satellite also tracked the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, as well as areas near the US Fifth Fleet naval base in Manama, Bahrain, and Erbil airport in Iraqi Kurdistan, around the time of IRGC-claimed attacks on those locations.

Hezbollah Inflicts Heavy Losses On Israeli Army During Bint Jbeil Battles
Rambam Hospital in Haifa says helicopters are ‘constantly’ bringing in wounded soldiers from the battlefield in south Lebanon
Hezbollah resistance fighters are fiercely confronting the Israeli military’s attempts to capture the strategic southern city of Bint Jbeil, inflicting heavy losses on invading troops, Hebrew media reports have confirmed.
Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported on 15 April that Hezbollah’s operations in the besieged city were “exacting a toll” on the Israeli army.
“Despite advancing under heavy fire cover from both land and air in an attempt to avoid casualties, the talk is about a densely built-up area, just like in the Gaza Strip, and therefore, close-range clashes cannot be completely avoided,” it said.
Days earlier, Israeli media had said that Bint Jbeil – a highly strategic city which links south Lebanon’s eastern and western sectors – was close to being captured, claiming hundreds of resistance fighters were killed.
Yet Hezbollah retains a significant presence in Bint Jbeil and is targeting Israeli forces encircling the city.
