India Detains Three Sanctioned Tankers Linked to Iran

India has detained three oil tankers tied to Iran and already under U.S. sanctions, marking a notable escalation in its maritime enforcement efforts. The vessels were intercepted in Indian waters earlier this month after authorities identified irregularities in their operations and documentation. Officials familiar with the situation say the tankers were suspected of participating in ship‑to‑ship transfers designed to obscure the origin of their cargo. Such practices have drawn increasing scrutiny as India strengthens monitoring of its coastal zones and aligns more closely with global efforts to curb sanctions evasion. The detentions also come at a moment of deepening strategic cooperation between New Delhi and Washington. While India maintains an independent foreign policy, the move signals a firmer stance on illicit maritime activity and a willingness to enforce international compliance standards within its jurisdiction.

Wall Street gains as Treasury market stabilizes, US government averts shutdown

 

On Friday, Wall Street saw gains as the Treasury market stabilized and the US government averted a shutdown. The S&P 500 index rose by 0.88% to 4,780.94 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.54% to 37,468.61 points. The Nasdaq 100 index also rose by 1.47% to 16,982.29 points.

The US government avoided a partial shutdown, which helped stabilize the Treasury market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury steadied at 4.14%.

This is good news for investors, as the stock market continues to recoup the week’s earlier losses. The gains are expected to continue as companies continue to turn in better profits for the summer than expected.
