Diário de Coimbra5 September 2026 at 22:00

Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency.

The targeted ships are said to have links to the United States, according to the news agency.

The Iranian action comes as retaliation for previous American attacks against Iranian oil tankers, in a context of escalating tensions between the two countries.

The Strait of Hormuz is a strategic sea lane for worldwide oil transportation, being a region of high geopolitical and economic importance.

For 500 years we have had the wrong map: "In fact, Greenland is 14 times smaller than Africa"

The United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of adopting a new world map that reflects the true sizes of countries, correcting a cartographic distortion that has persisted for about 500 years. The traditional Mercator map, used since the 16th century, significantly distorts the dimensions of territories, making Greenland appear larger than Africa, when in reality the African continent is 14 times larger than Greenland.
