Times of Israel reports Iran asking for control of the Strait of Hormuz. The report is questionable. Iran has not made the demand in those words. The Strait is a negotiating card. Now it wants to regulate the #waterway with #Oman, but is open to talks.

After the picture description, l have written a poem inspired by this scene. Our monochromatic picture has a soft, slightly blurred background that gives it a calm, almost dreamlike atmosphere. In the foreground, sharply in focus, there is a metal mooring bollard fixed into a stone or concrete edge. The bollard is dark, sturdy, and slightly weathered, with bolts anchoring it in place. Its rounded top is lighter in colour, worn smooth, and marked with a dark circular spot. Around it, the ground is rough and textured, with patches of grass creeping along the edge. Beyond the bollard, the scene gently fades out of focus. A still canal stretches across the middle of the image, its surface smooth like glass. The water reflects the buildings on the opposite bank, creating a soft mirror image that blends into the ripples. Across the canal, a row of modern apartment buildings stands in muted tones. Their balconies and windows are visible but softened by the blur, making them feel distant and quiet. Above them, a cloudy sky hangs low, filled with layered, heavy clouds that add a sense of stillness and perhaps a hint of melancholy. The composition draws your attention first to the solid, grounded bollard, then lets your gaze drift into the softer, reflective distance of the water and buildings. And finally our picture is finished with a white border frame. And now for my poem. I call it…The world seems small. A quiet post beside the flow, Where passing boats once paused below, Now stands in stillness, worn and sure, A keeper of the calm and pure. The water holds a softened dream, Of distant walls and silvered gleam, While clouds press low in muted grey, And time drifts slowly, far away. No voices call, no footsteps near, Just echoes only memory hears And in that hush, the world seems small, Reflected, fading… yet holding all.
Morning #BlueSky ☕️ “The World Seems Small” is the title of the poem in the #AltText .
May it bring you all closer together. Have a beautiful day friends ☺️

About 40 countries discussed joint action to reopen the #Strait of #Hormuz and stop #Iran holding "the global economy hostage," #Britain said, after Trump said securing the #waterway was for others to resolve.
Pulled over 1,000 lbs. out of Pogue's Run this weekend. This bear was the most interesting! #Indianapolis #keepindianapolisbeautiful #waterway #cleanup #Brookside #poguesrun #trash #litter #tire
Amjad Taha: "Yes not the #EU,
not the #cowards in #NATO,
but the #UAE, with its #navy,
is pushing countries to form a #coalition to ensure the #world is not held #hostage by the #Islamic #regime in #Iran,
and that shipping can safely pass through this #vital #Gulf #waterway."
Stalnox (with a Traveler's Sword stuck in its eye): OW BRO, FUCK!!! Link (dully checking out a chest): Welp, the Stalnox was a fun distraction. Did he have anything good? DUH-NUH-NUH-NUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Link holds up (Wind Waker style) a Hylian Shield, staring in awe at its shiny and very high defense stat. Link: OH SHIT WHADDUP!!!

A view of the South Gate Bridge facing west. Photo was taken from nearby Nano Nagle Bridge, so the viewer is over the water (south channel of the River Lee). The day is overcast. Bare-branched trees can be seen in the distance, as can the spires of St. Fin Barre's Cathedral (left side of the screen). Apparently it's a "triple span limestone arch bridge" built in 1713. Tge bridge, the walls lining the channel, and the cathedral are dark grey. Some of the buildings nearby have their walls painted buff, pastel pink, or red.
The water was churning under the South Gate Bridge today. Looks more tranquil in the photo.

#Iran deployed about a #dozen #mines in the #Strait of #Hormuz, two sources familiar with the matter said, in a move likely to complicate reopening the #waterway — an important route for shipping #oil and #liquefied #natural #gas.
At least a dozen clusters of ships have appeared near the Strait of Hormuz, a likely sign of elevated electronic interference around the waterway that’s central to the US and Israeli war against Iran. https://bloom.bg/3Nhr1k5 📷: Bloomberg
