Iran Hardens Hormuz Position After Netanyahu's UN Speech Triggers Walkout (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Iran hardened its public position on the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, insisting that the United States must lift its naval blockade of Iranian ports before formal negotiations can resume, even as diplomatic efforts to end the nearly seven-month war intensified on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Talks described by regional diplomats as an exchange of positions rather than genuine negotiations produced no breakthrough this week, according to reports from the region
Houthis Capture Mocha as Yemen's Coastal Defense Line Collapses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The defensive line that had held for several days collapsed Thursday. Yemeni government sources told Reuters and Agence France-Presse that Houthi forces had captured the Red Sea port city of Mocha, a position Saudi-backed troops had spent the previous week trying to defend.

Read excerpt
In the pre-dawn darkness on an island in the Taiwan Strait, Taiwanese troops pulled long, gleaming 105mm shells from green plastic canisters.
