  • Dire Straits for Commercial Shipping Understanding Insurance Coverage in Potential Choke Points
    INSIGHTS NOVEMBER 2018 Dire straits for commercial shipping Understanding insurance coverage in potential choke points Concerns with the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hormuz The Bab el-Mandeb Strait (or “Gate of Tears”) is at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. This narrow waterway must be navigated by all commercial vessels trading between Europe and Asia in order to avoid the far longer, time-consuming, and thus more costly routes around southern Africa or through the Panama Canal. Perim Island is situated close to the Yemeni side of the strait, which means that most international shipping, both north and southbound, keeps to designated shipping lanes to the west, or Djibouti With over 90% of international trade being carried by sea, side, of this island.

  • Iranian Naval Provocations
    NatSec Brief - August 2021 JINSA’s Gemunder Center for Defense and Strategy Iranian Naval Provocations Blaise Misztal - Vice President for Policy Charles B. Perkins - Director for U.S.-Israel Security Policy Jonathan Ruhe - Director of Foreign Policy Ari Cicurel - Senior Policy Analyst An Iranian suicide drone attack near Oman against the Israeli-operated MT Mercer Street killed two crewmembers on July 29, marking the most significant escalation in Tehran’s aggression at sea since 2019. The attack is an alarming convergence of two dangerous trends in Iran’s aggressive activities: its maritime harassment and increasing use of drones. This year, Iran and its proxies are increasingly using drones to strike U.S. service members, partners, and interests in Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen, with limited U.S. response to date. Now, Tehran is signaling its willingness and ability to apply the lessons it has learned about drones—including its relative impunity—to its maritime aggression. Shortly after the Mercer Street attack, reports indicate that Iranian hijackers took control of the MV Asphalt Princess, a Panama-flagged tanker, in the Gulf of Oman on August 3. To deter future Iranian naval and drone aggression, the United States needs a forceful, persistent, and integrated response, alongside its partners, that disrupts Tehran’s ability to mount such attacks and instills fear of future U.S. reactions. Otherwise, Iran is likely to only escalate its attacks, as it did in 2019. What Happened? • The United States, United Kingdom, Israel, and Romania have alleged that multiple Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) attacked the MT Mercer Street near Oman on July 29, killing the Romanian captain and one British crew member.

Description of Number, Person and Tense Features in the Verbal Morphologies of Jibbāli and Lari Khalsa Al Aghbari and Muhammad Ourang Abstract: The study describes a few linguistic features in the verbal morphologies of two understudied languages: Jibbāli and Lari. Jibbāli, a Modern South Arabian language spoken in the southern part of the Sultanate of Oman and Lari, an Indo-Iranian language spoken in Iran, are at risk of being endangered due to the facts that (1) they lack a writing system, (2) they are not taught at schools, (3) they are not the official languages in Oman and Iran and, most importantly, (4) there is no effort recorded to preserve these languages. Therefore, the study aims at exposing the linguistic richness of Jibbāli and Lari through describing the tendencies of their verbal morphologies. This may help revitalize a substantial linguistic aspect of these languages. However, since this study is limited in space, it only focuses on certain morphological features which make these languages stand out. The researchers observe a few undocumented linguistic tendencies in Jibbāli and Lari which may attract attention for further studies.

In January 1968, Britain announced its decision to withdraw from Persian Gulf in 1971 and constituting a federation consist of Bahrain, Qatar and Trucial Emirates. Iran knowing itself the owner of Bahrain, could get back the Tunbs and Abu Musa islands , in return for recognizing independence of Bahrain and constituting of United Arab Emirates. Iraq, Libya, South Yemen and the UAE complained against Iran to the UNSC. By recommendation of an Arab country, the SC terminated the subject, so Iran’s sovereignty is taking proceeding so long, and its ownership is certain.

  • Mass Water Transfer and Water-Level Fluctuations in Farur Island, Persian Gulf
    Research in Marine Sciences Volume 5, Issue 3, 2020 Pages 764 - 770 Mass water transfer and water-level fluctuations in Farur Island, Persian Gulf Mojtaba Zoljoodi1, Eram Ghazi2, and Reyhane Zoljoodi3, * 1Faculty member and assistant professor, Atmospheric science Meteorological Research Center (ASMERC), Tehran, Iran 2Marine Science and Technology, Science and Research, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran 3Candidate of bachelor of university of Tehran, Faculty engineering of university of Tehran, Tehran, Iran Received: 2020-06-02 Accepted: 2020-09-10 Abstract In this paper, a theoretical model is presented for coastal flows where parameters such as water level fluctuation, current, and mass transfer on the shallow shores of Farur Island are discussed. Parameters used include uniform coastal area (constant depth), interval wave breaks, and the slope of the coast after constant depth and water depth during wave break. There are two very important fractions in this context: constant depth relative to the balance between pressure gradient, and tension induced by the wave associated with the current on the shallow coral reef. The average of water transfer obtained 0.277 Sverdrup which was more in the north and northeast of Farur Island and less in northwest and southwest parts. A mean sea level variation up to 77 cm was calculated. Regarding the different slops over the study area, the vertical shears around the Island have been considered. It is notable that the water level fluctuation and transfer have been calculated after changing the parameters to non-dimensional and in dimensional analysis frame, and also based on the results derived from previous studies.

The aim of this study was to identify the fauna and dangerous species of scorpions in Roudan County, southern Iran. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in 10 stations in Hormozgan Province. Scorpion sampling was done randomly by searching for their shelter and digging out their nests during day, and with the use of UV light during night from February 2013 to October 2014. Data of scorpion stings were obtained from health center of Hormozgan Province during 2014–2016. Results: Overall, 155 scorpions were collected on a set of eight species belonging to Buthidae and Hemiscorpiidae fam- ilies. These species were identified as Mesobuthus persicus, Mesobuthus phillipsi, Hottentotta schach, Odontobuthus doriae, Compsobuthus persicus, Orthochirus farzanpayi, Androctonus crassicauda and Hemiscorpius acanthocercus.
