Suez Canal blocked after huge container ship wedged across it – BBC News
A giant container ship the length of four football pitches has become wedged across Egypt’s Suez Canal, blocking one of the world’s busiest trade routes.
Dozens of vessels are stuck, waiting for rescue boats to free the 400m-long (1,312ft) ship, which was knocked off course by strong winds.
Egypt has reopened the canal’s older channel to divert some traffic until the grounded ship can move again.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

All shipping at this scale should cease. The world we live in is the only known world with life, and the only known world with such diversity of life that is eradicated at this rate. Please stop. Humankind is an obvious plague to this planet. Every day several irreplaceble species are lost forever, millions of years of evolution lost because of short-term capitalism, money-making yacht-di*** capitalism is the downfall of humanity

The anchor says the ship "lost power" @0:38 @0:56 the man says it's from "high winds" I say it was sabotage/terrorism. Look at what Klaus Schwaab says 1 year later… that the supply chains will be deeply affected.

Now a Greek cargo ship blocked the canal due to engine failure. Do they have to pay compensation to Suez Canal authority for stopping the traffic?

It seems almost intentionally naive to have such an easily obstructed or otherwise blockable trade route. I realize the undertaking and the expense, but it would probably be a good idea to update this canal, and build in some redundancy (alternate route and/or workaround). How long before an "act of terrorism" targets a place like this and renders it useless for months or even years?? The only reason it hasn't happened yet, is because the people who stand to lose the most from such an attack, happen to be the ones who orchestrate them. But once something happens, or they decide it's worth it, mark my words, this place WILL BE targeted successfully, along with who knows what else, and bam, instant depression….

This isn't first time that Japan fcked the world. Blame 30MPH wind for blockage is another lies created by Japanese. Japan stopped Russia from leaking Chernobyl nuclear accident water into ocean. Now they are saying that they will leak Fukushima radioactive water. If it's clean then why are they fighting it so hard from IAEA from verify their data. Japanese government don't have to say that they are lying about how radiated Fukushima water is because their action tells it all. Japan with many earthquakes must not have any nuclear power station because it's danger to the world.

It was a successful test run for china
China did the Suez traffic jam to test what would happen ???
And why did china do it ??
Answer to see if it could block the ships from West countries like Europe and USA for example war ships
So why would china want to block USA war ships from coming into Asians water.
Simple china will attack Taiwan but USA and Europe will try to interfere so in order to test if they can block their war ship from coming they have conducted a successful test run of the blockage lol😂😂😂
Yes I am a genius
