West Bengal EVM Row: Mamata Alleges Denial of Entry, Election Officer Clarifies Rules

A reported Iranian oil shipment is drawing attention amid ongoing U.S. naval restrictions. According to TankerTrackers.com, a Very Large Crude Carrier named “HUGE,” carrying roughly 1.9 million barrels of crude valued at about $220 million, appears to have reached the Asia-Pacific after evading monitoring. The vessel reportedly disabled its AIS tracking signals during its journey and was last observed near Sri Lanka before moving toward Indonesia’s Lombok Strait. While Iranian sources claim multiple ships have continued operations despite the blockade, U.S. officials maintain enforcement measures are limiting exports and forcing several vessels to turn back.
