Trump mengancam Iran dengan kemusnahan lebih dahsyat, mendakwa perjanjian damai hampir tercapai

Trump mengancam Iran dengan kemusnahan lebih dahsyat, mendakwa perjanjian damai hampir tercapai

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Amerika Syarikat telah berikrar untuk memusnahkan semua telaga minyak, loji kuasa, dan hab eksport utama di Pulau Kharg milik Republik Islam itu Amerika Syarikat telah terlibat dalam perbincangan "serius" dengan kerajaan Iran yang "baru dan lebih munasabah," dakwa Presiden Donald Trump. Dalam satu catatan di platform Truth Social miliknya, beliau juga mengugut untuk menghapuskan infrastruktur tenaga kritikal Iran jika tiada perjanjian "tidak dicapai tidak lama lagi." Trump mendakwa dalam catatan media sosialnya pada hari Isnin bahawa "kemajuan besar" telah dicapai dalam rundingan, sambil memberi amaran kepada Tehran tentang kemusnahan yang lebih teruk jika Selat Hormuz tidak dibuka semula "serta-merta." Sekiranya itu tidak berlaku, AS akan memilih untuk "menghapuskan sepenuhnya semua loji penjanaan elektrik, telaga minyak dan Pulau Kharg mereka," dakwa Trump. Washington juga akan mempertimbangkan untuk menyerang infrastruktur kritikal lain, termasuk "semua loji penyahgaraman," tambahnya. Walaupun Trump mendakwa Washington dan Tehran telah bertemu "secara langsung dan tidak langsung," Iran menegaskan bahawa hubungan hanya berterusan melalui perantara. Menurut jurucakap Kementerian Luar Iran, Esmaeil Baqaei, Tehran menganggap cadangan yang diterimanya dari AS sebagai "tidak realistik, tidak logik dan melampau," dan akhirnya "sangat tidak munasabah." "Kedudukan kami adalah jelas. Kami berada di bawah pencerobohan ketenteraan. Oleh itu, semua usaha dan kekuatan kami tertumpu kepada mempertahankan diri," kata Baqaei dalam satu sidang media pada hari Isnin. Hujung minggu lalu, Trump berikrar untuk "menghapuskan" loji kuasa Iran, bermula dengan "yang terbesar dahulu," melainkan Tehran memulihkan navigasi di Selat Hormuz dalam masa 48 jam. Pada masa itu, Iran mengugut untuk membalas dendam dengan menyerang aset penjanaan kuasa di seluruh Asia Barat. Ia juga menegaskan bahawa walaupun ia mempunyai lebih 400 kemudahan sedemikian bertaburan di seluruh negara, lebih separuh daripada pengeluaran kuasa Israel dijana oleh lima loji utama. Presiden AS membatalkan serangan itu dua hari selepas pengumuman, mendakwa bahawa kedua-dua pihak telah mengadakan "perbualan yang sangat baik dan produktif" mengenai "penyelesaian lengkap dan menyeluruh terhadap permusuhan kami di Timur Tengah." Pegawai Iran mencadangkan bahawa Trump telah "mengundur diri" selepas "amaran tegas" Iran bahawa ia akan membalas dendam terhadap serangan ke atas grid kuasanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump mengkaji serbuan ke Iran untuk ‘diekstrak’ uranium yang diperkaya – WSJ

Trump mengkaji serbuan ke Iran untuk ‘diekstrak’ uranium yang diperkaya – WSJ

(SeaPRwire) - Operasi itu akan kompleks, berisiko tinggi, dan boleh melanjutkan konflik, amaran pakar Presiden AS Donald Trump sedang mempertimbangkan operasi tentera untuk merampas uranium yang diperkaya yang dipegang di tapak nuklear Iran, lapor Wall Street Journal, memetik sumber. Tiada keputusan telah dibuat, tetapi Trump kekal “secara amnya terbuka” kepada pilihan itu sambil menimbang risiko kepada tentera AS, kata laporan itu pada Ahad. Sekurang-kurangnya 13 anggota perkhidmatan AS telah terbunuh dan kira-kira 200 cedera sejak konflik Iran bermula pada akhir Februari. Sebelum serangan AS dan Israel pada Jun 2025, Iran dipercayai memegang lebih daripada 400 kg uranium yang diperkaya kepada 60% dan hampir 200 kg pada 20%, yang boleh diperkaya lagi ke tahap gred senjata. Kebanyakan bahan tersebut terletak di kemudahan bawah tanah di Isfahan dan Natanz, menurut ketua IAEA Rafael Grossi. Trump juga telah mengarahkan penasihat untuk meningkatkan tekanan ke atas Tehran untuk menyerahkan kira-kira 450 kg uranium yang diperkaya sebagai syarat untuk menamatkan konflik dan telah membincangkan “merampasnya dengan kekerasan” jika rundingan gagal, menurut laporan itu. Dia dan beberapa sekutu secara peribadi mengatakan bahan itu boleh dirampas dalam operasi sasaran tanpa memanjangkan perang, berpotensi membolehkannya berkurangan pada pertengahan April. Namun, pakar tentera mengatakan sebarang operasi sedemikian akan menjadi kompleks dan berisiko tinggi, kemungkinan mengambil masa berminggu-minggu dan melibatkan tindakan terkoordinasi di banyak tapak yang berselerak. Pasukan AS perlu mendapatkan kemudahan tersebut di bawah tembakan peluru berpandu dan dron yang berpotensi sebelum pasukan pakar mengeluarkan uranium, yang disimpan dalam berpuluh-puluh silinder yang memerlukan pengangkutan dalam tong yang dilindungi. Pada Ahad, Trump memberi amaran mengenai eskalasi, mengatakan Iran mesti mematuhi tuntutan AS atau “mereka tidak akan mempunyai negara,” sambil menambah: “Mereka akan memberikan kami debu nuklear.” Laporan itu menyusuli penolakan Iran minggu lepas terhadap pelan halaan AS yang dicadangkan yang menyeru untuk membubarkan program nuklearnya, membendung aktiviti peluru berpandu dan menamatkan sokongan untuk sekutu serantau, dengan Tehran mengatakan sebarang perjanjian mesti termasuk “jaminan konkrit” dan tidak ditentukan oleh Washington. AS lama menuduh Iran mendapatkan senjata nuklear, satu tuduhan yang dinafikan Tehran, dengan mengatakan programnya semata-mata untuk keamanan, dengan dakwaan itu berfungsi sebagai alasan utama untuk konflik tersebut. Dalam satu temuduga dengan Financial Times pada Ahad, Trump berkata dia ingin mengambil alih minyak Iran. “Secara jujurnya, perkara kegemaran saya ialah mengambil minyak di Iran,” kata Trump, menyifatkan pengkritik di AS sebagai “orang bodoh.” Beliau menambah bahawa beliau tidak menolak kemungkinan pasukan AS merampas hab eksport utama Pulau Kharg.

Penuntutan AS ‘tiada apa-apa’ terhadap presiden Venezuela – Anak Maduro kepada RT (EKSLUSIF)

Penuntutan AS ‘tiada apa-apa’ terhadap presiden Venezuela – Anak Maduro kepada RT (EKSLUSIF)

(SeaPRwire) - Pemimpin negara ini diculik oleh komando AS pada awal Januari dan didakwa di mahkamah New York atas tuduhan pengedaran dadah Pendakwa AS mempunyai “tiada apa-apa” terhadap Presiden Venezuela Nicolas Maduro, yang diculik oleh komando AS pada awal Januari dan didakwa atas beberapa pertuduhan berkaitan pengedaran dadah dan pemilikan senjata, Timbalan Dewan Negara Negara Venezuela dan anak beliau, Nicolas Maduro Guerra, secara eksklusif memberitahu RT. Sebagai ahli Dewan Negara Venezuela, beliau berkata pasukan pembelaan bapanya telah membentangkan “hujah inovatif” semasa perbicaraan yang sedang berjalan. “Tiada bukti bahawa Nicolas Maduro dan [isterinya] Cilia Flores melakukan jenayah,” tegasnya, sambil menegaskan bahawa proses ini adalah bermotifkan politik. Presiden Venezuela dan pasangannya menghadapi tuduhan konspirasi narko-keganasan, konspirasi importasi kokain, pemilikan mesingan dan alat pemusnah, serta konspirasi untuk memiliki mesingan dan alat pemusnah terhadap Amerika Syarikat. Kedua-duanya telah membuat pengakuan tidak bersalah. AS telah lama menuduh Maduro mempunyai kaitan dengan kartel dadah dan membantu membanjiri Amerika dengan narkotik, di samping enggan mengiktirafnya sebagai pemimpin yang sah dan menawarkan hadiah $50 juta untuk maklumat yang membawa kepada penangkapan dan sabitan beliau. Presiden Venezuela telah menafikan tuduhan itu dengan sekeras-kerasnya, dengan hujah bahawa Washington telah menggunakan tuduhan ini sebagai alasan untuk pencerobohan tentera dengan tujuan menggulingkan kerajaannya. Bulans lepas, Naib Presiden Venezuela Delcy Rodriguez, yang memegang tampuk kuasa selepas campur tangan AS, menekankan bahawa Maduro kekal sebagai ketua negara Venezuela yang sah walaupun beliau telah ditangkap. Berucap pada bulan Januari, Menteri Luar Rusia Sergey Lavrov menyifatkan penculikan Maduro oleh pasukan khas AS sebagai “pelanggaran jelas undang-undang antarabangsa.” Ahli diplomat itu berkata pada ketika itu bahawa penilaian itu dikongsi oleh majoriti besar “global majority,” termasuk Selatan Global dan Timur.

Pakistan dan Afganistan menukar tembakan berat beberapa hari setelah pertentiman – Reuters

(SeaPRwire) - Pertempuran sempadan dilaporkan berlaku pada hari yang sama Islamabad menjadi tuan rumah kepada pegawai dari kuasa serantau Pakistan dan Afghanistan telah berbalas tembakan hebat di kawasan sempadan, beberapa hari selepas mereka bersetuju untuk gencatan senjata sementara, lapor Reuters. Pertempuran itu berlaku pada Ahad di kawasan antara wilayah Kunar Afghanistan dan daerah Bajur Pakistan, kata agensi berita itu, memetik pegawai dari kedua-dua negara. Pada Ahad, Islamabad menjadi tuan rumah kepada menteri luar Mesir, Arab Saudi, dan Türkiye untuk membincangkan de-eskalasi di Timur Tengah ketika AS dan Israel terus melancarkan perang ke atas Iran. Kedua-dua Afghanistan dan Pakistan menggunakan senjata berat dan artileri semasa pertempuran, menurut laporan itu. Seorang terbunuh dan 16 orang, kebanyakannya wanita dan kanak-kanak, cedera dalam pertempuran itu, kata seorang jurucakap Afghanistan kepada Reuters, manakala pegawai Pakistan memperkecilkan insiden itu. “Beberapa pelanggaran kecil berlaku dari pihak Afghanistan dan kami bertindak balas di sektor yang sama,” kata seorang pegawai Pakistan kepada agensi berita itu. Pakistan dan Afghanistan telah terlibat dalam pertempuran selama berminggu-minggu selepas Islamabad mengisytiharkan “perang terbuka” pada Februari. Pakistan telah menyerang kemudahan ketenteraan dan lain-lain jauh di dalam Afghanistan, termasuk ibu negara, Kabul. Islamabad telah lama menuduh kerajaan Taliban Afghanistan melindungi kumpulan bersenjata yang melakukan serbuan rentas sempadan dan serangan pengganas, termasuk pengeboman sebuah masjid di Islamabad pada Februari yang membunuh lebih 30 orang. Kabul telah menafikan dakwaan itu. Minggu lalu, Afghanistan menuduh Pakistan melakukan serangan udara ke atas Hospital Rawatan Ketagihan Omid 2,000 katil di Kabul yang membunuh sekurang-kurangnya 400 orang. Islamabad sebahagiannya mengaitkan ketegangan dalam hubungannya dengan Kabul dengan peningkatan penglibatan yang terakhir dengan saingan lama Pakistan, India. China telah menyatakan ia sedang menjadi pengantara langsung gencatan senjata antara Pakistan dan Afghanistan. “Duta khas MFA bagi hal ehwal Afghanistan telah berulang-alik antara Afghanistan dan Pakistan,” kata jurucakap Kementerian Luar China, Lin Jian, minggu lalu. “Kedutaan China juga telah berhubung rapat dengan kedua-dua pihak,” tambahnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

MOL and Hitachi Launch Initiative to Convert Used Ships into Floating Data Centers

MOL and Hitachi Launch Initiative to Convert Used Ships into Floating Data Centers

TOKYO, Mar 30, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto; Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), Hitachi, Ltd. (Hitachi; President & CEO: Toshiaki Tokunaga; Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), and Hitachi Systems, Ltd. (Hitachi Systems; President & CEO : Takehiko Watanabe; Head Office: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) today announced the signing of a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) for the development, operation, and commercialization of a “Floating Data Center (FDC) converted from a second-hand vessel.” (**) Based on this MOU, the companies will conduct demand verification, review basic specifications and operational procedures, and carry out feasibility studies for commercialization of an FDC, with a view to commencing operations in 2027 or later. The project will focus primarily on Japan, where the Hitachi Group already has operational experience in land-based data centers, as well as Malaysia and the United States, where there are proven track records in providing services related to land-based data centers.CG rendering of an FDC converted from a used shipIn recent years, demand for data centers has continued to grow alongside the rapid proliferation of generative AI, creating a need for diverse range of data center solutions that take into account factors such as location, the availability of water resources for power generation and cooling, surrounding infrastructure, and disaster risks.Leveraging their respective experience, insights, and expertise, the three companies will assess the feasibility of commercializing FDC converted from a used vessel—a solution that eliminates the need to secure large tracts of land, enables short construction periods and mobility, and reduces environmental impact and costs through the reuse of existing hulls.Roles of Each Company- Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.Building on its expertise in studying and evaluating maritime operations—including vessel conversion plans, coordination with port authorities, and mooring and maintenance—MOL will be responsible for planning and promoting vessel conversions; leading discussions with port authorities and other stakeholders; defining maritime operational requirements such as mooring and maintenance; and examining financing structures.- Hitachi, Ltd./Hitachi Systems, Ltd.:Led by the Strategic SIB Business Unit, which drives new growth opportunities, Hitachi and Hitachi Systems will leverage their experience in owning and operating land-based data centers in Japan, installing containerized data centers, and providing land-based data center services in Malaysia and the United States. They will be responsible for technical studies on data center design, installation, and operation; defining IT infrastructure requirements such as networking and security; utilizing local expertise; and collaborating on customer requirement clarification and customer acquisition.Furthermore, by combining advanced AI with deep domain knowledge, the Hitachi Group is providing “HMAX by Hitachi” (HMAX), a suite of next-generation solutions designed to address the most complex challenges facing in social infrastructure. Hitachi will aim to expand HMAX to further advance and streamline data center operations in the future.(**)[Advantages of FDCs Compared to Land-based Data Centers]- No need to secure large tracts of land or incur land acquisition costsSecuring large plots of land for data centers in the suburbs of major cities is becoming increasingly difficult. In some cities, infrastructure concerns—such as electricity, cooling water, environmental regulations, and resident consent—has not kept pace, leading to proposals to halt the construction of new data centers. FDCs, which utilize ports and rivers, offer a new solution that can be deployed even in such challenging areas.- Shorter construction periodsRenovation work for FDCs takes approximately one year, potentially shortening the development period by up to three years compared with conventional land-based data center development.- Introduction of water-cooling systems utilizing seawater and river waterData centers consume large amounts of electricity and generate significant heat, requiring robust cooling systems. As conventional air-cooling systems cannot adequately cool high-performance AI servers, the market is shifting toward water-cooled systems. However, because water-cooling requires large volumes of water, some regions in the United States have experienced conflicts with residents concerned about potential shortages of potable water. As floating structures, FDCs can efficiently utilize seawater or river water for cooling, reducing both the power consumption required for server cooling and overall operational costs.- RelocatableBecause FDCs are floating structures, they are easy to move in response to shifts in demand.[Benefits of Converting Existing Ships into FDCs]- Reduced environmental impact arising from the extraction and processing of raw materials through the reuse of existing ship hulls- Reduced initial investmentIn addition to lowering construction costs, the use of existing onboard systems—such as air-conditioning, water intake, and power generation—is expected to reduce initial investment requirements.- Extensive space availabilityFor example, a car carrier with a floor area of approximately 54,000 m² would rival one of Japan’s largest onshore data centers in terms of total floor area.Trademark NoticeAll trademarks and product names are the property of their respective owners.About Mitsui O.S.K.

Focus Graphite Initiates WSP-Led Dam Break Study at Lac Knife, Advancing ESIA Toward Completion

OTTAWA, ON, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce the initiation of a comprehensive tailings storage facility (TSF) dam break analysis (the "Study") for its flagship Lac Knife Graphite Project (the "Project") located in Quebec.The Study, led by WSP Canada Inc. ("WSP"), a global leader in engineering and environmental consulting, will evaluate hypothetical failure scenarios for the Project's planned filtered (dry-stack) tailings storage facility and associated water retention infrastructure.

T-RIZE Structures Up to $500 Million Private Credit Digital Bond Programme on Canton Network

T-RIZE Structures Up to $500 Million Private Credit Digital Bond Programme on Canton Network

LONDON, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - T-RIZE Group (https://www.t-rize.io) today announced its role in structuring a private credit digital bond programme of up to $500 million for Horizon Group through Kairos Litigation Limited, a UK-based bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle established as the issuer for the programme. Horizon Group acts as programme manager. The programme will begin with an initial $50 million tranche launching shortly for eligible investors in the United States and Europe on the Canton Network, with capacity for additional tranches over time.The announcement highlights T-RIZE's institutional tokenization capability: structuring highly complex underlying exposures into institutionally governed, fixed-yield digital instruments built for professional markets.For the Kairos programme, T-RIZE has digitally structured a specialized private credit strategy into a market-ready issuance framework built on ring-fenced architecture, disciplined governance, permissioned investor access, and full lifecycle administration. Its role spans tokenization design, digital issuance architecture, governance and control logic, onchain instrument creation, lifecycle management, and reporting architecture required for institutional operation.The underlying exposure is a highly granular portfolio of UK litigation-finance receivables, a segment of private credit historically outside digital capital markets. T-RIZE has helped bring that exposure into a digital bond format designed for institutional use, combining fixed-yield economics, short-duration deployment, and a clearer structural framework for investor oversight.The credit architecture combines multiple protection layers. The issuer structure is bankruptcy-remote. Assets and related cash flows are ring-fenced. Risk is segmented through independent validation, and claim-level protection mechanisms. The capital-protection layer is supported by a performance-bond framework with reinsurance support from A-rated international reinsurers. Together, these features strengthen capital protection, improve cash-flow predictability, and support a stronger and transparent risk/reward profile than direct exposure to the underlying assets alone.T-RIZE is also providing the digital operating layer through which the tokens are minted, and administered on Canton Network. It supports onboarding, eligibility controls, credential management, transfer permissions, token lifecycle management, and governance execution. Critical actions are governed through a control framework incorporating multi-party computation and multi-signature approval logic, reinforcing institutional operating standards, and reducing single-point failure risk.The framework also includes collateral functionality scheduled for later activation, positioning the instrument over time for broader use across financing, treasury and liquidity workflows as institutional digital market infrastructure matures.For major financial institutions, the significance extends well beyond a single issuance. It demonstrates that T-RIZE can take complex private credit structures, architect them from the ground up, transform them into digitally native frameworks designed for institutional execution, governance, and scale."This programme reflects the level of structuring, control and technical integration required for institutional private credit to operate effectively in digital markets," said Madani Boukalba, Founder and CEO of T-RIZE Group. "T-RIZE helps institutions restructure highly complex, market-agnostic exposures into fixed-yield digital instruments with transparent structural protections and a clear onchain transparency layer across the life of the instrument. That opens access to structured opportunities that have traditionally remained difficult for institutions to reach in standardized form, while allowing them to benefit from attractive risk/reward dislocations with stronger governance, visibility and lifecycle control."T-RIZE also holds a strong position within Canton Network. It is a Premier Member of the Canton Foundation, an early validator and a builder of production-grade tokenization infrastructure on the network. Canton Network now functions as institutional market infrastructure, with live tokenization, active collateral and repo workflows, and growing participation from major regulated institutions. T-RIZE is engineering the Kairos programme inside that framework so it aligns not only with institutional issuance standards today, but with the next phase of market utility; interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation on Canton Network rails.Ann-Marie Bell, CEO of Kairos Litigation Limited, said: "T-RIZE helped us translate a complex private credit structure into a market-ready institutional digital issuance. Their contribution across structuring, governance design, control architecture, compliance logic, and technical implementation was instrumental in bringing the first tranche to market."More broadly, the transaction positions T-RIZE as a structuring partner for institutions seeking to bring complex opportunities into a governed digital issuance framework on Canton Network, with the standards of control, transparency, and execution required by professional markets.About T-RIZE GroupT-RIZE Group is a financial technology company building institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure for digital securities, structured products, and real-world assets. The company structures, tokenizes, issues and administers compliant digital instruments across asset classes including private credit, funds, securities, bonds, commodities, and real estate. T-RIZE Labs, the group's R&D division, advances next-generation tokenization systems, and digital market architecture. T-RIZE's technology stack is engineered to institutional and defense-grade security standards and deployed on Canton Network for interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation.About Kairos and Horizon GroupKairos Litigation Limited is a UK-based special purpose vehicle established to issue digital loan notes and support the structured financing of eligible underlying receivables within a ring-fenced institutional framework. Horizon Group acts as programme manager and brings more than five years of operating history and a zero-default track record across its lending portfolio, supporting origination, underwriting framework, servicing oversight, and portfolio administration in connection with the programme.Media ContactBrand: T-RIZE GroupContact: Media teamEmail: press@t-rize.ioWebsite: https://www.t-rize.io Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Asiaray Profit for the Year Surges for Two Years in a Row Rising 101.8% YoY to RMB21.0 Million

Asiaray Profit for the Year Surges for Two Years in a Row Rising 101.8% YoY to RMB21.0 Million

HONG KONG, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asiaray Media Group Limited (“Asiaray” or the “Group”; stock code: 1993.HK), an established out-of-home (“OOH”) media company with a strategic focus on advertising media management at mass transportation hubs, has announced its annual results for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”), delivering a second consecutive year of net profit growth and a third consecutive year of gross profit margin improvement. Profit for the year rose by 101.8% to RMB21.0 million, compared with RMB10.4 million in 2024 and a net loss of RMB9.9 million in 2023, while gross profit margin increased to 33.8%, from 28.7% in 2024 and 21.9% in 2023. Gross profit reached RMB309.8 million (2024: RMB306.7 million), supported by the Group’s ongoing portfolio optimization, asset upgrading and disciplined execution, despite a still-challenging operating environment.During the Year, the Group continued to improve the quality of its media portfolio and strengthen operational efficiency. Revenue was RMB916.1 million, compared with RMB1,069.2 million in 2024, reflecting the Group’s deliberate focus on higher-quality assets and more profitable growth. The Group also maintained a healthy financial position, with cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, amounting to RMB200.3 million as at 31 December 2025, providing a solid foundation for future development. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to RMB363.6 million.Business HighlightsMetro Lines and Billboards Segment Posts Strong Results via Innovation and Optimized OperationsThe segment delivered strong results, supported by continued demand for prime advertising resources and the Group’s disciplined operating approach. Segment revenue increased to RMB497.5 million, while gross profit rose to RMB187.0 million and gross profit margin expanded to 37.6%, up from 26.0% in 2024, increased by 11.6 percentage points. The improvement reflected stronger performance across Hong Kong billboards, metro media in Mainland China and Singapore’s Thomson-East Coast MRT Line.During the Year, the Group’s billboards in prime locations in Hong Kong continued to attract strong advertiser interest, with bookings fueled by mega events and stronger market activity. Building on this momentum, the Group was granted the exclusive concession for advertising media resources at the Eastern Harbour Crossing, further strengthening its footprint across the city’s key transport arteries. Meanwhile, expanding beyond traditional billboards, the Group introduced innovative formats such as building wraps and ferry-pier coverings, pushing the boundaries of OOH advertising. These initiatives solidified the segment’s position as a key growth driver for the Group.Bus and Other Segment Revitalizes through Merging Creativity with Engineering ExcellenceThe segment continued to improve profitability through portfolio refinement and stronger operating discipline. Segment revenue was RMB236.9 million, while gross profit reached RMB96.0 million and gross profit margin increased to 40.5%, compared with 25.2% in 2024, improved by 15.3 percentage points. This reflected the Group’s continued focus on asset quality, return enhancement and a more efficient operating structure.With a refined portfolio, the Group revitalized the segment by delivering creative, impactful advertising, such as immersive bus shelter campaigns for beverage brands that engaged commuters through “five senses” experiences and interactive installations. Leveraging its solid experience with Sydney bus shelters, the Group successfully delivered several advanced engineering projects, including an 820m² rooftop LED retrofit. It also upgraded city-wide bus shelters into a smart Digital Out-of-Home (“DOOH”) network featuring panels with real-time performance and cutting-edge technology enabling context-aware, data-driven creative adjustments. These improvements have boosted campaign effectiveness and reinforced the segment’s long-term value.O&O New Media Strategy and DOOH+ Platform Enhance Value for Advertisers, Media Resources Owners and AudiencesThe Group continued to advance its Outdoor and Online (“O&O”) New Media Strategy and DOOH Plus (“DOOH+”) platform which remain central to its long-term growth plan. By combining premium OOH resources with online and data-driven capabilities, the Group has been able to deliver more measurable and more effective advertising solutions.One of the key highlights during the Year was a multi-month bus shelter takeover for a leading beverage brand, in which the Group regularly refreshed creative concepts with interactive games, multi-sensory installations, and 3D setups. By maintaining high engagement over an extended period, the campaign demonstrated the Group’s ability to turn individual projects into longer-term partnerships through sustained creative excellence and O&O-enabled audience experiences.Moreover, the Group further strengthened its programmatic DOOH capabilities and deepened cooperation with key ad-tech partners. One such campaign for a contact-lens brand used dynamic creative optimization at bus shelters, displaying real-time temperature and UV-index data and automatically adjusting content to current weather conditions.

What to Prepare Before Opening a Savings Account Online

What to Prepare Before Opening a Savings Account Online

SINGAPORE, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Setting up a new account for your money in Singapore is easier than ever. In the past, you had to find a bank branch, take a queue number, and wait for a staff member to help you. Now, technology allows you to handle everything from your living room. When you decide to apply for a savings account online, you can complete the entire process in just a few minutes.However, even though the process is fast, it helps to be ready. Here is a simple guide on what you need to have ready before you start your application.Prepare Your SingpassThe primary identification tool for anyone in Singapore is Singpass. Most banks now use MyInfo to retrieve your personal details. When you start your application, the bank will ask you to log in with your Singpass. Once you grant permission, the system automatically fills in your name, address, date of birth, and even your employment details.Using this method is the fastest way to apply for a savings account online. It reduces the chances of typos in your form. Before you begin, make sure your Singpass app is updated and that you remember your login password or have your face recognition working. Ensure to update your home address or income details on the Singpass website first.Documents for Singapore Citizens and ResidentsIf you are a Singapore Citizen or a Permanent Resident using Singpass MyInfo, you usually do not need to upload any physical documents. However, it is still a good idea to have your NRIC nearby just in case you need to verify your identity number manually.For foreigners living in Singapore, you will need your passport, your Employment Pass or S Pass, and official proof of address, which could be a utility bill, a phone bill, or a letter from the government that was sent to you in the last three months. Make sure the name and address on the bill match your application exactly.Proof of IncomeSome savings accounts in Singapore offer higher interest rates if you agree to credit your monthly salary into the account. While you can often open the account without showing your pay slip immediately, having your income details ready is helpful for future planning.If you are a salaried employee, your latest three months of CPF contribution history or your most recent Income Tax Notice of Assessment is usually enough. For those who are self-employed, you might need your tax statements from the last two years. Having these digital files saved on your phone or computer before you begin will make the process much smoother.Mobile Number and Email AddressTo apply for a savings account online, you will need a working Singapore mobile number and a personal email address. During the application, the bank will send you a One-Time Password or a secure link for verification purposes.Make sure your phone has a stable internet connection, which helps prevent interruptions that could require restarting your application. It is also a good idea to ensure that your email inbox can receive the confirmation letter and your new account details immediately.A Plan for Your First DepositSome savings accounts in Singapore require an initial deposit to activate the account. Before you start, make sure you have enough funds in another bank account and that you know your login details for that account.Many online applications will allow you to make your first deposit via an instant transfer or a QR code payment. Having this money ready means your account can start earning interest from the very first day. If you are looking to take advantage of a welcome promotion, such as a cash gift for new customers, you might need to deposit a specific amount, so ensure to check the promotion rules beforehand.Final ThoughtsChoosing to apply for a savings account online is not just about effortless banking; it is also about having more control over your money. Many banks offer extra cash credits or higher interest tiers specifically for those who use digital applications.By preparing your Singpass, your digital documents, and your initial deposit in advance, you remove all the stress from the process. You can move at your own pace and ensure that you are choosing the right account for your long-term goals. Once the form is submitted, you can usually see your new account in your banking app right away, allowing you to start managing your money better immediately.Disclaimer: This article is for general information only and does not have any regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs of any specific person.

AS mungkin menangkap Pulau Kharg Iran untuk ‘mengambil minyak’ – Trump

AS mungkin menangkap Pulau Kharg Iran untuk ‘mengambil minyak’ – Trump

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden percaya bahawa pasukan Amerika boleh “sangat mudah” merebut hab eksport utama itu Presiden Donald Trump tidak menolak kemungkinan pasukan AS merebut hab eksport utama Iran di Pulau Kharg untuk menguasai eksport minyak Republik Islam itu, kata beliau dalam temu bual dengan Financial Times pada hari Ahad. Trump mendakwa “keutamaan” beliau adalah agar Washington mengawal industri dan eksport minyak Tehran secara tidak terhingga, seperti yang dilakukan di Venezuela selepas serangan ketenteraan pada Januari. “Untuk jujur dengan kamu, perkara kegemaran saya ialah mengambil minyak di Iran, tetapi sesetengah orang bodoh di AS berkata: ‘Mengapa kamu berbuat demikian?’ Tetapi mereka orang bodoh,” kata Trump. “Mungkin kita ambil Pulau Kharg, mungkin tidak. Kita mempunyai banyak pilihan,” tambah Trump, menegaskan bahawa langkah sedemikian juga bermakna pasukan AS perlu “berada di sana untuk sementara waktu.” Jabatan Perang AS telah mengumpulkan pasukan di rantau itu, mencetuskan spekulasi mengenai kemungkinan operasi darat. Pegawai-pegawai di Tehran mendakwa pasukan negara itu “menunggu” tentera Amerika dan menantang mereka untuk “mendekat,” menuduh AS merancang pencerobohan secara rahsia sambil bercakap mengenai rundingan. Iran juga dilaporkan memperkukuhkan pertahanan Pulau Kharg dengan ranjau, sistem pertahanan udara mudah alih dan unit dron FPV, namun Trump menolak kemungkinan Tehran boleh melakukan pertempuran sengit. “Saya tidak fikir mereka mempunyai sebarang pertahanan. Kita boleh mengambilnya dengan sangat mudah,” kata beliau mengenai Kharg. Berikutan serangan ketenteraan AS ke Venezuela yang menculik Presiden Nicolas Maduro dan memasang kerajaan yang lebih mesra di Caracas, Trump berjanji untuk mengawal industri minyak negara itu “secara tidak terhingga.” Washington telah mengenakan kawalan ke atas eksport minyak mentah Venezuela, dengan hasilnya disimpan ke dalam akaun terpencil yang dikendalikan oleh Perbendaharaan AS dan bukannya terus kepada negara Venezuela. Presiden sementara negara itu, Delcy Rodriguez, juga telah bersetuju untuk menjual kira-kira $100 juta nilai emas fizikal kepada AS, dengan hasilnya dikawal oleh Washington secara serupa.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Fujitsu launches generative AI service that analyzes source code and automatically generates design documents

Fujitsu launches generative AI service that analyzes source code and automatically generates design documents

KAWASAKI, Japan, Mar 30, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu today announced the launch of Fujitsu Application Transform powered by Fujitsu Kozuchi, a generative AI service that analyzes source code and automatically generates design documents, contributing to a reduction in work time of approximately 97%. Fujitsu will begin offering Fujitsu Application Transform powered by Fujitsu Kozuchi as a SaaS in Japan starting March 30, 2026. This service supports the modernization of companies and organizations by leveraging Fujitsu's extensive system development expertise, proprietary technology, and generative AI to analyze COBOL and other source codes within existing legacy systems, automatically generating design documents to understand the system's content.Building on the achievements of its predecessor, a software analysis and visualization service launched in February 2025, this new offering standardizes analysis technology and design document generation know-how. In this service, Fujitsu proprietary technology leverages code analysis techniques on remaining design information and existing programs and manages RAG using Fujitsu Knowledge Graph–Enhanced RAG for Software Engineering. By linking large volumes of source code, it prevents omissions and hallucinations, and automatically generates highly accurate, easy-to-read design documentation.This service reduces the time-consuming process of understanding programming languages and generating design documents, which previously required extensive human effort, by approximately 97%, even without expert knowledge. Furthermore, compared to analysis solely by general generative AI, Fujitsu's proprietary technology generates consistent design information without omissions from existing system source code, even for complex COBOL language. This has improved comprehensiveness by 95%. These accuracy enhancements have also led to a 60% improvement in the readability of design documents compared to conventional methods, confirming the generation of high-quality design documents.Moving forward, Fujitsu plans to begin offering support services for the introduction of this service. Additionally, beyond automatic design document generation, Fujitsu plans to sequentially introduce features for rebuilding existing source code for future use, automatically rewriting source code, and supporting operation and maintenance, starting in fiscal year 2026. Through this service, Fujitsu aims to generate high-quality design documents, enabling a clear understanding of current system specifications and characteristics, and strongly supporting the formulation and implementation of system modernization and migration strategies.Figure: Fujitsu Application Transform powered by Fujitsu Kozuchi concept diagramToshihiro Horiuchi, Managing Executive Officer, SMBC Nikko Securities Inc. comments:“We see this announcement as an initiative that realistically advances the modernization of our legacy systems by combining Fujitsu’s deep system development expertise built up over many years with generative AI. From fiscal year 2025, we have been conducting joint verification with Fujitsu on reverse-engineering design documentation for legacy languages, including COBOL, and through this collaboration we have come to recognize the significant potential of this technology. Going forward, we hope to continue working closely with Fujitsu to achieve more practical and effective modernization.”Related LinksService Introduction Site(Japanese)Fujitsu launches gen AI software analysis and visualization service to support optimal modernization planningAbout FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

Kapal tangki Rusia menghampiri Cuba walaupun sekatan minyak AS

Kapal tangki Rusia menghampiri Cuba walaupun sekatan minyak AS

(SeaPRwire) - Washington dilaporkan menahan diri daripada memintas kapal itu, menurut New York Times Cuba dijadualkan menerima penghantaran minyak kemanusiaan dari Rusia seawal minggu ini, berikutan sekatan AS selama berbulan-bulan yang telah menyebabkan kekurangan bahan api yang teruk dan pemotongan kuasa berulang di seluruh pulau itu, menurut laporan New York Times. Tanker Rusia Anatoly Kolodkin, yang membawa kira-kira 730,000 tong minyak mentah, sedang menghampiri perairan wilayah negara pulau itu dan boleh tiba di Pelabuhan Matanzas menjelang hari Selasa, menurut perkhidmatan penjejakan kapal. Walaupun kapal Pengawal Pantai AS berada di rantau itu, “pentadbiran Trump tidak mengarahkan kapal-kapal itu bertindak,” seorang pegawai yang mengenali perkara itu memberitahu Times pada hari Ahad. “Sekiranya tiada arahan yang menyatakan sebaliknya, Pengawal Pantai merancang untuk membenarkan tanker itu tiba di Cuba mulai tengah hari Ahad,” tambah sumber itu, yang bercakap atas dasar tidak mahu dinamakan. Rumah Putih belum membuat komen secara terbuka mengenai keputusan yang dilaporkan itu, selepas Presiden AS Donald Trump berulang kali mengancam tarif ke atas negara yang mengeksport bahan api ke Cuba. Negara Caribbean itu telah menghadapi kekurangan bahan api teruk dan pemotongan kuasa dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini selepas Venezuela, yang dahulunya sekutu terdekat Havana, menghentikan penghantaran minyak berikutan tekanan dari Washington. Pelbagai penghantaran bahan api antarabangsa telah terganggu, kapal yang dikaitkan dengan Havana menghadapi kesukaran untuk mendapatkan bekalan, dan sebahagiannya telah ditolak atau dipintas – dengan sekurang-kurangnya satu kapal diiringi keluar dari perairan Cuba, menurut data penjejakan kapal. Awal bulan ini, Havana bersetuju untuk memulakan rundingan dengan Washington dalam usaha meredakan ketegangan dan mengelakkan krisis kemanusiaan. Presiden Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel mengesahkan bahawa rundingan sedang berlangsung dan bertujuan untuk “mencari penyelesaian melalui dialog terhadap perbezaan dua hala yang wujud di antara kedua-dua negara.” Namun, Trump tidak meninggalkan niat yang dinyatakannya untuk mengambil alih pulau itu “sama ada secara ini atau itu.” Pada hari Jumaat, beliau berkata Cuba boleh menjadi “berikutnya” berikutan apa yang digambarkannya sebagai operasi ketenteraan AS yang berjaya di Venezuela dan Iran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

S CUBE Capital Fund Ranked No. 1 Fixed Income Performer in Asia Pacific by Bloomberg

S CUBE Capital Fund Ranked No. 1 Fixed Income Performer in Asia Pacific by Bloomberg

Singapore, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - S CUBE Capital’s Fixed Income Tactical Opportunities Fund II, managed by the Singapore-based investment manager specializing in Global and Indian strategies, has been ranked by Bloomberg as the top-performing USD fixed income fund. The firm outperformed strategies managed by leading global institutions across a universe of funds spanning 15 Asia Pacific markets including Singapore, Hong Kong, India, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia and Mauritius.Over the one-year period ending January 31, 2026, Bloomberg reported that FITOF – Fund II delivered total returns of 12.44%, outperforming its nearest peer by more than 200 basis points. This recognition follows a similar distinction received by S CUBE two years ago and underscores the strength of the firm’s investment framework, as well as its deep expertise in navigating global credit markets. While the fund remains focused on high-quality bonds, its positioning has maintained a meaningful overweight to Indian credits, reflecting strong conviction in the country’s macroeconomic trajectory.Commenting on the performance, Hemant Mishr, Founder and CIO, S CUBE Capital, said "We are delighted to receive this recognition – it is particularly special as it marks our second such recognition in the past three years and comes against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical risk and a challenging macroeconomic environment. To be acknowledged alongside such a strong cohort of global funds is a testament to the strength of our team and the rigor of our investment framework.“We are seeing strong investor interest supported by favourable tailwinds. A change of guard at the US Fed is reinforcing expectations of a more dovish monetary policy. At the same time rising stress in the private credit market is likely to catalyse a rotation of capital towards public credit strategies- an area where we are well positioned to capture attractive risk-adjusted opportunities” adds Hemant."Balaji Swaminathan, Founder and CEO, S CUBE Capital added “We are pleased to be recognized once again for delivering consistent returns for our investors. Our focus remains on combining rigorous credit selection with deep on-the-ground insights to capture opportunities across Asia and our overweight position in Indian dollar issuers has been a key driver of our performance. As India’s role in the global economy continues to strengthen, we believe our platform is well positioned to connect international investors with high-quality credit opportunities in the region”.About S CUBE CapitalS CUBE is a global fund management company domiciled in Singapore and regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). We are a strong and dedicated team of internationally experienced experts delivering institutional investment expertise to client.

Iran mengancam akan mengebom rumah pegawai AS dan Israel

Iran mengancam akan mengebom rumah pegawai AS dan Israel

(SeaPRwire) - Tehran mengisytiharkan rumah penduduk musuh sebagai sasaran sah semasa AS menumpuk lebih 50,000 askar di rantau itu Tehran telah mengisytiharkan rumah pegawai dan komander tentera AS dan Israel sebagai sasaran sah, sebagai balasan terhadap serangan berulang ke atas bangunan kediaman di Iran yang dilaporkan telah membunuh hampir 2,000 orang awam dalam tempoh sebulan pertama perang. Lebih daripada 80,000 tapak awam telah dimusnahkan atau rosak di Iran sejak 28 Februari, termasuk lebih daripada 60,000 rumah, menurut Iranian Red Crescent Society. Sebagai balasan, Korps Pengawal Revolusi Islam mengumumkan pada Ahad bahawa ia akan “mulakan pengeboman” rumah pegawai dan komander musuh. Jabatan Pertahanan AS telah mengukuhkan pasukannya yang berjumlah 50,000 askar di rantau itu dengan 3,500 Marin pada hujung minggu, manakala satu kumpulan sedia amfibi lain – dan mungkin kumpulan serangan kapal induk ketiga – dilaporkan sedang dalam perjalanan, meningkatkan kebimbangan mengenai kemungkinan pencerobohan darat. Pengerusi Parlimen Iran Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf sebelum ini mendakwa pasukan negara itu “menunggu” askar Amerika, menuduh AS “merancang pencerobohan darat secara rahsia” sementara bercakap secara umum tentang perundingan. Berikut adalah perkembangan terkini: Menteri luar negeri Pakistan, Türkiye, Mesir dan Arab Saudi bertemu di Islamabad untuk perbincangan keamanan awal pada Ahad. Iran telah menerima cadangan daripada Amerika Syarikat melalui perantara, tetapi Tehran menganggapnya “sangat tidak munasabah,” kata jurucakap Kementerian Luar Negeri Esmaeil Baqaei, menurut biro RT di Iran. Tentera Israel berkata ia bersedia untuk “perang berbilang front” selepas pemberontak Houthi Yaman yang didukung Iran memasuki konflik dengan serangan peluru berpandu ke Israel. Letupan didengar di Tehran semasa serangan berat, kerana Korps Pengawal Revolusi Islam Iran mengancam untuk menyerang kampus universiti AS dan Israel sebagai balasan terhadap serangan ke atas institusi pendidikan Iran.

Mitos Eurasia besar ini perlu dikesampingkan

Mitos Eurasia besar ini perlu dikesampingkan

(SeaPRwire) - Barat Tidak Akan Berjuang Untuk Asia Tengah, dan Begitu Juga Rusia Apabila konfrontasi ketenteraan-politik antara Rusia dan Barat memasuki fasa baharu, perhatian secara beransur-ansur beralih ke selatan dan tenggara. Perbincangan mengenai dasar Moscow di Kaukasus Selatan dan Asia Tengah menjadi lebih kerap, walaupun penyelesaian muktamad kepada ketegangan semasa masih jauh. Dalam konteks ini, adalah wajar untuk mempersoalkan sama ada apa yang dipanggil 'Great Game' boleh kembali ke Eurasia dalam beberapa bentuk. Secara sejarah, kedua-dua wilayah ini dilihat sebagai agak tenang. Musuh utama Rusia sama ada tidak mempunyai kepentingan yang kuat di sana atau tidak dapat mengekalkan kehadiran fizikal yang dianggap Moscow sebagai ancaman serius. Untuk sebahagian besar tempoh selepas kejatuhan Kesatuan Soviet, dan sehingga tercetusnya konflik di Ukraine, negara-negara Asia Tengah dan Kaukasus Selatan wujud dalam apa yang boleh digambarkan sebagai persekitaran antarabangsa yang baik. Mereka menghadapi cabaran dalaman, sudah tentu, tetapi sebahagian besarnya terhindar daripada penglibatan langsung dalam persaingan kuasa besar. Bahkan sehingga hari ini, wilayah-wilayah ini masih jauh dari teater utama konfrontasi global. Apabila dunia mempertimbangkan kemungkinan konflik serius antara kuasa nuklear, perhatian dihalakan ke arah Eropah, Asia Timur, atau semakin ke Timur Tengah. Asia Tengah, yang sering digambarkan sebagai "bawah lembut" Rusia atau China, tidak menonjol dalam pengiraan sedemikian. Ini bukan untuk mengatakan bahawa perkembangan di sana tidak relevan. Kaukasus Selatan, khususnya, terletak terlalu dekat dengan Timur Tengah, di mana Israel sedang mencari peranan serantau yang lebih tegas. Turki juga kekal aktif, walaupun trajektori jangka panjang cita-citanya tidak pasti. Asia Tengah, pula, telah melangkaui tempoh selepas kejatuhan Soviet. Elit politiknya telah menstabilkan sistem mereka dan sedang mengejar laluan pembangunan yang bebas. Wilayah ini tidak bebas daripada risiko, tetapi ini berpunca terutamanya daripada cabaran tadbir urus domestik dan bukannya tekanan luaran. Namun, semakin banyak suara, terutamanya dari luar wilayah, kini mencadangkan bahawa Asia Tengah boleh menjadi arena seterusnya untuk persaingan antara Rusia, China, Amerika Syarikat, dan beberapa pelakon sekunder, termasuk Turki dan Kesatuan Eropah. Hujahnya adalah mudah: apabila teknologi dan kerjasama ekonomi menjadi alat persaingan geopolitik, wilayah-wilayah yang sebelum ini berada di pinggir sedang ditarik ke dalam pertandingan itu. Ada sedikit kebenaran dalam hal ini. Asia Tengah dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini telah menarik perhatian yang meningkat daripada institusi antarabangsa dan pembuat dasar. Ia sering digambarkan sebagai salah satu "lautan jernih" terakhir ekonomi global. Pada masa yang sama, negara-negara di wilayah ini telah berusaha untuk melindungi diri mereka daripada tekanan luaran dengan mengukuhkan kerjasama antara serantau, terutamanya melalui format yang melibatkan kesemua lima negara Asia Tengah. Usaha mereka untuk menyatukan kedaulatan negara dan mengejar dasar luar yang pragmatik tidak harus dipandang ringan. Namun, seiring dengan perkembangan ini, sesuatu yang lain telah muncul semula: satu set mitos dan naratif lama yang berasal dari era dominasi Barat dalam hal ehwal global. Yang utama antara mereka adalah tanggapan tentang 'Great Game' yang diperbaharui, satu pertandingan strategik antara Rusia dan kuasa luar untuk pengaruh di Asia Tengah. Idea ini mempunyai daya tarikan retorik yang besar, tetapi nilai analitikal yang sedikit. 'Great Game' yang asal sebahagian besarnya adalah produk abad ke-19, apabila empayar Rusia dan Britain mengembangkan pengaruh mereka merentasi Eurasia. Mitologinya dibentuk oleh imaginasi dan juga realiti, dipopularkan oleh seorang ejen Britain yang nasib dramatiknya di Bukhara pada tahun 1842 memberikan konsep itu aura yang berkekalan. Dalam praktiknya, persaingan antara St. Petersburg dan London di rantau ini adalah terhad. Kedua-dua kuasa itu terutamanya prihatin dengan kedudukan mereka di Eropah, dan Asia Tengah berfungsi lebih sebagai teater pinggir dan bukannya barisan hadapan yang muktamad. Rusia akhirnya menyelesaikan isu itu dengan caranya sendiri, dengan menggabungkan rantau ini ke dalam empayarnya dan menghapuskan zon penampan yang mengekalkan kebimbangan Britain. Britain, yang dihadkan oleh sumber dan keutamaan strategik di tempat lain, menawarkan sedikit tentangan. 'Great Game', seperti yang ada, terbukti singkat. Tidak ada sebab untuk mempercayai bahawa dinamik sedemikian boleh dihasilkan semula hari ini. Pertama, walaupun Asia Tengah telah mendapat perhatian disebabkan ketegangan antara Rusia, China, dan Barat, ini tidak bermakna kesanggupan, atau keupayaan, di pihak Amerika Syarikat atau Eropah Barat untuk mewujudkan kehadiran yang signifikan di sana. Pelakon-pelakon ini sudah sangat terlibat dalam teater lain. Idea bahawa mereka boleh mengalihkan sumber yang besar ke Asia Tengah adalah sukar untuk dikekalkan. Risiko utama di rantau ini kekal dalaman, bukan luaran. Tambahan pula, kerajaan-kerajaan Asia Tengah telah menunjukkan, dalam tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini, tahap ketahanan dan kecekapan yang membezakan mereka daripada negara-negara rapuh yang menjadi arena persaingan proksi semasa Arab Spring. Mereka telah mengekalkan kawalan politik dan mencapai kemajuan ekonomi yang tertentu. Perbandingan dengan Libya atau Syria adalah tidak tepat. Kedua, nilai ekonomi Asia Tengah sering dibesar-besarkan. Walaupun rantau ini menawarkan peluang, ia bukan hadiah yang muktamad dari segi ekonomi global. Sebahagian besar semangat yang mengelilinginya mencerminkan naratif geopolitik yang lebih luas dan bukannya realiti konkrit. Sekiranya ketegangan di Eropah Timur atau Pasifik stabil, kepentingan Asia Tengah yang dirasakan boleh cepat berkurangan. Bagi Rusia, ini mempunyai implikasi yang jelas. Daripada terlibat dalam perjuangan khayalan untuk pengaruh, kepentingan Moscow lebih terjamin dengan menghormati kedaulatan rakan-rakannya dan membina hubungan ekonomi yang substantif. Negara-negara di rantau ini bukan objek persaingan, tetapi pelaku dengan hak mereka sendiri, mampu mengejar dasar yang seimbang dan bebas. Kebangkitan semula 'Great Game' oleh itu lebih merupakan pantulan inersia intelektual daripada keperluan geopolitik. Ia adalah metafora yang mudah, tetapi mengelirukan. Eurasia tidak kembali ke abad ke-19. Dan Rusia wajar mengelak daripada berkelakuan seolah-olah ia begitu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

(SeaPRwire) - Raksasa teknologi itu menyalahkan insiden itu pada "suntingan palsu" pada platform pemetaannya Rumah Putih dinamakan semula secara ringkas ‘Epstein Island’ bagi sesetengah pengguna telefon Google Pixel, melaporkan Washington Post. Istilah itu digunakan untuk merujuk kepada pulau Caribbean Little St. James, yang pernah dimiliki oleh pedofil yang disabitkan kesalahan yang sudah meninggal dunia, Jeffry Epstein. Menurut pendakwa raya, ia berfungsi sebagai tempat bagi pemerdagangan seks dan penderaan lain yang melibatkan beberapa tokoh berprofil tinggi dalam bidang perniagaan dan politik. WaPo berkata dalam sebuah artikel pada hari Sabtu bahawa apabila wartawannya cuba menghubungi talian Rumah Putih lebih awal minggu ini, nama pada skrin menunjukkan bahawa mereka sedang menghubungi “Epstein Island.” Hanya pengguna telefon Google Pixel yang mengalami masalah itu. Bagi mereka yang menghubungi kediaman presiden dari telefon Android dan iPhone lain, tiada nama dipaparkan, menurut laporan itu. Jurucakap Google Matthew Flegal kemudiannya memberitahu akhbar itu bahawa terdapat “suntingan palsu” dalam Google Maps yang telah “seketika” diambil dalam ciri pengenalan panggilan beberapa telefon Android. Pengguna di sebaliknya telah dikenal pasti dan disekat daripada membuat suntingan lanjut kerana tindakannya melanggar polisi Google, kata Flegal. Nama Rumah Putih telah dipulihkan pada platform pemetaan, tambahnya. Jabatan Kehakiman AS mengeluarkan kumpulan terakhir lebih 3 juta halaman, 2,000 video, dan 180,000 imej berkaitan kes Epstein pada bulan Januari. Butiran urus niaga pembiaya Wall Street itu dengan beberapa orang paling berkuasa di AS dan UK hanya memburukkan skandal itu. Presiden AS Donald Trump telah memerintahkan agensi itu mengeluarkan fail-fail pada bulan November, berikutan tekanan hebat dari para pembuat undang-undang dan penyokongnya sendiri. Dokumen-dokumen itu menyebut nama Trump lebih 5,000 kali, tetapi tanpa sebarang petunjuk aktiviti jenayah. Walau bagaimanapun, ia telah disunting secara besar-besaran, meninggalkan ramai pengkritik tidak yakin. Presiden berulang kali menafikan pernah menjadi rakan kepada pembiaya yang sudah tercemar itu, berkata bahawa dia “tidak pernah pergi ke pulau Epstein yang dijangkiti itu tetapi, hampir semua Demokrat yang Curang ini, dan Penderma mereka, pergi.” Tinjauan pendapat dari laman web sayap kiri Zeteo awal bulan ini mendapati bahawa 52% daripada mereka yang disurvei percaya bahawa Trump melancarkan perang yang sedang berlangsung menentang Iran untuk mengalihkan perhatian orang ramai daripada fail Epstein.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

EU memerlukan perbaikan urgente – Perdana Menteri Poland

EU memerlukan perbaikan urgente – Perdana Menteri Poland

(SeaPRwire) - Karol Nawrocki telah mengkritik dasar tenaga dan migrasi kesatuan yang “bertentangan dengan akal budi” serta “projek ideologi” Presiden Polandia Karol Nawrocki berkata EU “memerlukan pembaikan segera” dan mengkritik dasar tenaga dan migrasi yang memusnahkan diri sendiri yang dikenakan ke atas negara anggota oleh birokratus yang tidak dipilih serta condong ideologi yang semakin meningkat dalam blok itu. Satu tinjauan oleh Eurobazooka pada akhir tahun lepas menunjukkan bahawa 25% responden Polandia menyokong ‘Polexit,’ dengan 6% lagi tidak pasti, menjadikan negara itu titik panas utama Euroskeptisisme. Harian nasional Gazeta Wyborcza mencatatkan pada masa itu bahawa seawal 2022, sekitar 92% rakyat Polandia menyokong kekal dalam EU. Pada tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini, konservatif Polandia semakin banyak menuduh blok itu mengenakan norma sosial liberal mengenai isu-isu seperti hak LGBT, dasar jantina, dan reformasi kehakiman ke atas negara mereka yang majoritinya Katolik. Berucap kepada penonton AS yang kebanyakannya Republikan di Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) di Texas pada Ahad, Nawrocki berkata bahawa “birokratus [EU] yang berkuasa [sedang] membuat keputusan yang bertentangan dengan akal budi.” Dia menyebutkan “dasar tenaga blok itu yang bergerak terlalu cepat tanpa memperhatikan realiti ekonomi dan keselamatan tenaga” serta “dasar migrasi yang gagal melindungi sempadan dan perpaduan sosial.” “Terdapat langkah untuk memusatkan membuat keputusan, mengetepikan negara dan akauntabiliti demokrasi,” lamentasi presiden Polandia itu. Menurut Nawrocki, kadangkala, kepimpinan EU telah cuba mengenakan “projek ideologi” ke atas negara anggota dengan usaha jelas untuk “menjauhkan kita daripada nilai-nilai yang membina tamadun Kristian kita bukannya mengukuhkannya.” Dalam satu pos di X awal bulan ini, Perdana Menteri Polandia Donald Tusk mendakwa bahawa terdapat “ancaman nyata” bahawa negaranya mungkin keluar dari EU selepas Presiden Nawrocki memvetankan undang-undang yang akan membolehkan Warsaw menarik hampir €44 bilion ($50 bilion) dalam pinjaman pertahanan EU berfaedah rendah. Kerajaan akhirnya membenarkan menteri pertahanan dan kewangannya menandatangani perjanjian Security Action for Europe (SAFE) secara langsung, mengelak veto. Tusk, yang pernah berkhidmat sebagai presiden Majlis Eropah, menuduh pembangkang kanan dan Nawrocki secara peribadi bersebelahan dengan Rusia, gerakan MAGA Presiden AS Donald Trump, dan puak Euroskeptik Eropah yang diarahkan oleh Perdana Menteri Hungary Viktor Orban dalam usaha untuk “memecah belah EU.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Reports Approximately 37% Year-on-Year Growth in Industrial Fund Revenue, with Its Dual-Core Businesses Opening Up New Space for Earnings Realization

Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Reports Approximately 37% Year-on-Year Growth in Industrial Fund Revenue, with Its Dual-Core Businesses Opening Up New Space for Earnings Realization

HONG KONG, Mar 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 2025 annual report of Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) sends a clear signal: the company is entering what it describes as its “best period in history.” The key to this assessment lies not merely in the growth of a single business segment, but in the fact that, after eight years of continuous transformation, Shoucheng Holdings has established a dual-engine core business model of “industrial funds + asset management” and is now entering a new phase of accelerated earnings realization.In his Chairman’s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang noted that over the past eight years, the company has completed a continuous evolution from the divestment of non-performing assets and the injection of high-quality assets, to asset restructuring, deep industrial cultivation, and finally the realization of returns. Today, the company is steadily entering a stage of medium-to-high-speed growth. This also means that Shoucheng Holdings has moved beyond its earlier restructuring-and-recovery logic and into a new cycle marked by clear core businesses, a mature business model, and accelerating value release.From a business framework perspective, “industrial funds + asset management” has become the company’s most important growth engine. The former is responsible for value discovery, project investment, and securing high-quality assets, while the latter is responsible for operational efficiency enhancement, cash flow accumulation, and asset appreciation. Together, they form a closed-loop model spanning investment, operation, and exit, giving the company stronger earnings stability and greater certainty of future growth.Among these businesses, the industrial fund segment has delivered particularly strong growth. In 2025, revenue related to the company’s industrial fund business reached approximately HKD 402 million, representing a year-on-year increase of about 37%. This shows that the segment has moved beyond a single management-fee model and entered a new phase driven by a dual engine of “management fees + investment returns.” At the same time, the company is advancing the launch of two core funds: a strategic emerging and future industries fund, and a special fund for asset restructuring, with its fund matrix continuing to expand.The asset management business has further strengthened the company’s earnings foundation. In 2025, Shoucheng Holdings assisted in the issuance of seven publicly offered REITs and served more than 20 projects, corresponding to a total issuance scale of over RMB 100 billion. The company also continued to expand its presence in technology parks, consumer infrastructure, data centers, and clean energy. In its static transportation business, the company has promoted an upgrade from a single parking-fee model to diversified commercial revenue generation. Innovative business revenue accounted for 20% of the segment, while revenue yield per parking space increased by 17%, demonstrating the company’s ability to achieve both stable cash flow and asset appreciation.Overall, what is most noteworthy about Shoucheng Holdings at present is not just its earnings growth itself, but the fact that its dual-core businesses of “industrial funds + asset management” have formed a complete closed loop, and the company is now moving from “completing transformation” to “realizing value.” The phrase “best period in history” is the most fitting testament to this pivotal leap forward.

From Parking Fees to ‘Mother Port’ Services for Autonomous Vehicles, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Is Rewriting the Business Model of Parking Lots

From Parking Fees to ‘Mother Port’ Services for Autonomous Vehicles, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Is Rewriting the Business Model of Parking Lots

HONG KONG, Mar 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) is redefining the commercial value of parking lots. According to information released in the company’s 2025 annual report, parking lots are no longer merely static spaces that rely on parking fees for profit. Instead, they are being upgraded into intelligent digital infrastructure nodes serving Robotaxis, Robovans, and even eVTOL aircraft. Shoucheng uses the term “mother port” to describe this transformation, meaning that parking lots in the future will do far more than provide parking spaces. They will also support charging, berthing, maintenance, dispatching, automatic docking, and other back-end support services, becoming critical hubs in autonomous mobility systems.This shift is, in essence, a rewriting of the business model. Traditional parking lots mainly depend on time-based parking fees. Under Shoucheng’s E Park model, however, revenue streams are expanding to include dispatch service fees for autonomous vehicles, charging, battery swapping, and hosting fees for robots, maintenance and OTA service fees, commercial display and advertising revenue, and intelligent business integration income. Accordingly, the core assets of a parking lot are no longer limited to the number of parking spaces, but now also include site resources, intelligent platforms, charging and battery-swapping facilities, dispatching capabilities, and ecosystem support capabilities for autonomous operations.Behind this transformation lies a change in the commercialization logic of the autonomous driving industry. In the past, the sector focused more on whether vehicles could operate on the road. Today, the key factors determining operating efficiency are increasingly concentrated in back-end functions such as charging, berthing, maintenance, and dispatching. Where vehicles go to recharge after completing orders, where they park during off-peak hours, how faults are handled, and how cross-regional fleets are deployed efficiently now determine not only whether a single vehicle can be put on the road, but also whether an entire fleet can sustain operations and scale up. For this reason, parking lots are no longer the end point of the mobility chain; they are becoming the starting point of the next round of operations.Shoucheng’s unique advantage lies in its strong ability to integrate site resources and drive industrial synergies. Through models such as PPP and BOT, the company has long acquired operating rights and concession rights, with business coverage spanning airports, healthcare, public services, and other diversified scenarios, giving it the foundation to build a city-level node network. At the same time, Shoucheng also has a dual-engine capability combining industrial funds and asset operations. On one end, it is strategically positioned in embodied intelligence and robotics; on the other, it upgrades static transportation sites, enabling parking lots to more smoothly accommodate the emerging needs of the autonomous driving and robotics industries.In terms of implementation, this model has already begun to prove itself. Shoucheng has advanced robotics applications in relevant scenarios at Terminal 3 of Beijing Capital International Airport, and together with Wisson Robotics, it has built a demonstration project featuring robots and automatic charging at the Chengdu ICD project, promoting the extension of underground parking lots from single-purpose parking spaces to intelligent operational scenarios featuring integrated parking and charging. This shows that the “mother port” model is not just a concept, but is gradually moving toward practical application.It is foreseeable that in the future, the key to competition among parking lots will no longer be simply the number of parking spaces or parking turnover rates, but rather who can connect dispersed nodes into a citywide service network covering charging, berthing, operations and maintenance, and dispatching needs. What Shoucheng Holdings is betting on is no longer just parking fee income, but a more imaginative entry point into downstream service infrastructure in the era of autonomous mobility. For Shoucheng, parking is not the destination; “mother port services” are the real starting point of its new business model. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK) Sees an Inflection Point Approaching for REITs and Plans to Substantially Scale Up Investment in 2026

Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK) Sees an Inflection Point Approaching for REITs and Plans to Substantially Scale Up Investment in 2026

HONG KONG, Mar 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK) is accelerating the build-out of its end-to-end REITs platform. In 2025, the company recorded investment income of HKD 222 million in this segment, along with dividend income of HKD 54.075 million, for a combined total of approximately HKD 276 million, representing about 19.2% of total revenue. This business has gradually become an important source of profit.At the same time, the company partnered with China Life to establish a REITs stabilization fund with a total size of RMB 10 billion, further extending its reach into capital allocation and strengthening its closed-loop capabilities across investment, management, operation, and exit. As the business continues to deepen, Shoucheng Holdings is simultaneously advancing allocations to existing REITs and building reserves of incremental infrastructure assets, thereby continuously enhancing its capabilities in asset sourcing, operational synergies, and capital operations.In his Chairman’s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang assessed that the infrastructure asset market is now approaching an “inflection point.” Following the earlier price correction, the company will comprehensively scale up investment in 2026, continue to actively position itself around high-quality infrastructure assets and REITs opportunities, and seize the next market window.

Behind the Fourfold Growth of the Beijing Robotics Fund in Four Years: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Locks In Its Position at the Infrastructure Gateway for Robotics Commercialization

Behind the Fourfold Growth of the Beijing Robotics Fund in Four Years: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Locks In Its Position at the Infrastructure Gateway for Robotics Commercialization

HONG KONG, Mar 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Against the backdrop of continued momentum in humanoid robots and embodied intelligence, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) is rapidly gaining market attention for its expanding presence in the robotics sector. According to the latest 2025 Chairman’s Statement, the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, which the company co-manages, has achieved approximately fourfold growth in portfolio valuation over the past four years, demonstrating strong capabilities in deal sourcing and value realization. At the same time, Shoucheng Holdings has invested in more than 20 leading companies in embodied intelligence and robotics, covering multiple areas including humanoid robots, quadruped robots, medical robotics, and the low-altitude economy, gradually building a relatively comprehensive industry footprint.Based on disclosed projects, the company’s investment portfolio already includes a number of representative enterprises such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Xinghaitu, TowardPi Medical, Volant, and DEEP Robotics. Management has also previously disclosed that the funds under the company’s management have cumulatively invested more than RMB 2 billion in the robotics industry, completing over 40 transactions. As the valuations of leading projects continue to rise and exit timelines gradually progress, Shoucheng Holdings is expected to unlock profits in the future through fund distributions, management fees, and carried interest.Taking Unitree Robotics, which has submitted a listing application, as an example, based on minimum post-offering dilution calculations, the value of the relevant equity stake held by the Beijing Robotics Fund has increased from approximately RMB 520 million to approximately RMB 1.55 billion, generating about RMB 1 billion in book value appreciation. This also reflects, from another angle, the return potential accumulated by Shoucheng Holdings through its forward-looking positioning in the robotics sector.In addition to investment returns, another differentiated advantage of Shoucheng Holdings lies in its ability to combine industrial investment with asset operation capabilities. Leveraging managed scenarios such as parking facilities, industrial parks, and airports, the company can provide portfolio robotics companies with support in product display, testing, energy replenishment, operations and maintenance, and commercialization deployment, gradually forming a closed-loop model of “investment + scenarios + operations.” This not only helps improve the deployment efficiency of portfolio companies, but also has the potential to enhance the utilization efficiency and commercial conversion capability of the company’s assets.In terms of shareholder returns, the company proposed a total dividend of HKD 780 million for 2025, corresponding to a dividend yield of approximately 5.6%. While continuing to increase its investment in robotics and embodied intelligence, Shoucheng Holdings has also demonstrated an operating profile that balances growth potential with shareholder returns.

America siap untuk ‘beberapa minggu’ operasi daratan di Iran – WaPo

America siap untuk ‘beberapa minggu’ operasi daratan di Iran – WaPo

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Donald Trump masih belum meluluskan sebarang rancangan pencerobohan Jabatan Perang (Department of War), menurut Washington Post Jabatan Perang AS dilaporkan sedang merangka rancangan untuk operasi darat yang berpotensi berlangsung selama beberapa minggu di Iran, walaupun Presiden AS Donald Trump berulang kali mendakwa bahawa Tehran telah pun kalah dalam perang yang berlangsung selama sebulan itu dan sedang merayu untuk mendapatkan perjanjian penyerahan diri. Sebarang misi darat tidak akan menjadi "pencerobohan skala penuh," sebaliknya hanya serbuan terhad oleh pasukan Operasi Khas dan tentera infantri konvensional, tegas beberapa pegawai AS yang bercakap dengan Washington Post dengan syarat tidak mahu namanya disiarkan. Objektif yang berpotensi termasuklah penaklukan Pulau Kharg, hab eksport minyak utama Iran, atau serbuan ke kawasan pantai berhampiran Selat Hormuz untuk memusnahkan senjata yang mampu menyasarkan perkapalan komersial dan tentera. Trump masih belum meluluskan sebarang rancangan Jabatan Perang tersebut. Setiausaha akhbar Rumah Putih, Karoline Leavitt, berkata adalah menjadi peranan Pentagon untuk membuat persiapan bagi menyediakan "pilihan maksimum" kepada ketua komander. Terdahulu pada hari Sabtu, Pusat Komando AS (US Central Command) menyatakan bahawa kapal serangan amfibia USS Tripoli telah menyertai kapal pengangkut pesawat USS Abraham Lincoln di rantau tersebut. Pasukan bantuan baharu itu merangkumi kira-kira 3,500 pelaut dan Marin AS dengan pesawat pengangkut dan serangan, serta aset serangan amfibia. Satu lagi kumpulan sedia amfibia AS – yang terdiri daripada kapal serangan amfibia kelas Wasp USS Boxer, kapal pendaratan dok kelas Whidbey Island USS Comstock, dan kapal dok pengangkutan amfibia kelas San Antonio USS Portland – juga dilaporkan sedang bergerak ke rantau tersebut. Sementara itu, Jabatan Perang juga sedang mengerahkan kumpulan kapal pengangkut pesawat ketiga ke kawasan tanggungjawab Pusat Komando AS untuk berpotensi menyertai operasi tempur menentang Iran, menurut laporan CBS dan CNN pada hari Jumaat. Dua kumpulan serangan kapal pengangkut – yang diketuai oleh USS Gerald R. Ford dan USS Abraham Lincoln – menerajui serangan AS ke atas Iran bulan lalu, sehingga kapal Ford mengalami kebakaran yang didakwa sebagai "bukan pertempuran" di atas kapal dan berundur ke Crete untuk pembaikan. Tidak jelas sama ada kapal Bush akan menyertai atau menggantikan kapal Ford.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump mengancam Cuba akan menjadi berikutnya selepas Iran dan Venezuela

Trump mengancam Cuba akan menjadi berikutnya selepas Iran dan Venezuela

(SeaPRwire) - Havana telah menyalahkan "sekatan ganas" AS terhadap pulau itu sebagai tanda kelemahan Washington sendiri Presiden AS Donald Trump telah mengatakan Cuba akan menjadi yang seterusnya semasa memuji “kejayaan” operasi ketenteraannya di Iran dan Venezuela, sementara Washington terus menindas Havana dengan sekatan minyak. Ancaman itu datang walaupun Havana bersetuju untuk bercakap dengan Washington dalam usaha untuk “mencari penyelesaian melalui dialog untuk perbezaan dua hala yang kita ada antara kedua-dua negara,” menurut Presiden Miguel Diaz-Canel. Bercakap di forum pelaburan di Miami pada Jumaat, presiden AS berkata dasar beliau iaitu “keamanan melalui kekuatan” – termasuk serbuan untuk menculik Presiden Venezuela Nicolas Maduro pada Januari dan keputusan untuk melancarkan perang ke atas Iran semasa perbincangan nuklear berterusan bulan lepas – telah “sangat, sangat berjaya.” “Saya telah membina tentera yang hebat ini. Saya berkata anda tidak akan pernah perlu menggunakannya. Tetapi kadangkala anda perlu menggunakannya. Dan Cuba adalah yang seterusnya, untuk makluman,” katanya kepada penonton. “Tetapi berlagak seolah-olah saya tidak berkata itu. Tolong berlagak seolah-olah saya tidak berkata itu. Tolong, tolong, tolong, media, tolong abaikan kenyataan itu. Terima kasih banyak. Cuba adalah yang seterusnya,” tambahnya. Trump telah berulang kali mengancam untuk “mengambil” Cuba “dalam bentuk tertentu,” memberi amaran tentang “sekatan minyak penuh” dan tarif ke atas negara yang membekalkan bahan api kepada pulau itu. Cuba telah menghadapi kekurangan bahan api yang teruk dan pemadaman kuasa dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini selepas Caracas, pernah menjadi sekutu terdekat Havana, menghentikan penghantaran minyak berikutan tekanan daripada Washington. Pada Sabtu, Menteri Luar Cuba Bruno Rodriguez menyalahkan “sekatan ganas” Washington terhadap bekalan bahan api, menyebutnya sebagai “serangan brutal” ke atas sistem ekonomi negara itu. “Selama lebih daripada 67 tahun, AS telah mengenakan peperangan ekonomi terhadap Cuba dengan niat untuk membahayakan ekonomi dan menafikan akses kepada pasaran dan teknologi,” katanya dalam kenyataan di X, dengan alasan bahawa “serangan tanpa belas kasihan” sedemikian terhadap kerajaan Cuba yang kononnya tidak cekap hanya menunjukkan kelemahan Washington sendiri. Sementara itu, Cuba telah melancarkan latihan awam-ketenteraan seluruh negara yang melibatkan askar simpanan dan unit tempatan, sebagai sebahagian daripada doktrin pertahanan “perang seluruh rakyat”nya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
