O Irã disse na noite deste sábado (5) que atacou um porta-aviões e outro navio de guerra dos Estados Unidos após um dia de troca de disparos no estreito de Hormuz. O Pentágono não confirmou a informação.

Mais cedo, os EUA haviam afirmado ter destruído três petroleiros iranianos depois que a Guarda Revolucionária abriu fogo contra navios de guerra americanos. Teerã, por sua vez, teria alvejado três cargueiros em retaliação.

As embarcações iranianas foram atacadas "na costa da ilha de Kharg" e no golfo de Omã, informou o Comando Central dos EUA (Centcom, na sigla em inglês) para o Oriente Médio.

Um dos petroleiros foi atingido "depois que a tripulação recebeu ordem para abandonar a embarcação", acrescentaram as Forças Armadas americanas.

Em um vídeo divulgado pelo Centcom, é possível ver bolas de fogo após os projéteis atingirem os navios.

Os alvos faziam "parte de uma rede clandestina multibilionária que financia" a Guarda Revolucionária e seus aliados na região, afirmou o Exército.

Nenhum militar americano ficou ferido.

"Que a mensagem à Guarda Revolucionária seja clara: se dispararem contra dois de nossos navios, vamos impor um custo econômico ainda maior, eliminando três dos seus", declarou o comandante do Centcom, almirante Brad Cooper.

Os Estados Unidos buscam aumentar a pressão econômica sobre o Irã e mantêm a ameaça de uma ação militar. As medidas incluem o bloqueio dos portos iranianos.

American delegation meets with Putin in the Kremlin to discuss ending the war in Ukraine

After having dinner with a representative of the Russian government, the American delegation led by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner went to the Kremlin with a proposal to end the conflict in Ukraine. Putin described the situation as 'difficult', but Russia and Ukraine have pledged not to attack the two countries' capitals for the next three days. Russia demands that Ukraine cede all claimed territory and abandon NATO membership, while Kiev admits it may give up the alliance in exchange for Western security guarantees. Negotiations had been at a standstill since February, when the US turned its attention to Iran.

Trump praises Delcy Rodríguez as 'highly respected' after oil deal with Venezuela

Donald Trump praised Delcy Rodríguez as 'highly respected interim president of Venezuela' after announcing a strategic oil deal that gives the US majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan reserves. Maduro is imprisoned in New York, but Chavismo remains in power, now aligned with Washington. The agreement, negotiated with Delcy, could yield more than US$200 billion over 25 years and reduces the influence of China and Russia in the region. Opponent María Corina Machado questioned Delcy's legitimacy to negotiate the country's resources, arguing that development requires solid institutions and an elected government. The agreement creates a dilemma for the US, which now has an economic and strategic interest in Venezuelan stability, guaranteed by a Chavista leadership supervised by Washington.
