Houthis control island key to strategic strait linking Europe to Asia

SIC Notícias11 September 2026 at 12:29

The Houthis control a key island of the strait linking Europe to Asia, according to the news. The Houthi advance toward the strait in the Red Sea caused an escalation of tension in the region.

In parallel, the United States and Iran carry out attacks in the waters of the Persian Gulf, further increasing the conflict in the Middle East region.

As a consequence of these military tensions, oil prices have soared in recent days, affecting international energy markets.

25 years later: how the attacks forever changed the US

Twenty-five years after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the United States still carries the marks of that tragedy that deeply changed American security, from rigorous airport procedures to border surveillance and the expansion of intelligence mechanisms. The attacks triggered the "war on terror," with invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq that generated lasting political and military consequences. The debate between freedom and security became central, with surveillance measures expanded at the expense of privacy and civil rights issues. Socially, Arab and Muslim communities faced greater discrimination, while a new generation of Americans knows September 11 mainly through schools and historical records. The legacy of that day remains alive at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum, which preserves the memory of nearly 3,000 victims.

Rosh Hashanah: Jewish New Year begins this Friday; understand why the turn of the year is not celebrated in January

Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, begins at dusk this Friday, September 11, 2026, marking the arrival of year 5787 in the Hebrew calendar. The period extends until nightfall on Sunday, September 13. The main difference in relation to the Gregorian calendar lies in the fact that the Hebrew system is lunisolar, considering simultaneously the cycles of the Moon and the Sun, which means the date is not fixed in the Western calendar. Rosh Hashanah corresponds to the first two days of the month of Tishrei, which is the seventh month in the Hebrew count, but the first in terms of religious and civil counting.
