April 2nd 1982: The Royal Marines throw down their weapons, bending barrels and taking out firing pins before marching out of Government House. Many are annoyed that a battle they are winning has been called off, but Hunt has agreed to the ceasefire to save civilian lives...

Kidnapping remains a constant threat in Nigeria. Boko Haram carry out abductions for ideological and propaganda purposes, but criminal gangs also routinely kidnap civilians for ransom. It’s a long-standing and complex security challenge. gbnews.com/news/world/islami… #nigeria #security #kidnap #terrorists #bokoharam

The key detail here is the “spotter”. Luxury watch robberies in Mayfair are often organised teams identifying targets outside restaurants and hotels before coordinating the theft. Sadly, this has become a common and well-established criminal model in central London. dailymail.co.uk/news/article… #london #londontrip #londonlife #luxury #security

The strike on a US tanker marks a significant escalation. From a maritime security perspective, it appears that Iran’s objective is to make the Strait of Hormuz too dangerous for commercial traffic thereby disrupting global energy markets. news.sky.com/video/iran-says… #straitofhormuz #shipping #maritimesecurity #maritime

Having worked with Kurdish forces in the past, I can say they are battle-hardened, disciplined and capable fighters. If they open a sustained front inside Iran, Tehran suddenly faces an internal security challenge alongside a wider regional conflict. dailymail.co.uk/news/article… #iranwar #iranwar2026 #kurds #kurdistan #iranisraelwar #usiranwar #usiranconflict

Iran claims it now has “complete control” of the Strait of Hormuz, with tanker traffic effectively halted. Key indicators: ◾️Reports of multiple attacks on tankers ◾️~3,200 vessels now idle in the Gulf ◾️~500 ships waiting outside the Strait ◾️~20% of global oil flows through this chokepoint The next phase will likely involve US-led naval escort operations, potentially supported by coalition partners already operating in the Gulf. #straitofhormuz #iran #iranwar #maritimesecurity
