【カイロ時事】イランの精鋭軍事組織「革命防衛隊」は14日、原油輸送の要衝ホルムズ海峡でコンテナ船1隻が機雷に接触し炎上後、沈没したと明らかにした。「許可されていない航路」を通航したためと主張した。国営テレビが伝えた。

トランプ氏、イランのLA攻撃容認か「やらせておけばいい」 民主党の地盤

国営テレビは、この船は2500個以上のコンテナを積んで海峡のオマーン側を通航中だったと報道。多数のコンテナが海上に散らばり、船付近から黒煙が上がる様子を伝えた。戦闘終結に向けた米国との協議が停滞する中、海峡の支配を誇示する思惑がありそうだ。

AFP通信は英警備会社の情報として、シンガポール船籍のコンテナ船が13日に海峡で飛翔(ひしょう)体による攻撃を受け、沈没したと報じた。イラン側が公表した船と同一かどうかは分からないという。

A new bridge connecting China and North Korea opens, expanding trade and traffic and improving relations.

The new Yalu River Bridge, which connects Dandong in China's Liaoning Province and Sinuiju in northwestern North Korea, opened on the 15th. The bridge, which is approximately 3 kilometers long, has a higher capacity for transporting goods than the China-North Korea Friendship Bridge, and is expected to lead to expanded trade and people-to-people traffic. The Chinese side positions this as an "important facility for mutual cooperation between the two countries."

Is the detention of Japanese journalists a reflection of tensions between Japan and Russia? There are fears that it will be prolonged - Russia

During Russia's invasion of Ukraine, a male reporter from the Hokkaido Shimbun Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk bureau was arrested on suspicion of being a spy. It is unusual for a Japanese journalist to be charged with espionage, and there are concerns that he will be detained for a long time. In the past, there have been cases in which Kyodo News reporters were temporarily detained in Vladivostok, but in this case, it has been pointed out that the Putin administration may be using the detention to keep Japan in check amid worsening Japan-Russia relations.

ICC sanctions make it difficult for the U.S. to change its mind, so Japan continues to lobby

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has declared that he will "continue to support" the International Criminal Court (ICC) after the Trump administration designated the organization itself as subject to sanctions. Although he has expressed his intention to continue lobbying the United States while cooperating with the international community, it seems that it will not be easy to get the United States to change its mind. The Japanese government launched a signature campaign to get the sanctions lifted, and students of ICC Director Akane submitted more than 170,000 signatures. At the House of Representatives Budget Committee, the prime minister emphasized continued communication with the United States and support for the ICC through cooperation with related countries, and expressed deep concerns on his X (formerly Twitter) account. In response to criticism that the U.S. government's statement that it was "deeply disappointed" when it designated Director Akane as a sanction target in August was "weak," it immediately announced its support for the ICC and issued a statement along with Britain, France, Germany, and other countries that it "strongly opposes," and, as a member of the ICC's Conference of the Parties, called for an immediate withdrawal. A Ministry of Foreign Affairs official described the impact of the sanctions as ``huge,'' and government officials do not hide their anxiety, saying they deny the existence of the ICC. The US administration is aiming to dismantle the ICC, and there appears to be a wide gap in its position with the Japanese government.
