European Red Sea Naval Task Force Set To Launch Monday
Operation Aspides is a defensive task force created by the European Union to counter Houthi attacks on shipping. As the Iranian-backed Houthi militia continues attacking ships in the Red Sea region, another international protective task force is set to begin operations on Monday. Created by the European Union, Operation Aspides (Greek for shield) will be commanded by Italy and headquartered in Greece. It is unclear at the moment how many nations will provide assets, but the German Navy’s Type 124 Sachsen class air-defense frigate FGS Hessen set sail Feb. 8 from Wilhelmshaven to join Aspides, according to Janes. Greece, France and Italy have also agreed to participate, according to EU News, but it is unclear whether that means providing ships, aircraft or both. https://www.twz.com/news-features/eu...-launch-monday

^ Quite understandable but a real shame. I've sailed through Suez and Red Sea on a few occasions and it really is a beautiful experience.

Iran Production of Near Bomb-Grade Uranium Falls for First Time
Iran reduced its stockpile of near bomb-grade uranium over the past three months, a move that could ease some fear over a wider Middle East conflict as Tehran’s allies trade fire with US forces. Nuclear inspectors from the United Nations watchdog told diplomats Monday that Iran’s level of highly-enriched uranium has dropped 5% since November, compared with a 5% increase during the previous quarter. https://ground.news/article/iran-pro...st-time_d367f9
