Keluarga tebusan Hamas yang terbunuh berjuang untuk pembebasan mereka yang masih berada di Gaza

(SeaPRwire) - Oded Lifshitz berumur 83 tahun ketika dia ditarik dari rumahnya di Kibbutz Nir Oz bersama isterinya, Yocheved, semasa serangan Hamas pada 7 Oktober 2023. Yocheved kembali ke Israel hidup-hidup pada Oktober 2023 dan telah menyokong pembebasan tebusan lain sejak itu. Pada 20 Februari 2025, Oded kembali ke Israel dalam keranda. Keluarganya, bagaimanapun, tidak berputus asa untuk mereka yang masih berada di Gaza.Daniel Lifshitz, cucu Oded dan Yocheved, memberitahu Digital bahawa, walaupun yang telah kembali telah membawa sedikit cahaya kembali ke Kibbutz Nir Oz, tiada apa yang benar-benar boleh dilakukan sehingga semua tebusan kembali. Sehingga waktu penulisan ini, 13 tebusan yang diambil dari Nir Oz masih berada di Gaza, dan tidak semua daripada mereka masih hidup.Ketika bercakap dengan Digital, Daniel menyifatkan mendiang datuknya sebagai seorang "pejuang keamanan," menjelaskan bahawa walaupun Oded berkhidmat dalam empat peperangan, dia juga berjuang untuk hak-hak minoriti.Oded dan Yocheved adalah aktivis keamanan yang membantu pesakit kanser pediatrik Palestin dari Gaza menyeberang ke Israel untuk kemoterapi. Dalam ucapan takziah yang disampaikannya di pengebumian suaminya, Yocheved membincangkan aktivisme mereka dan berkata mereka "telah dilanda serangan dahsyat oleh mereka yang kami bantu di seberang sana," menurut .Daniel menjelaskan bahawa neneknya berasa dikhianati bukan oleh Hamas atau Islamic Jihad, tetapi oleh orang awam Palestin yang telah dia dan suaminya luangkan bertahun-tahun membantu."Selepas 7 Oktober, mereka tidak — kami tidak melihat rakyat Palestin pergi untuk membantah di luar menentang Hamas, pergi ke protes untuk pembebasan tebusan, yang mereka tahu jika mereka membebaskan semua tebusan itu juga akan menjadi penghujung perang," Daniel memberitahu Digital. "Dan mereka perlu menunjukkan bahawa mereka tidak mahu Hamas, dan di situlah nenek saya berasa sangat dikhianati kerana untuk siapa kita cuba."Mayat Oded dikembalikan bersama-sama dengan Ariel dan Kfir Bibas. Ibu budak lelaki itu, , sepatutnya berada di dalam keranda keempat, tetapi mayatnya tidak ada di sana ketika keranda itu tiba di Israel. Mayatnya dikembalikan dua hari kemudian."… kepulangan mereka bersama-sama melambangkan kegagalan masyarakat antarabangsa bagi saya kerana di dalam kereta itu terdapat bayi berusia 9 bulan, satu-satunya bayi yang dijadikan tebusan di dunia dengan datuk buyut berusia 83 tahun, satu-satunya datuk buyut yang menjadi tebusan di dunia," Daniel memberitahu Digital.Daniel membesar dengan adik Shiri, Dana, yang memberitahu Digital bahawa dia seperti seorang adik perempuan kepadanya.Apabila ditanya mengenai perbezaan antara pentadbiran Biden dan pengendalian situasi oleh pentadbiran Trump, Daniel memberitahu Digital bahawa pasukan Trump "lebih kreatif.""Jika satu perkara tidak berkesan, mereka tidak meneruskan. Mereka cuba membawa penyelesaian lain," Daniel memberitahu Digital.Dalam menghadapi tragedi, keluarga Lifshitz enggan berputus asa bahawa baki tebusan, hidup dan mati, suatu hari nanti akan pulang ke Israel. Daniel juga berharap neneknya dapat berehat setelah dia tahu tebusan telah pulang.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

AS, Panama ‘merampas semula’ terusan daripada ‘pengaruh China,’ kata Hegseth

(SeaPRwire) - Setiausaha Pertahanan pada hari Selasa berkata A.S. akan mengambil semula Terusan Panama daripada "pengaruh China" kerana Washington cuba menegaskan semula kawalan ke atas laluan perdagangan utama. "Amerika Syarikat tidak akan membenarkan China Komunis atau mana-mana negara lain untuk mengancam operasi atau integriti terusan itu," katanya semasa acara akhbar dari negara Amerika Tengah itu. "Untuk tujuan ini, Amerika Syarikat dan Panama telah melakukan lebih banyak dalam beberapa minggu kebelakangan ini untuk mengukuhkan kerjasama pertahanan dan keselamatan kita berbanding yang telah kita lakukan dalam beberapa dekad."Bersama-sama kita akan mengambil semula Terusan Panama daripada pengaruh China," tambahnya.Panama telah berulang kali menolak dakwaan pentadbiran Trump bahawa China berkesan kerana ia mengendalikan dua pelabuhan utama di kedua-dua hujung laluan air itu.Bagaimanapun, negara Amerika Tengah itu menarik diri daripada perjanjian Inisiatif Jalur dan Jalan 2017 dengan Beijing awal tahun ini sebagai isyarat bahawa Panama telah memilih untuk menyebelahi pentadbiran Trump dalam pertikaian geopolitik ini.Hegseth membentangkan senarai latihan bersama, operasi dan kehadiran umum tentera A.S. di dalam dan sekitar terusan itu dalam usaha untuk menentang China, walaupun Digital tidak dapat menghubungi Pentagon dengan serta-merta untuk mengesahkan sama ada ini menandakan peningkatan kehadiran A.S. di rantau ini."Hubungan kita dengan Panama, terutamanya hubungan keselamatan kita, akan terus berkembang pada bulan-bulan dan tahun-tahun akan datang," kata Hegseth. "Hubungan kita berkembang sebahagiannya untuk memenuhi cabaran China Komunis yang semakin meningkat."Setiausaha pertahanan itu berkata terus memasang "infrastruktur kritikal" di terusan itu, yang memberikan China "potensi" untuk "menjalankan pengawasan.""Ini menjadikan Panama dan Amerika Syarikat kurang selamat, kurang makmur, kurang berdaulat," tambahnya. "Saya ingin menjelaskan. China tidak membina terusan ini. China tidak mengendalikan terusan ini, dan China tidak akan mempersenjatai terusan ini," kata Hegseth.Kedutaan China di D.C. tidak segera menjawab permintaan Digital untuk komen.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

NEC Face Recognition Ranks First in NIST Accuracy Testing JCN Newswire

NEC Face Recognition Ranks First in NIST Accuracy Testing

TOKYO, Apr 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced that its face recognition technology was ranked the world’s most accurate in the most recent benchmark test (1) conducted by the globally recognized U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (2).The latest Face Recognition Technology Evaluation (FRTE) 1:N Identification report indicates that NEC’s system received the highest performance rating, with an authentication error rate of 0.07%, in the "1:N Identification" test (3) using still images of 12 million people. In addition, it also ranked first in two aging tests using images taken more than 10 and 12 years ago (4), and was ranked in the top two in all eight major FRTE 1:N Identification categories listed on the NIST website.The NIST-sponsored benchmark test for face recognition technology is a thorough and fair process in which the NIST impartially evaluates programs developed and submitted by each organization under identical conditions. It is widely considered to be one of the few tests that allow users who are considering the introduction of face recognition technology to centrally compare the performance of algorithms from various organizations around the world.Since its first participation in 2009, NEC has repeatedly been ranked first in the world in the 1:N authentication test, which requires higher accuracy than any other face recognition technology benchmark test sponsored by the NIST. Particularly, in the aging test, which uses images that are more than 10 years old, equivalent to the expiration date of a passport, NEC has won first place with overwhelming accuracy that is unrivaled by any other organization.Through continuous improvements to its core algorithms, NEC has expanded the scope of application of its face recognition technology to approximately 80 airports around the world, as well as transportation facilities, office buildings, factories, hotels, theme parks, hospitals, apartment buildings, stores, financial institutions, and local governments, and has developed face recognition business in more than 50 countries and regions worldwide. The use of this technology is not limited to access control, but includes a wide range of applications to improve customer experience and security, such as hospitality, monitoring, in-store payments, and procedures at ATMs.In the future, NEC will not only continue to focus on replacing physical identity verification methods and physical security, but will also accelerate the development and provision of solutions that can be adapted to new use cases in an ever-growing digital society.At the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, which opens on April 13, 2025, NEC will provide a face recognition system for admission control for visitors who have purchased a full-year pass or summer pass, in addition to payments at stores in the venue (5), and will also provide a decentralized identity (DID)/verifiable credentials (VC) face recognition solution "NEC Digital Identity VCs Connect" for "null2," the signature pavilion produced by media artist Yoichi Ochiai (6).The DID/VC solution enables the creation of a "self-sovereign identity," where individuals manage their own information independently, reducing reliance on service providers and cloud vendors for digital data management. This will enable individuals to use digital services with greater peace of mind than ever before.NEC is thoroughly committed to following the NEC Group AI and Human Rights Principles (7) in its use of AI, biometric data, and other data, placing the highest priority on privacy and respect for human rights.NEC offers end-to-end digital transformation (DX) services, from strategy and concept consulting to implementation-focused offerings, based on the three pillars of business models, technology, and organization/talent. Additionally, in its shift from a traditional systems integrator to a "Value Driver," NEC restructured its value creation model under the name "NEC BluStellar"(8), which leverages NEC's cutting-edge technologies, developed and refined through years of experience and proven cross-industry expertise, aiming to transform business models, address social challenges, resolve management issues faced by customers, and lead them into a brighter future.(1) An evaluation of the accuracy of identification algorithms using a large dataset of over 10 million people.

Sonofai revolutionizes frozen tuna inspection with new device incorporating Fujitsu AI tech JCN Newswire

Sonofai revolutionizes frozen tuna inspection with new device incorporating Fujitsu AI tech

Kawasaki and Shizuoka, Japan, Apr 9, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Sonofai Inc., Ishida Tec Co., Ltd., and Tokai University today announced the launch of an automated inspection device that determines the fat content of frozen albacore tuna in a non-destructive manner. The device, which deploys Fujitsu’s AI technology, is being launched by Sonofai Inc., a Japanese startup dedicated to preserving artisanal techniques through digital innovation. Ishida Tec Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of food processing equipment, and Tokai University, which is driving innovation in the food processing industry also contributed to the collaboration. Sonofai will launch the newly developed inspection device SONOFAI T-01 in June 2025, initially targeting the seafood processing industry and fisheries cooperatives in Japan, before expanding globally. This effort comes against the backdrop of a sustained increase in demand for high-quality tuna around the world, with the Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency noting a 25% rise in the last 20 years (1).The SONOFAI T-01 leverages Fujitsu's ultrasound analysis AI technology, a core engine of the Fujitsu Kozuchi AI service, and is the first device of its kind that can determine the fat content of frozen tuna in a non-destructive manner. This enables automated, highly accurate fat content assessment without the need for human visual inspection. Conventional methods of assessment rely on skilled workers visually inspecting thawed cross-sections of the tail, which is a labor-intensive, time-consuming process, and prone to inconsistencies due to variations in individual judgment and a shortage of skilled personnel.The device allows for a complete inspection of the tuna in 12 seconds and can be operated by one person, offering potential labor and operational efficiency savings of up to 80%. By enabling rapid screening of large quantities of frozen tuna, the device reduces the burden on skilled workers, significantly improves the efficiency of the selection process, and contributes to reducing costs and addressing labor shortages. It also allows for greater accuracy and reduces the opportunity cost of mislabeling the high-value, fatty "bintoro" portions of the fish.The device was trialed at Toyo Reizo Co., Ltd. in 2024, Kato Tokuhiro, Executive Officer comments:“Tuna, gathered from fishing grounds around the world over approximately a year by deep-sea longline fishing vessels, is landed, sorted, and distributed nationwide at Shimizu Port in Shizuoka Prefecture. Each day, skilled professionals assess the quality of over 1,000 tuna, sorting them within seconds while maintaining their frozen state, before transporting them to ultra-low-temperature storage facilities (below -50°C). Before shipment, the tail-cut grading process is conducted by expert assessors, who examine the cross-section of the tuna’s tail to determine its quality. Based on this assessment, the tuna is shipped to respective customers. The newly developed technology is a groundbreaking innovation that enables precise assessment of internal fat content during the tail-cut grading process, addressing existing challenges in the industry. Looking ahead, we will continue to engage in initiatives that involve regional collaboration, industry-academia partnerships, and startups, striving to solve challenges in the fisheries industry through innovation.”Fujitsu and Tokai University, which is known for its research into tuna flavor, began the joint research project in April 2022 to develop ultrasound analysis AI technology. In December 2023, validation tests on albacore tuna demonstrated that the AI technology could determine fat content with a higher accuracy rate than tail-cut selection. To commercialize this research, Ishida Tec developed automated inspection equipment optimized for ultrasound analysis AI, and Sonofai incorporated the ultrasound analysis AI technology licensed and technically supported by Fujitsu into the SONOFAI T-01 device.Sonofai plans to add a range of functions, including the ability to determine freshness, firmness, etc., and expand the range of compatible fish species. In the future, the company aims to contribute to the management of aquatic resources by enabling the device to measure body length and weight for all inspected fish. Furthermore, by utilizing the device within Ishida Tec's planned system for sorting and evaluating the quality of frozen skipjack tuna immediately after landing, it will be possible to perform instantaneous quality-based sorting at large fishing ports, contributing to significant labor savings and increased added value.The device was developed with a subsidy from the Marine Open Innovation Project (MaOI Project) which is being promoted by Shizuoka Prefecture.Yasutomo Suzuki, Governor of Shizuoka comments:"The fishing industry is a cornerstone of Shizuoka Prefecture’s economy, and its enduring health is paramount. This device offers the potential to revitalize the industry by supporting the discovery of previously overlooked high-quality tuna and enabling the development of valuable marine products. In addition, automating the selection process will reduce the burden of securing personnel and contribute to the sustainability fisheries. Shizuoka Prefecture will continue to work with businesses to create and share new value on a global scale."(1) Source: Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency report (Japanese Only)About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

ZENMEV Launches New MEV-Based Staking Model amid Global Market Shakeup ACN Newswire

ZENMEV Launches New MEV-Based Staking Model amid Global Market Shakeup

NEW YORK, Apr 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In response to heightened market volatility and investor uncertainty, ZENMEV has introduced a new staking model leveraging Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) to offer structurally resilient returns.A New Frontier in Long-Term Investment Strategies Based on MEVGlobal stock markets have recently experienced significant downturns due to tariff issues and fluctuating interest rates, causing widespread investor anxiety over plummeting asset values. Financial experts suggest avoiding panic-driven, short-term selling and instead recommend stable long-term investment strategies resilient to market volatility. One alternative gaining institutional attention is staking based on Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), with the ZENMEV platform emerging as a leading player. Unlike traditional major exchanges or regular staking services, ZENMEV returns the structural profits generated from blockchain mechanisms directly to ordinary users, quickly becoming a prominent choice.Market Volatility and Emergence of Staking AlternativesAccording to recent economic reports, growing recession fears and geopolitical risks have weakened trust in traditional stock markets. Historically, investors have gravitated toward safer assets like gold or bonds in such environments, but cryptocurrencies have recently emerged as alternative investments. However, their significant volatility remains a psychological hurdle during bear markets.In these circumstances, staking has been increasingly popular as a more stable income strategy. Users lock assets for a certain period to help validate network transactions and earn rewards in the form of block rewards or transaction fees. Notable examples include Ethereum (since transitioning to Proof of Stake), Cosmos (ATOM), and Tezos (XTZ), all providing annual fixed interest rates. Staking helps minimize impulsive short-term trading decisions, allowing investors to accumulate assets steadily.However, typical staking models rely solely on block rewards, limiting their profitability. Achieving satisfying returns can be challenging without significant market growth. To address this limitation, staking strategies utilizing MEV have emerged prominently, with ZENMEV leading the way.Understanding ZENMEV Redefining the MEV Ecosystem MEV refers to profits generated by blockchain validators who rearrange or insert transactions within a block to extract additional value. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) activities such as large swaps, arbitrage, or collateral liquidations create MEV opportunities. Historically, these opportunities were accessible only to specialized bots, large validators, or miners, attracting criticism as an exclusive insider game.ZENMEV disrupts this exclusivity by transparently distributing MEV gains to everyday users. Users deposit assets like Ethereum (ETH) or Solana (SOL), and ZENMEV’s MEV trading bots, known as Zenbots, analyze on-chain data in real time to identify and execute MEV opportunities within milliseconds. For example, if a large buy order appears on a decentralized exchange, ZENMEV strategically purchases the asset at a lower price immediately before executing the large order, realizing risk-free profits from the subsequent price increase.These profits are instantly and transparently distributed to stakeholders through ZENMEV’s smart contracts. Users simply deposit assets and automatically share in the structural profits derived from blockchain mechanisms. This added value distinguishes ZENMEV from conventional staking, which relies only on block rewards.Stable Returns in Bear Markets through Market-Neutral StrategiesBear markets usually lead to reduced asset prices and declining trading volumes in cryptocurrency markets. However, ZENMEV remains attractive as MEV profits derive from volatility and trading activities rather than asset price direction. For instance, front-running strategies capture profits by quickly executing transactions before large orders that push prices upward, independent of overall market trends.Provided meaningful trading volumes or volatility persist, MEV opportunities remain present even during downturns. Research suggests MEV opportunities continue to emerge unless markets become completely stagnant. Thus, MEV’s market-neutral strategy offers relative stability during bear markets, occasionally surpassing typical validator rewards. This structural advantage underscores ZENMEV’s growing appeal in challenging market conditions.Core Strength: Advanced Zenbot Algorithms and Mempool ScanningZENMEV’s robust performance relies heavily on sophisticated algorithms and mempool scanning technologies. The platform efficiently processes thousands of transactions per second using deep learning models, enabling Zenbots to accurately identify and swiftly execute profitable opportunities such as liquidity pools, significant swaps, and rapid token price fluctuations. These AI-driven bots prioritize transactions strategically to maximize profit, ensuring competitive execution within blockchain networks.Rapid Multichain Expansion and Strategic Global VC InvestmentThough MEV discussions commonly focus on Ethereum and BNB chains, ZENMEV also seeks opportunities across networks like Solana and Cosmos. By customizing strategies to each blockchain’s unique characteristics, ZENMEV allows users seamless access to diversified MEV opportunities from multiple chains through a single platform.ZENMEV recently attracted strategic investments totaling approximately $140 million from prominent Web3 venture capitalists. These funds will accelerate global market expansion, enhance AI-driven MEV detection models, and further strengthen ZENMEV’s competitive position. The company is actively expanding into North America, Europe, and Asia, solidifying its global footprint.Combining Node Rewards with MEV ProfitsZENMEV’s staking model uniquely combines basic validator rewards with additional MEV-generated income. Users who participate as validators typically receive standard block rewards but also benefit from additional profits derived from MEV strategies, significantly enhancing overall annual returns.The platform simplifies this process by automatically identifying and capitalizing on MEV opportunities, requiring no specialized technical knowledge from users. Participants simply stake assets as usual and benefit from structurally enhanced returns, making sophisticated MEV strategies broadly accessible.Mental Stability and Long-term Investment Approach in Bear MarketsDuring bear markets, investor psychology often drives premature selling due to fear of further losses. ZENMEV’s staking model mitigates these emotional decisions by offering consistent returns from MEV strategies, encouraging investors to maintain a long-term perspective despite short-term volatility.ZENMEV’s continuous, AI-driven monitoring of blockchain activities eliminates the need for users to track news and market movements manually. By capturing fleeting profitable transactions automatically, ZENMEV safeguards asset values and bolsters investor confidence even during downturns.Conclusion and OutlookZENMEV staking emerges as a uniquely robust investment alternative amid current market uncertainties, effectively harnessing blockchain inefficiencies to generate consistent returns. By democratizing previously inaccessible MEV strategies and automating the process with advanced AI technology, ZENMEV significantly enhances traditional staking models.With multi-chain capabilities, cutting-edge AI integration, and recent strategic funding, ZENMEV’s growth potential appears substantial. As market-neutral and volatility-responsive strategies gain prominence, platforms like ZENMEV could significantly shape the future landscape of decentralized finance.For detailed information, visit ZENMEV’s official website or explore technical documentation.Social LinksCoinMarketCap: https://coinmarketcap.com/community/profile/zenmev/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/zenmev/X: https://x.com/zenmevTelegram: https://t.me/ZENMEV_ChannelMedium: https://medium.com/@zenmevMedia contactBrand: ZENMEVContact: Media teamWebsite: https://zenmev.com/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Bagaimanapun, kumpulan yang lebih besar — kira-kira 20 hingga 30 warga Korea Utara — dikatakan telah mengambil bahagian dalam kejadian itu.Semasa lawatan yang menyusul insiden Jun 2024 itu, Putin dan pemimpin tertinggi Korea Utara, Kim Jong Un, menandatangani pakatan pertahanan penting."Jika salah satu pihak diletakkan dalam situasi perang disebabkan oleh pencerobohan bersenjata dari sesebuah negara atau beberapa negara, pihak yang satu lagi menyediakan bantuan ketenteraan dan bantuan lain tanpa berlengah dengan menggerakkan semua cara yang dimilikinya," kata perjanjian itu.Pada Oktober 2024, Pentagon mengesahkan bahawa Korea Utara telah menghantar tentera ke Rusia di tengah-tengah perang yang sedang berlaku dengan Ukraine. Kemudian Penasihat Komunikasi Keselamatan Negara, John Kirby, berkata A.S. telah memaklumkan Ukraine mengenai situasi itu.

Masa semakin suntuk untuk menghalang Iran daripada membuat bom nuklear: ‘Wilayah berbahaya’

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Donald Trump pada hari Isnin berkata situasi dengan Iran memasuki "wilayah berbahaya" ketika beliau mengumumkan pentadbirannya akan bercakap dengan Iran pada hari Sabtu.Walaupun belum diketahui apa yang akan dicapai oleh perbincangan itu, pakar terus memberi amaran bahawa masa semakin suntuk bukan sahaja untuk menyekat tetapi juga untuk menggunakan alat sedia ada untuk menentang penolakan Tehran terhadap undang-undang antarabangsa, mekanisme yang dikenali sebagai sekatan "snapback"."Ini adalah satu-satunya masa kita mempunyai keupayaan untuk mengenakan sekatan baharu ke atas Iran di mana kita tidak memerlukan bantuan Rusia dan China, dan kita boleh melakukannya secara unilateral," kata Gabriel Noronha dari Jewish Institute for National Security of America kepada Digital. Noronha ialah pakar Iran dan bekas penasihat khas untuk Iran Action Group di Jabatan Negara.Keupayaan untuk menggunakan sekatan snapback ke atas Iran akan tamat pada 18 Oktober 2025, yang bertepatan dengan masa Iran memegang jawatan presiden United Nations Security Council (UNSC) untuk tempoh satu bulan secara bergilir.Peruntukan untuk sekatan snapback telah digubal di bawah UNSC Resolution 2231, yang dipersetujui hanya beberapa hari selepas Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) ditandatangani pada 2015 sebagai cara untuk memastikan jika Iran , sekatan antarabangsa yang ketat boleh dikenakan semula.JCPOA semakin dianggap sebagai perjanjian yang runtuh selepas AS menarik diri pada 2018 di bawah pentadbiran Trump pertama, diikuti dengan pelanggaran perjanjian nuklear yang semakin ketara oleh Iran.Ini telah memuncak dalam pengembangan pesat program nuklear Tehran dan penilaian oleh badan pengawas nuklear PBB awal tahun ini bahawa Tehran telah mengumpul uranium gred hampir senjata yang mencukupi untuk jika ia diperkaya lagi.Negara-negara Eropah selama bertahun-tahun telah enggan melaksanakan sekatan snapback dalam usaha untuk cuba menggalakkan Tehran untuk kembali ke meja rundingan dan mencari penyelesaian secara diplomatik untuk menamatkan program nuklearnya.Mana-mana peserta dalam JCPOA boleh secara unilateral menyeru sekatan snapback jika Iran didapati telah melanggar syarat perjanjian. Tetapi AS, yang telah menyeru snapback sejak 2018, didapati oleh PBB dan semua ahli JCPOA tidak lagi layak dari segi undang-undang untuk menggunakan mekanisme sekatan selepas pengundurannya daripada perjanjian antarabangsa.Tetapi apabila Iran terus membangunkan program nuklearnya, nada di kalangan pemimpin Eropah juga semakin kecewa.Menteri luar Perancis minggu lepas mencadangkan bahawa jika Iran tidak bersetuju dengan perjanjian nuklear dan menghentikan programnya, maka campur tangan ketenteraan kelihatan "hampir tidak dapat dielakkan.""Iran tidak boleh memiliki senjata nuklear," Menteri Luar Jean-Noel Barrot pada hari Rabu."Keutamaan kami adalah untuk mencapai perjanjian yang secara sah dan berkekalan menyekat program nuklear Iran," tambahnya.Masih tidak jelas berapa lama lagi negara-negara Eropah akan cuba bertahan untuk perbincangan dengan Iran, kerana Trump telah berkata beliau semakin dan telah mengancam konfrontasi ketenteraan langsung, walaupun beliau telah menjelaskan kesediaan pentadbirannya untuk membincangkan perjanjian dengan Tehran.Dengan Perancis berkhidmat sebagai presiden UNSC pada bulan April dan kerenah birokrasi yang boleh digunakan oleh Rusia, ahli-ahli UNSC yang menyokong menyekat program nuklear Iran mesti segera menyeru sekatan snapback, kata Noronha."Ia mengambil masa kira-kira enam minggu untuk dilaksanakan dengan betul," kata Noronha, pengarang "Iran Sanctions, U.N. Security Council Resolution 2231, and the Path to Snapback," yang . "Dan kedua, kerana pengagihan jawatan presiden dan kepimpinan Majlis Keselamatan PBB adalah berat sebelah ke arah pemimpin yang lebih menguntungkan sekarang pada musim bunga sebelum ia pergi ke kepimpinan yang agak bermusuhan pada musim panas dan musim gugur."Pakar itu berkata ini adalah saat yang jarang berlaku untuk UNSC, yang dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini menjadi semakin tidak berkesan dalam mencapai kemenangan geopolitik yang besar kerana ia umumnya terbahagi antara AS, UK dan Perancis di satu pihak dan Rusia dan China di pihak yang lain.Satu undi veto sudah cukup untuk menyekat resolusi daripada digubal, dan kemajuan dalam majlis itu telah menjadi tidak aktif berikutan pencerobohan Rusia ke atas Ukraine.Tetapi walaupun Rusia membantah pengenaan semula sekatan ke atas Iran, kerana Tehran telah menjadi , ia sebenarnya mempunyai sangat sedikit pilihan untuk menyekat mekanisme snapback yang dipersetujuinya sebelum ini, selagi sekurang-kurangnya satu negara lain benar-benar menyeru alat sekatan itu."Ini adalah satu-satunya masa ini pernah berlaku di PBB sebelum ini," kata Noronha. "Mereka pada dasarnya berkata, apabila kami menggunakan snapback, apa yang ia lakukan ialah ia mengatakan sekatan PBB akan kembali secara automatik melainkan terdapat undian oleh majlis untuk membenarkan pelepasan sekatan kekal dalam buku."Mekanisme snapback akan menguatkuasakan secara sah semua 15 negara anggota UNSC untuk mengenakan semula sekatan ke atas Iran, termasuk Rusia dan mana-mana negara yang mungkin bersimpati dengan Tehran.Jika mekanisme snapback tamat tempoh pada bulan Oktober, tangan PBB mungkin terikat apabila ia datang untuk menentang program nuklear Iran, kerana tidak mungkin sebarang resolusi baharu mengenai isu itu akan dapat diluluskan melalui majlis itu memandangkan iklim geopolitik semasa antara Barat dan Rusia.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bekas PM British Boris Johnson diserang burung unta di taman Texas: ‘Oh, f****** hell!’

(SeaPRwire) - Menurut laporan, bekas Perdana Menteri Britain, Boris Johnson, telah diserang oleh lawan yang berbeza semasa dalam perjalanan keluarga ke taman safari di Texas.Johnson sudah biasa diserang secara lisan oleh wartawan dan ahli politik saingan, tetapi beliau menerima serangan yang berbeza daripada penyerang yang mengejutkan, seekor burung unta yang menjulang setinggi tujuh kaki dengan kuku sepanjang empat inci.Isteri Johnson, Carrie, menyiarkan video kejadian itu di Instagram, yang menunjukkan bekas pemimpin itu di dalam kereta bersama keluarganya.Rakaman itu menunjukkan Johnson menghulurkan tangannya keluar dari kereta dan kelihatan memanggil burung unta itu sambil salah seorang daripada tiga anaknya mencondong ke arah tingkap. Haiwan itu dilihat menjulurkan lehernya ke dalam kereta sebelum menggigit Johnson, mungkin di tangan."Christ!" kata bekas pemimpin Tory itu. "Oh, f****** hell!"Anak-anak Johnson boleh didengari ketawa."Terlalu lucu untuk tidak dikongsi," tulis Carrie Johnson mengenai video itu.Penonton nampaknya terhibur."Reaksi Boris sangat British," tulis seorang pengulas.Johnson sebahagian besarnya tidak muncul di khalayak ramai sejak meletak jawatan sebagai perdana menteri pada 2022 berikutan beberapa siri kontroversi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump kata AS akan berurusan ‘secara langsung’ dengan Iran dalam pertemuan peringkat tinggi pada hari Sabtu

` tags. ` (SeaPRwire) - Presiden pada hari Isnin berkata A.S. akan berunding "secara langsung" dengan Iran dalam satu mesyuarat peringkat tinggi yang dijadualkan berlangsung pada hari Sabtu ini."Kami mempunyai mesyuarat yang sangat besar pada hari Sabtu, dan kami berurusan dengan mereka secara langsung," kata Trump kepada pemberita dari Pejabat Oval sambil duduk di sebelah Perdana Menteri Israel Benjamin Netanyahu.Mesyuarat yang diumumkan itu adalah kali pertama A.S. akan sejak pentadbiran Trump sebelumnya, apabila ia menarik diri daripada Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) pada 2018."Kita akan lihat apa yang boleh berlaku. Saya rasa semua orang bersetuju bahawa membuat perjanjian adalah lebih baik daripada melakukan perkara yang jelas," kata Trump merujuk kepada ancamannya minggu lepas di mana dia berkata dia akan jika ia tidak memasuki rundingan untuk menamatkan program nuklearnya."[Itu] bukan sesuatu yang saya mahu terlibat, atau secara jujur, yang Israel mahu terlibat, jika mereka boleh mengelakkannya," sambung Trump. "Kami akan lihat jika kami boleh mengelakkannya."Ia menjadi wilayah yang sangat berbahaya," Trump memberi amaran. "Dan semoga perbincangan itu berjaya."Presiden enggan memperincikan di mana perbincangan itu akan berlangsung atau bagaimana ia akan berbeza daripada JCPOA, dengan hanya mengatakan bahawa ia akan menjadi "berbeza" dan "lebih kuat."Berikutan pengunduran A.S. daripada perjanjian itu, perjanjian nuklear itu pada dasarnya runtuh walaupun penandatangan yang tinggal – yang termasuk U.K., China, Perancis, Rusia dan Jerman – dan Iran mula membangunkan program nuklearnya dengan pesat.Awal tahun ini, badan pengawas nuklear U.N. memberi amaran bahawa Tehran telah mengumpulkan uranium yang diperkaya hampir gred senjata yang mencukupi untuk dibina jika uranium itu diperkaya lagi."Saya rasa jika perbincangan tidak berjaya dengan Iran... Iran akan berada dalam bahaya yang besar," kata Trump pada hari Isnin.Tidak jelas sama ada Israel, atau mana-mana negara lain, akan terlibat dalam perbincangan itu, walaupun Netanyahu menjelaskan bahawa Jerusalem selaras dengan A.S. dalam mendapatkan perjanjian untuk menamatkan program nuklear Iran."Kami berdua bersatu dalam matlamat bahawa Iran tidak akan mendapat senjata nuklear, yang boleh dilakukan secara diplomatik dengan cara yang penuh, seperti yang dilakukan di Libya," kata Netanyahu kepada pemberita. "Saya rasa itu adalah perkara yang baik."Tetapi apa pun yang berlaku, kita perlu memastikan bahawa Iran tidak mempunyai senjata nuklear," tambahnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

GA-ASI Inks Collaboration Deal With South Korea’s Hanwha ACN Newswire

GA-ASI Inks Collaboration Deal With South Korea’s Hanwha

SAN DIEGO, CA, Apr 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace have agreed to collaborate on the development and production of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for the global defense market. The joint effort follows the successful completion of a major flight demonstration in 2024 when the two companies launched a GA-ASI MQ-1C Gray Eagle® STOL (GE STOL) UAS from the South Korean Navy's amphibious landing ship ROKS Dokdo (LPH-6111) as it was underway at sea off the coast of Pohang, South Korea.GA-ASI and Hanwha Aerospace collaborated on a historic ship to land flight demonstration using Gray Eagle STOL on Nov. 12, 2024.The demonstration illustrated the ability of the GE STOL to safely operate on many types of aircraft-capable ships, which opens myriad new ways for the U.S. and its allies to use this UAS to support multi-domain operations. It also paved the way for GA-ASI and Hanwha to sign this new agreement to jointly invest in and pursue new UAS business opportunities."We're excited to extend and deepen our business relationship with Hanwha," said GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue, who supervised the November 12, 2024, at-sea demonstration. "Our test flight with Gray Eagle STOL was well-received by the Republic of Korea Navy, and we know Hanwha is ready to invest to grow a UAS business with GA-ASI both in Korea and the U.S."Gray Eagle STOL-which stands for short takeoff and landing-is the only medium-altitude, long-endurance aircraft of its kind with the ability to operate without a catapult or arresting gear from fight deck-equipped warships such as amphibious ships and aircraft carriers. It additionally enables true runway independence by operating from unimproved fields and roads, beaches, parking lots, etc.Hanwha Aerospace plans to invest more than 300 billion KRW (US $203.5M) in the development and production facilities for GE STOL and UAS engines, expand research and development activities, and provide production infrastructure in both South Korea and with GA-ASI in the U.S. This is in addition to GA-ASI's past and ongoing investment in UAS STOL development. Hanwha also plans to create jobs by securing talent in related fields and to foster the domestic (Korean) UAS industry ecosystem by discovering domestic parts and material partner companies. GA-ASI expects the endeavor to create nearly 10,000 jobs based upon the expected sales and support over the next 10 years, and at least 500 jobs in the U.S."Hanwha Aerospace views unmanned systems as a strategic pillar for the future of defense. Through our collaboration with GA-ASI, we aim to strengthen sovereign defense capabilities, expand Korea's presence in the global UAS market, and contribute to a more robust ROK-U.S. alliance, said Dong Kwan Kim, Vice Chairman of Hanwha Group.Previously known as Mojave, Gray Eagle STOL leverages extensive commonality with the well-proven, in-production Gray Eagle 25M airframe to offer a highly capable new aircraft at greatly reduced cost and technical risk compared to a clean-sheet design. Gray Eagle STOL has recorded a number of first-of-their-kind aviation milestones, including the flight from the Dokdo, launch and recovery aboard the British aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales (09), live-fire testing at Yuma Proving Ground, Ariz., and several others. Gray Eagle STOL offers international militaries a unique platform: a full-featured medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS with a significant battlefield payload that can take off in short distances from ships, unimproved surfaces, or other highly combat-relevant locations.About Hanwha AerospaceHanwha is South Korea's seventh-largest business group, with innovative businesses in the areas of aerospace & mechatronics, clean energy and ocean solutions, finance, and retail and services.
