A Basílica do Santuário Nacional de Aparecida ficou lotada nesta quinta-feira (4) para a celebração de Corpus Christi. O novo arcebispo, Dom Mário Antônio da Silva, presidiu a missa solene, destacando o significado profundo da Eucaristia em seu ministério.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized the Liberian-flagged container ship Epaminondas, claiming it was used by the US military and had entered US ports repeatedly over six months. The vessel, operated by Danish company Maersk and chartered by Greece's Technomar group, was detained for maritime violations. The 21-member crew consists of Ukrainian and Filipino citizens. The Greek government stated the ship was not hijacked and remained under the captain's command.
The Iranian Navy intercepted two vessels—the Panama-flagged MSC Francesca and Liberia-flagged Epaminondas—in the Strait of Hormuz on April 22, seizing them for threatening maritime security and lacking appropriate permissions. The Epaminondas was bound for India's Mundra port from UAE's Jebel Ali. This occurs amid ongoing US-Iran tensions, with a ceasefire set to expire and Tehran rejecting Washington's unilateral extension.
