Estados Unidos impidió el ingreso de 84 buques comerciales con destino a Irán desde el inicio del bloqueo en Ormuz

El Ejército de Estados Unidos elevó a 84 el número de buques mercantes desviados en el estrecho de Ormuz como consecuencia del cierre perimetral impuesto en la zona, mientras la administración de Donald Trump mantuvo la tregua indefinida con Irán y continuaron las negociaciones indirectas entre ambos países para alcanzar un acuerdo de paz.
“A fecha de 18 de mayo, las fuerzas del Ejército de Estados Unidos han desviado 84 buques mercantes y han inmovilizado cuatro”, informó el Mando Central del Ejército estadounidense (CENTCOM) en un mensaje difundido en redes sociales.
La situación en el estrecho de Ormuz continúa bajo alta tensión después de más de un mes de restricciones marítimas impulsadas por Washington en uno de los principales corredores energéticos del mundo. Las autoridades iraníes cuestionaron las medidas estadounidenses y señalaron que el bloqueo marítimo y la incautación de embarcaciones iraníes representan una violación del alto el fuego alcanzado el 8 de abril.
El anuncio del CENTCOM coincidió con las declaraciones de Trump sobre la suspensión de un ataque militar previsto contra Irán. El presidente estadounidense afirmó que tomó la decisión tras pedidos de Qatar, Arabia Saudita y Emiratos Árabes Unidos, en medio de avances diplomáticos con Teherán.
“El Emir de Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, el Príncipe Heredero de Arabia Saudita, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, y el Presidente de los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, me han pedido que pospongamos nuestro ataque militar planeado contra la República Islámica de Irán”, escribió Trump en su red social.

El mandatario estadounidense sostuvo que los líderes árabes le transmitieron que “se están llevando a cabo negociaciones serias” y que “se alcanzará un acuerdo que será muy aceptable para los Estados Unidos de América, así como para todos los países de Oriente Medio y más allá”.
Trump también remarcó que el eventual entendimiento incluirá “la prohibición de armas nucleares para Irán”. En el mismo mensaje agregó: “He dado instrucciones al Secretario de Guerra, Pete Hegseth, al Presidente del Estado Mayor Conjunto, General Daniel Caine, y a las Fuerzas Armadas de los Estados Unidos, de que NO llevaremos a cabo el ataque programado contra Irán mañana (martes)”.
No obstante, el mandatario republicano advirtió que las fuerzas estadounidenses permanecerán listas para actuar si fracasan las conversaciones. “Les he dado instrucciones adicionales para que estén preparados para proceder con un ataque a gran escala contra Irán, en cualquier momento, en caso de que no se llegue a un acuerdo aceptable”, expresó.
Horas antes, Trump endureció el tono frente a Teherán durante una entrevista telefónica con el diario New York Post. “No estoy dispuesto a nada en este momento”, respondió al ser consultado sobre posibles concesiones vinculadas al programa nuclear iraní. Además, sostuvo que Irán “sabe lo que va a pasar pronto”, aunque evitó dar precisiones.
Desde Teherán, el Jefe de Estado iraní Masud Pezeshkian respondió que el diálogo con Washington no implica una renuncia a las posiciones iraníes. “La República Islámica de Irán entabla el diálogo con dignidad, autoridad y con el objetivo de preservar los derechos de la nación”, escribió en redes sociales.
El mandatario iraní añadió que su país “bajo ninguna circunstancia renunciará a los derechos legítimos del pueblo y del país”. También aseguró: “Con sensatez y con todas nuestras fuerzas, hasta el último aliento, serviremos al pueblo y salvaguardaremos los intereses y el honor de Irán”.
Las conversaciones entre Washington y Teherán continúan con Pakistán como intermediario. Islamabad encabeza el proceso diplomático desde el alto el fuego alcanzado el 8 de abril, aunque las diferencias entre las partes todavía impiden una segunda ronda formal de negociaciones.
El portavoz del Ministerio de Exteriores iraní, Esmaeil Baqaei, confirmó que los contactos diplomáticos siguen activos. Según la agencia estatal IRNA, Estados Unidos transmitió la semana pasada “una serie de puntos revisados y consideraciones” a través de Pakistán, en respuesta a una propuesta iraní previa compuesta por 14 puntos.

‘You’re destroying your countries’: Is Europe finally heeding Trump’s warning on illegal immigration?

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Earlier in June, the European Union appeared to finally react to concerns raised by President Donald Trump and many European voters over illegal immigration by introducing tougher border entry rules for the 27-nation bloc.
The EU agreed on new, stricter rules regarding migration and asylum. The laws are specifically designed to ensure that illegal/undocumented migrants who enter the bloc are processed and, where necessary, quickly sent to deportation centers in countries outside the EU.
People seeking asylum will be screened for identity, security, and their health before even entering any asylum system. The border officials will now track and record non-EU citizens entering and exiting the bloc. Plus, it will use biometric data such as fingerprints and facial recognition. And all member states must now help one another and share information.
The Associated Press reported that the provisional deal struck by the EU’s three main institutions is expected to go to EU lawmakers and governments, where approval is expected.

Alan Mendoza, founder and executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital that «The EU’s demography is changing Europe’s culture. We are now having to deal with people who are not integrating with the local customs.»
While the U.K. is not part of the EU, he said, «Britain’s efforts are behind the new EU rules.» Noting the country has «not managed to have offshore migrant holding centers, which would make sure Britain is not seen as a soft touch.»

Other experts say the longer countries take to fix the problem, the harder it will be to deal with. Some say it’s already too late.
While Europe’s workaday men and women have clearly seen the problems of illegal immigration for years, their leaders are only just getting the message.

President Donald Trump told world leaders about the damage caused by a flood of undocumented migrants into Europe during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly last year. «You’re destroying your countries,» he said. «Europe is in serious trouble; they’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before.»
JD VANCE’S WARNING ON EUROPE’S FUTURE SHINES SPOTLIGHT ON CONTINENT’S GROWING LIST OF PROBLEMS

Just last week, Vice President JD Vance commented on the stabbing death of the 18-year-old British man who was stabbed to death.
In part, Vance posted, «Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.»
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also made reference to the topic during a speech to commemorate D-Day in France on the weekend. «Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not,» he said.
Elsewhere in the EU, Spain seems to have broken with the rest of the bloc on its new stance on undocumented immigration. The country decided to legalize half a million undocumented migrants.

«When undocumented migrants arrive, they get papers, and they get social security,» Javier Negre, owner of the La Derecha Diario newspaper, told Fox News Digital. He says a lot of the push to house migrants has come via nongovernmental organizations. «NGOs had a big business, and they promoted illegal immigration,» he says.
Another problem is that many undocumented migrants don’t choose to integrate into their new domicile. «They don’t have the same values,» Negre said. «We import a lot of people, and some realize they can steal iPhones and wallets,» he said, commenting on the rise in crimes.

Critics of the move mostly came from the European left and NGOs. Mélissa Camara, from the French Green party, said the deal was «a historic setback» for human rights in the bloc,» the Associated Press reported.
«The legalization of return hubs outside the European Union, the green light for the detention of minors, home visits inspired by ICE practices: the legal arsenal serving a xenophobic ideology is now complete,» she said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Reporter’s Notebook: Tlaib forces rare House procedure after Republican accuses her of defending terrorists

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
«Words taken down.»
That term of art may not mean much off Capitol Hill. But it’s a phrase which usually signals there’s a ruckus in the House of Representatives.
The House witnessed one such melee recently. Lawmakers debated a war powers resolution for Lebanon. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., pushed the measure, hoping to restrict President Donald Trump’s conflict in Iran. Especially as other places in the region emerge as flashpoints.
Tlaib, a Palestinian-America, is one of only two Muslim women in Congress. She is one of the most controversial members of Congress. And she often speaks out against Israel.
«We must end U.S. participation in the Israeli apartheid regime’s invasion of Lebanon. The Israeli military continues to target journalists like Amal Khalil and use our tax dollars to commit war crimes,» said Tlaib.
RASHIDA TLAIB HIT WITH HOUSE CENSURE THREAT, ACCUSED OF ‘CELEBRATING TERRORISM’ IN PRO-PALESTINIAN SPEECH

But the House floor devolved into a verbal fracas when Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, tore into Tlaib, attacking her personally and mentioning Hezbollah during the floor debate.
«Its members are butchers that you like to hang out with to a certain extent,» charged Miller, who is Jewish. «Yes, you advocate for terrorists on a daily basis. You advocate for a terrorist regime every single day.»
Tlaib hollered at Miller from across the chamber, but it wasn’t clear what she said since the Michigan Democrat wasn’t on mic.
«Oh, I’m sorry. Are we getting a little emotional?» chided Miller.
Tlaib erupted, at that, shouting even more loudly at Miller.
Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., presided over the debate from the dais. Obernolte had enough of the verbal judo and slammed down the gavel.
«Colleagues, this is a serious topic. We will debate it respectfully and deliberately,» admonished Obernolte. «Is the gentlewoman from Michigan making a motion?»
NANCY MACE CHALLENGES DEM REP TO ‘TAKE IT OUTSIDE’ AFTER ‘CHILD, LISTEN’ COMMENT SPARKS CHAOS

Tlaib had made it to one of the mics in the chamber by this point.
«Yes, Mr. Speaker, I am. That is a direct attack on my character. I please request to strike the words down,» said Tlaib.
And there it was. «Words taken down.»
Tlaib may have garbled the precise verbiage of the parliamentary request. But her motion brought debate on the war powers resolution and all other business before the House to a screeching halt.
«The gentleman from Ohio will be seated,» Obernolte instructed Miller.
In effect, Tlaib’s motion is the parliamentary equivalent of pulling someone over for speeding. You might get a ticket. Maybe not. Especially if you’re cooperative with the officer. But the authorities will first investigate. And that’s what unfolded on the House floor.
During this stasis, the House conducts no business. The House suspends speeches. Amendments. Votes. Nothing happens on the floor until they figure out if someone broke the rules.
The phrase «words taken down» refers to the process of the House’s institutional staff and stenographers to document or «take down» language uttered by a member that may violate House rules. The House prohibits members from personal attacks on fellow lawmakers, impugning the motives of their colleagues or «engaging in personalities.» One member can’t disparage another personally.
Tlaib clearly believed that Miller broke House rules by saying she would «like to hang out» and «advocate for terrorists.» Tlaib also believed the line about her «getting a little emotional» may have crossed the line, too.
‘SQUAD’ MEMBER DELIVERS REAL-TIME WHITEBOARD RESPONSES TO TRUMP: ‘NO KING!’

Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, said he stood by his remarks associating Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., with Hezbollah «butchers.» (Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images; Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)
If it’s pretty clear that a member broke the rules of decorum, someone from leadership or key staff may ask offending lawmaker to withdraw the language in question and apologize. But if the member resists, the House has no alternative but to rule that member out of order. The House then expunges the speech and he or she is suspended from speaking on the House floor the rest of the day.
If the chair rules that member violated the rules, it’s possible that someone could appeal the ruling of the chair. That would entail a roll call vote, where the entire House votes yes or no on whether they believe their colleague broke the rules. Or, another member might move to «table the appeal of the ruling of the chair.» In that scenario, the House votes on whether to kill or set aside the appeal. Thus, the vote is a step removed from actually voting on appealing the chair’s ruling.
After an hour of delay, it was clear that Miller wouldn’t apologize or withdraw his statement.
«The words of the gentleman from Ohio contain an allegation that the gentlewoman from Michigan is a ‘butcher’ and affiliated with a terrorist organization,» said Obernolte. «Such remarks impugn the patriotism and loyalty of the member of the House.»
Obernolte added that «the remarks contain personalities and are not in order. Without objection, the offending words are stricken from the record.»
So the House sanctioned Miller for breaking the rules and benched him for the remainder of the day.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla., managed the Lebanon war powers debate on the floor for the GOP. Since the House muted Miller, Mast spoke on his behalf.
«I’m going to deliver a message from Rep. Miller of Ohio,» said Mast, who quoted this Republican colleague. «‘Yes, I said it. I own it. And I stand by it.’»

The Florida Republican then asked the House if he could submit for the record an article entitled ‘Rashida Talib, member of secret Facebook Group where Hamas Terrorists glorified.’»
Tlaib objected.
Mast then tried to submit into the record a transcript about Tlaib allegedly speaking about genocide.
Tlaib objected to that as well.
Yours truly first encountered a parliamentary donnybrook like this in 1994 while working at C-SPAN. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., tangled with then-Rep. Pete King, R-N.Y. The House ruled Waters out of order. Then-House Speaker Tom Foley, D-Wash., came to the floor to mete out the punishment, not leaving the umpiring to a more junior lawmaker.
The day after the Tlaib/Miller brouhaha, Obernolte released a bipartisan framework to help establish guardrails for AI.
I pressed Obernolte on how an AI chatbot might handle the dust-up if it were presiding over the House.
«AI is actually very good at this. You give it a rules manual and then you give it a specific instance and say ‘Is this in compliance with rules or is this a violation of the rules?’» said Obernolte. «I think last night was obviously someone engaging in personalities. And, I think I made the correct ruling. I think AI would have also made the correct ruling.»
It wasn’t that long ago that the actual Speaker of the House came to the floor to sort out a kerfuffle between two members. Could the House ever delegate such refereeing to AI?

Taking down words? Ruling members out of order? Suspending members for additional speeches that day if they get out of line?
One can imagine that members will say a lot of words worthy of being taken down if AI ever becomes the parliamentary umpire in the House of Representatives.
