Watch: Iran & US navies clash in Strait of Hormuz-- lifeline for global oil supplies

The incident has increased tensions in the region, raising concerns for the safety of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which is a vital lifeline for global oil supplies.

A dramatic clash unfolded between the US and Iranian naval forces in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. According to the US Navy, in a bid to seize them, Iranian forces unleashed a barrage of shots on oil tankers on July 5. The US Navy responded and even fired shots, causing the Iranian naval vessels to back off. Despite the attack, the targeted oil tanker defiantly continues its journey. This dangerous escalation has heightened tensions in the region, casting doubts on the safety of ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which is a vital lifeline for global oil supplies.

Chinese pilot flew in front of the nose of US aircraft over South China sea, says US Army
&nbsp;
&nbsp;

A Chinese fighter jet flew dangerously within 20 feet (six meters) of a much larger US air force surveillance aircraft over the South China Sea, the US military said Thursday.
In the December 21 incident, a Chinese Navy J-11 fighter pilot "performed an unsafe maneuver during an intercept of a US Air Force RC-135 aircraft," the US Indo-Pacific Command said in a statement.
The Chinese pilot flew in front of and within 20 feet of the nose of the US aircraft, "forcing the RC-135 to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision," it said.
The RC-135, "was lawfully conducting routine operations over the South China Sea in international airspace," the US command said.
The incident came as China has sent increasingly large groups of warplanes out over the sea towards Taiwan in a show of force, as Beijing stiffens its claim of sovereignty over the US-backed, self-ruled island.

The Marines’ ban on facial hair applies in basic training and “combat zones,” a designation the plaintiffs said in court covers over three dozen countries where hazard pay is given, the Washington Post newspaper reported.

US court rules in favour of Sikh recruits, orders Marines to allow beards, turbans 

The Marines&rsquo; ban on facial hair applies in basic training and &ldquo;combat zones,&rdquo; a designation the plaintiffs said in court covers over three dozen countries where hazard pay is given, the Washington Post newspaper reported.

A US court has ruled that Marine Corps cannot deny entry to Sikhs sporting a beard and wearing a turban, in a major victory for three recruits from the community who can now join the elite unit's basic training without having to forfeit their religious beliefs.
The trio of recruits - Aekash Singh, Jaskirat Singh, and Milaap Singh Chahal - had sought an exemption from a Marines grooming rule requiring them to shave their beards, with the men arguing it was their expression of commitment to their religious faith.
The Marine Corps told three Sikh men that they could serve only if they shaved before going through basic training.
They appealed to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit in September after a lower-court judge denied their request for a preliminary injunction that would have allowed them to enter basic training with their articles of faith.
&ldquo;They are now suffering and will continue to suffer grave, immediate, and ongoing injuries to the exercise of their faith,&rdquo; the three-judge bench of the US Court of Appeals here ruled on Friday.
&ldquo;A federal court has just ruled that Sikhs can maintain their religious beards while serving their country in the U.S. Marine Corps. Now, three Sikh recruits, who had previously been denied religious accommodations, can enter basic training,&rdquo; lawyer Eric Baxter, who represented the three men, tweeted.
&ldquo;This is a major ruling for religious freedom&mdash;for years, the Marine Corps has barred Sikh recruits with religious beards from entry into basic training. Today&rsquo;s ruling strikes down that rule as a "violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA),&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;No one should have to choose between serving God and country,&rdquo; he added in a series of tweets.
The Marines&rsquo; ban on facial hair applies in basic training and &ldquo;combat zones,&rdquo; a designation the plaintiffs said in court covers over three dozen countries where hazard pay is given, the Washington Post newspaper reported.
The Marines claimed that beards will impact "troop uniformity" and appearance among recruits, ultimately threatening national security.
Writing for the Court, Judge Millett stated that the Sikh recruits &ldquo;not only have a substantial likelihood of success on the merits&mdash;it is difficult to imagine them losing.&rdquo;

&ldquo;She noted that the Marine Corps has never explained why the Corps cannot apply the same or similar [religious] accommodations that the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and Coast Guard provide,&rdquo; Baxter said.
The US Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard all accommodate the religious requirements of Sikhism.
In the Sikh religion, it is mandatory for the male adherents to not trim their hair and beard along with keeping kanga (wooden comb), kirpan (small sword), kara (steel bracelet), and a white cotton undergarment (kachera).
"Sikhs have a long tradition of serving in militaries around the globe, motivated by their religious teaching to defend the defenseless. We are grateful that these Sikh recruits can continue that tradition&mdash;the ruling was made right in time for them to enter boot camp," Baxter tweeted.
&ldquo;They believe, as part of their religious duty, in defending the rights of others," Baxter told National Public Radio (NPR).
&ldquo;This was also a win for our national security. At a time of historic recruiting shortfalls, the Marines now have access to a new community of Americans who have a history of bravely serving in the military,&rdquo; he tweeted.
The Marine Corps allows medically required beards and diverse hairstyles for women, and has relaxed its rules around tattoos.
In 2021, NPR reported that the Marines planned to address its lack of diversity and retention problems. Approximately 75% of Marines leave at the end of their four-year term, the highest turnover rate among the military services, according to the article.
The ruling means that the three men are allowed to go ahead with training, while the Marine Corps considers a possible appeal.
"They should really just recognize it's time to make this change and let all Americans serve without having to abandon their religious &ndash; their core religious belief," Baxter said.
