US-Flagged Tanker Challenged by Iranian Gunboats in Strait of Hormuz

A US-flagged tanker, the Stena Imperative, was approached and challenged by Iranian gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, according to British maritime security firm Vanguard Tech. The incident occurred approximately 30 kilometers north of Oman.

Vanguard Tech reported that the vessel continued on its journey as planned and is now being escorted by a US warship. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations also acknowledged the incident.

Other News in Brief:

In other news, a Copenhagen court on Tuesday sentenced two Swedish citizens to lengthy prison terms for a 2024 attack on Israel's embassy in Denmark. The 18-year-old received a 12-year sentence, while the 21-year-old was sentenced to 14 years. Both were found guilty of terrorism and attempted murder for throwing grenades at the embassy in the early hours of October 2, 2024. The court determined that the pair, aged 16 and 18 at the time of the attack, conspired with unidentified accomplices from a criminal network in Sweden.

Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan announced at the Cisco AI Summit on Tuesday that Intel will begin producing graphics processing units (GPUs). According to Reuters, Kevork Kechichian, the executive vice president and general manager of Intel's data center group, will oversee the project. GPUs are specialized processors used for gaming and training artificial intelligence models.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a cross-appeal in the antitrust case against Google on Tuesday, following Google's own appeal filed last month. The DOJ Antitrust Division announced the cross-appeal in a post on X.

Right-wing YouTuber Nick Shirley, after allegedly triggering an influx of federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, is reportedly attempting a similar stunt in San Diego, according to The Verge. Shirley's viral video alleging fraud at Minnesota daycares purportedly operated by Somali residents preceded increased immigration enforcement in that state.
