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.

Aurora Alert: Northern Lights to Dazzle Canadian Skies This Week


A spectacular display of the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, is expected to light up the night skies across Canada this week. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a geomagnetic storm watch, predicting that the northern lights will be visible as far south as Oregon and the U.S. Midwest, putting Canada right in the path for a breathtaking light show.

The solar storm responsible for this phenomenon is expected to peak on Tuesday night, with strong G3 solar storms forecasted for Tuesday and moderate G2 storms on Wednesday and Thursday. This means that Canadians from coast to coast may have the opportunity to witness the night sky erupt in vibrant colors.

For the best viewing experience, it’s recommended to get away from city lights and look to the north. The ideal time to see the aurora is within an hour or two of midnight, or between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. Clear skies and minimal moonlight will enhance the visibility of this natural wonder.

So, if you’re in Canada this week, don’t forget to look up and enjoy the celestial spectacle!
