报道称丹麦曾秘密准备炸毁格陵兰岛跑道以阻止美军飞机

(SeaPRwire) -   据丹麦公共广播公司DR最新报道，今年早些时候，因担忧美国可能入侵，丹麦准备动用炸药破坏格陵兰岛的机场跑道，还运入了血液储备。据EuroNews报道，这些措施是一项应急计划的一部分，该计划包括今年1月向该岛部署部队并携带炸药，以便在必要时炸毁跑道，阻止美国飞机降落。这些措施被列明在一份日期为1月13日的丹麦军事行动命令中，DR称其已经查阅了这份命令。此番准备工作是在唐纳德·特朗普总统宣称出于国家安全考虑美国应当控制格陵兰岛，导致局势紧张升级之际展开的。格陵兰总理延斯-弗雷德里克·尼尔森与丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森多次拒绝了特朗普收购该岛的要求。BBC表示，DR的报道基于12名来自丹麦政府和军方最高层的消息源，以及丹麦盟友法国、德国境内的消息源。一名未具名的丹麦军方官员对DR表示：“既然特朗普一直说他想要买下格陵兰岛……我们必须认真对待所有可能的情况。”丹麦和数个欧洲盟友还以一场名为Arctic Endurance的北约演习的名义向格陵兰岛部署了部队。而据DR援引的消息源，这次部署实际上是作战行动。报道称，士兵抵达时不仅配备了标准军用装备，还携带了医疗物资和炸药。法国、德国和瑞典也参与了1月的这次部署。尽管做了这些准备，丹麦当局仍试图避免与华盛顿方面的局势升级。1月21日，特朗普与北约秘书长马克·吕特宣布了一项模糊的格陵兰问题“框架”协议，但具体细节仍不明确。在达沃斯世界经济论坛上，特朗普称：“我不想动用武力，我也不会动用武力。美国只想要格陵兰岛这个地方。”3月17日，美国北方司令部（NORTHCOM）指挥官格雷戈里·吉约特上将表示：“我们正通过国务院与丹麦合作，扩大1951年条约中的部分授权，以增加我方对格陵兰岛各处基地的使用权。但我们通过NORTHCOM开展的所有行动都经过格陵兰和丹麦方面同意。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Global Capital Reset Takes Centre Stage at Hall Chadwick’s U.S. Capital Access Forum in Singapore

HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tension, shifting trade alliances and accelerating technological disruption, global corporate leaders and investors gathered in Singapore last week for Hall Chadwick’s U.S. Capital Access Forum: the Art of an IPO, exploring how companies are repositioning themselves for a new era of global capital formation.Held over two days at Capella Hotel, Sentosa Island, Singapore, the Forum convened senior executives, capital markets leaders and technology innovators to examine the evolving relationship between capital markets, supply chains, emerging technologies and national economic strategy.Participants also explored how geopolitical competition, industrial policy and supply-chain realignment are reshaping investment flows across sectors including critical minerals, artificial intelligence, digital assets and financial infrastructure.The Forum featured Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, as keynote speaker. In his address, he discussed how the world is increasingly recognising the risks of strategic dependence within global supply chains and the need for nations and corporations to strengthen domestic and allied production capacity in critical sectors. He also emphasised that capital markets are increasingly shaped by geopolitical and policy considerations, particularly in areas such as energy, technology and industrial capability.The programme also brought together senior industry figures including Robert Friedland, Founder and Executive Co-Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines; Bob McCooey, Chairman of Nasdaq APAC; Mick McMullen, Chairman of Metals Acquisition Corp II; Dulguun Erdenebaatar, CEO of Boroo Pte Ltd; Jared Shaw, CFO of Animoca Brands; Amar Bedi, CEO of Tashi Network; Gary Dugan, CEO of The Global CIO Office; and David Brudenell, Co-CEO of Decidr.ai, and many more.Across the programme, speakers examined the growing convergence of capital markets, technology and geopolitics, with particular attention to how global companies can access U.S. capital markets while navigating regulatory shifts, supply-chain volatility and emerging technological disruption.Opening the Forum, Hall Chadwick Managing Partner Richard Albarran said the global investment landscape is entering a new phase in which capital access, technological capability and geopolitical positioning are increasingly intertwined.Richard Albarran, Managing Partner of Hall Chadwick, said: “We are entering a period where capital markets, critical resources and technological capability are becoming deeply intertwined with national economic strategy.This Forum was created to bring together global leaders to explore how companies can access U.S. capital markets while navigating an increasingly complex geopolitical and investment landscape.”Albarran noted that Hall Chadwick is actively supporting companies pursuing international capital strategies, including transactions announced during the Forum involving major critical minerals and energy infrastructure projects.A major theme across the Forum was the restructuring of global supply chains and the increasing strategic importance of energy transition resources and critical minerals, which are becoming central to both economic development and national security.During the panel discussion “The Supply Chain Scramble”, Mick McMullen, Chairman of Metals Acquisition Corp II, and Dulguun Erdenebaatar, Chief Executive Officer of Boroo Pte Ltd, joined Rod Colwell, CEO of Controlled Thermal Resources, and Tony Sage, CEO of Critical Metals Corp, to share their perspectives on the growing urgency of securing strategic resources, strengthening downstream processing capabilities and building more resilient supply chains amid rising geopolitical competition.Capital markets leaders also examined how global exchanges are adapting to evolving cross-border listing trends, particularly as companies explore U.S. IPO and SPAC structures to access international capital.Sharing at the panel discussion “Future Vibrancy on Nasdaq: AI & Robotics”, Bob McCooey, Chairman of Nasdaq APAC, said: “Most companies belong in their local markets, but every year a number of companies with global ambitions choose to list internationally. When they make that decision, we believe Nasdaq offers the strongest platform for global capital and liquidity.”Sessions also explored topics ranging from the institutional integration of digital assets and stablecoins, to the growing role of artificial intelligence in enterprise systems and capital markets infrastructure.Speakers highlighted the increasing strategic importance of AI-driven enterprise capability, with companies seeking to develop sovereign technology infrastructure capable of supporting global scale and resilience.Throughout the Forum, participants discussed how investors and corporations are navigating a period of heightened volatility while positioning themselves for the next phase of global economic growth.Many noted that the interplay between capital markets, geopolitical competition, technological innovation and industrial policy will likely define global investment strategies for the coming decade.The Forum concluded with a forward-looking discussion on how corporations and investors are adapting to a rapidly evolving global landscape shaped by geopolitical competition, supply-chain realignment and accelerating technological change. Participants noted that access to deep and liquid capital markets, particularly in the United States, will remain a critical advantage for companies seeking to scale globally, while cross-border hubs such as Singapore will continue to play an important role in facilitating capital flows between East and West.Reflecting the growing convergence between energy infrastructure, critical minerals and global capital markets, the Forum also coincided with the announcement of a proposed business combination between Controlled Thermal Resources (CTR) and Plum Acquisition Corp. IV, which would enable CTR to advance development of its Hell’s Kitchen geothermal and critical minerals project in California. Hall Chadwick is serving as exclusive corporate, financial and lead capital markets advisor to CTR on the transaction.Richard Albarran, Managing Partner, Hall Chadwick, delivers opening remarks at the U.S. Capital Access Forum: The Art of an IPO, held at Capella Hotel, Sentosa Island, Singapore.Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President, The Trump Organization, delivers the keynote address “Trade, Sovereignty & the Capital Reset” at the U.S. Capital Access Forum in Singapore.Robert Friedland, Founder and Executive Co-Chairman, Ivanhoe Mines, speaks during his keynote address “The Dawn of the Copper Age” at the U.S. Capital Access Forum.Bob McCooey, Chairman, Nasdaq APAC, speaks at the panel discussion “Future Vibrancy on Nasdaq: AI & Robotics” and delivers closing remarks at the U.S. Capital Access Forum.Panel discussion “The Supply Chain Scramble” at the U.S. Capital Access Forum.From left to right:Lucy Greenleaf, Co-master of ceremoniesRod Colwell, Chief Executive Officer, ACR;Mick McMullen, Chairman, Metals Acquisition Corp II;Tony Sage, Chief Executive Officer, Critical Metals Corp;Dulguun Erdenebaatar, Chief Executive Officer, Boroo Pte Ltd.

伊朗最高领袖与独家JW使馆住宅有“视线”关联

(SeaPRwire) -   据多家报道，伊朗最高领袖穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊被指与两套俯瞰伦敦以色列大使馆的豪华公寓有关联。安全专家称，该位置可能提供"永久性监视"。这两处位于肯辛顿区、价值数百万美元的房产紧邻备受关注的大使馆建筑群，是由英国媒体根据一项针对哈梅内伊潜在海外资产的为期一年的调查结果所确认的。《泰晤士报》于3月5日报道称，其中一栋建筑"紧邻位于宫殿绿地的以色列大使馆"，使得这些住宅异常接近以色列最敏感的外交场所之一。这些披露源于Bloomberg的一项调查，该调查指控哈梅内伊的资产组合可能遍布多个国家，包括在伦敦的高价值房地产（总计约1.38亿美元）以及在欧洲和海湾地区的资产。据英国媒体报道，这两套伦敦公寓据称于2014年和2016年通过中间人购得，位于建筑的高层，为观察以色列大使馆建筑群的后方提供了直接的有利位置。报道中引用的一位恐怖主义专家表示，这种位置实际上意味着"伊朗拥有了从不到50米外窥视以色列大使馆后方的视野"，并将此情况描述为潜在的"严重安全漏洞"。伊朗异见人士卫星频道Iran International的前安全主管罗杰·麦克米伦也表示，这两套公寓拥有"通过穆杰塔巴·哈梅内伊持有的直接视线。那不是房地产投资组合——那是一个永久性的监视平台。"他补充道："这是一个严重的安全漏洞。"Bloomberg调查的进一步细节表明，一名商人充当了财务渠道，代表哈梅内伊购买高端房产，并通过一个投资网络输送资金。调查还发现，伦敦"亿万富翁街"上的11座豪宅是通过一家马恩岛的壳公司购买的。《金融时报》也类似地报道了哈梅内伊的关联人士与遍布欧洲的豪华资产之间的联系。56岁的哈梅内伊一直被视作伊朗统治机构内的实权人物，并最终成为其父亲的主要继任者。其父于2月28日在德黑兰一处建筑群遭袭身亡。迄今为止，自他被伊朗专家会议选定后，尚未公开露面。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

伊朗在大规模镇压行动中逮捕97名被指控为“以色列士兵”的人

(SeaPRwire) -   据伊朗官方媒体周四报道，伊朗情报部已逮捕97名被指控为“以色列士兵”的人员。路透社（Reuters）称，这些逮捕行动是该国最新安全扫荡的一部分，自战争爆发以来，已有数百人因被指与以色列和美国有联系而被拘留。周四早些时候，官方媒体还援引阿尔博兹省（Alborz province）警察指挥官的话称，41人因向境外反对派媒体频道发送视频而被捕。据路透社（Reuters）报道，3月10日，伊朗情报部还称已逮捕一名外国公民，以及另外30名被其描述为以色列和美国的间谍、内部雇佣兵和行动特工的人员。最新一轮逮捕行动发生在伊朗情报部长埃斯迈尔·哈提卜（Esmaeil Khatib）在德黑兰遭以色列针对性袭击遇刺之后。哈提卜的死讯由以色列国防部长伊斯雷尔·卡茨（Israel Katz）于3月18日确认，这是在“史诗怒火行动”（Operation Epic Fury）和“咆哮雄狮行动”（Operation Roaring Lion）启动10天后——这两项行动均针对伊朗政权。在哈提卜的领导下，情报部的职能显著扩大，目前在全国范围内的大学、媒体机构、少数群体社区和活动人士圈子中运营着广泛的线人网络。据《耶路撒冷邮报》（The Jerusalem Post）报道，其特工识别抗议组织者、监控通信并进行审讯。3月12日，总部位于美国的人权活动家通讯社（Human Rights Activists News Agency，HRANA）也表示，伊朗当局以与美以针对伊斯兰共和国的战争相关的罪名逮捕了近200人。HRANA称，这些指控包括涉嫌在社交媒体上活动、向外国媒体机构发送内容、间谍活动和扰乱公共秩序，并补充说其统计数据基于官方报告。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

European Court of Justice Decision Intensifies Pressure on Malta Over Online Gambling Licensing

(AsiaGameHub) -   The European Court of Justice (CJEU) has made another ruling concerning how member state laws apply to recovering and compensating online gambling losses. A ruling by Cypriot Advocate General (AG) Nicholas Emiliou states that: "A sports betting operator providing services in a national market without the necessary license may be required to return the money wagered by players." The AG's opinion relates to a long-standing German dispute questioning Tipico Malta's online gambling license regarding loss recovery for the 2013-2020 period. A German customer attempted to reclaim losses from Tipico, which was operating in Germany with a license from the Malta Gambling Authority (MGA). At that time, German gambling regulations were in turmoil, as parliament hadn't finalized terms for launching the fourth interstate market (GlüNeuRStv). The AG considers that "under German law, the consumer's claims against Tipico seem fundamentally justified. However, Tipico argues in its defense that it couldn't secure a German license due to flaws in the licensing process." Per AG Emiliou, Tipico's lack of a German license makes the agreement between the operator and consumer 'invalid'. However, the AG maintains that member states can apply tort laws (covering harm or loss) regardless of Tipico's licensing status. This case intensifies pressure on Malta regarding its use of Bill 55 as a defense for gambling licenses used throughout Europe. However, in an earlier interview with Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), Tipico CEO Axel Hefer stated the company wouldn't use the bill as a shield and doesn't need to. He said: "We're a Maltese-German firm with 1,500 staff at multiple major German sites. We clearly don't rely on Maltese law for protection. We've never used 'Bill 55." Germany has strongly criticized this potential operator protection, with its regulator GGL saying: "We believe this law likely conflicts with European decision-recognition requirements (Regulation (EU) 1215/2002). "However, GGL isn't responsible for the final evaluation of this matter. We've notified the federal states of our view and remain in touch with relevant authorities." Continued pressure The Tipico case comes after a recent CJEU AG ruling on the Wunner case (Austria v Malta), which confirmed that Member States can enforce their tort laws on gambling disputes, regardless of licenses issued in other EU jurisdictions. A key point in the Wunner Case was the CJEU rejecting Malta's "EU passporting" argument for gambling. The ruling clarified that, unlike financial services, a gambling license from one Member State doesn't automatically permit operations in another. Each country can establish its own requirements, as long as they're proportionate, non-discriminatory, and transparent. This maintains pressure as the unresolved legal conflict between Austria and Malta escalates, with Malta invoking Article 56A, widely known as Bill 55. Malta's courts activated this Article to dismiss prior CJEU opinions on the prolonged disputes between the two jurisdictions. The operator is using Article 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as its case basis—the freedom to provide services across EU member states—which Maltese law protects through Article 56A. Instead of ignoring European Court of Justice rulings, Maltese courts are invoking public policy exceptions under the Brussels I Recast Regulation (EU) 1215/2012, strengthened domestically by Article 56A, to prevent enforcement of foreign civil judgments they claim threaten Malta's gaming regulatory system.

退休美国将军称，美国和以色列都无法“成功推翻伊朗政权”

(SeaPRwire) -   一位退役美国将军预测，“以色列和美国都无法完全成功地推翻伊朗政权。”据《以色列时报》报道，前中将马克·施瓦茨（Mark Schwartz）发表了此番言论。美国和以色列联合对伊朗的军事行动，即“史诗之怒行动”（Operation Epic Fury）和“咆哮之狮行动”（Operation Roaring Lion），截至周四已进入第20天。“根据我的专业评估，以色列和美国都无法完全成功地推翻伊朗政权。主要原因是，即使最高领袖阿亚图拉被消灭，也有数十甚至数百名伊朗宗教领袖可以接替他的位置，”施瓦茨告诉《以色列时报》。“无论你杀死多少个接班人，总会有人排在后面。伊朗的情报和安全部门、革命卫队以及伊朗军队也有纵深。如果组织顶层被摧毁，他们有能力进行替换，”他补充道。伊朗最高领袖穆罕默德·卡梅内“功能失调”，未能控制政权：消息人士根据美国国家特种部队绿色贝雷帽纪念馆的说法，施瓦茨是一名职业绿色贝雷帽士兵，在美国陆军服役33年，他是该纪念馆的顾问委员会主席。该组织表示，“在其职业生涯中，马克曾在中东、欧洲和北非各地服役”，并且“他有机会与北大西洋公约组织、联合国、欧洲联盟和美国国际开发署合作，领导战略规划和行动。”五角大楼寻求国会至少2000亿美元用于伊朗战争国家情报总监Tulsi Gabbard周三警告称，如果伊朗政权在“史诗之怒行动”中幸存下来，“它可能会寻求开始一项为期数年的努力，重建其军事、导弹和无人机部队。”Gabbard还表示，情报界“评估认为，‘史诗之怒行动’正在推动该地区自2023年10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列以来开始的根本性变革，并延续到去年的12天战争，从而削弱了伊朗及其代理人。”到目前为止，此次行动已导致伊朗前最高领袖阿亚图拉·阿里·哈梅内伊被杀，其子穆罕默德·卡梅内接替了他的位置。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Kazakhstan Establishes Four New Casino Zones to Attract Foreign Tourists

(AsiaGameHub) -   Lawmakers in Kazakhstan are looking to attract foreign visitors by launching four new casino zones. Per the new regulation, these zones will be situated in well-known tourist destinations. They include the Mangistau region along the Caspian Sea coast, Paniflov District and the shores of Lake Alakol in Almaty region’s Talgar District, as well as the Marakol Area and Zaisan District. Per reporting from Qazinform News Agency, the amendment to the ‘On Gambling Business’ law has been signed off by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. This move will raise the total number of such gambling zones to six, adding to the existing gambling provisions in the city of Konaev within the Almaty region and the Shchuchinsk-Borovoye resort area in the Akmola region. In contrast to the already established zones, which welcome both Kazakh citizens and foreign visitors, these four new areas will only be accessible to overseas travelers. According to Kazakhstan’s government, over 15.7 million foreign nationals visited the country in the first nine months of 2025, including many visitors from both Russia and China. Baurzhan Rapikov, the country’s Deputy Minister of Tourism and Sports, stated that he expects each new casino will create 500 jobs and generate annual tax revenue ranging from 2bn to 4bn tenge (£3.1m to £6.2m). This decision to limit gambling to specific zones aligns with existing legislation in Russia, where casino and slot machine operations are restricted to four designated areas. Restricting access solely to foreign citizens also echoes policies implemented in numerous countries across the world. In South Korea, local citizens are limited to just one casino, with all remaining venues exclusively for foreign visitors. Meanwhile, in Malaysia and Singapore, local gamblers face strict entry requirements and are required to pay an admission fee. This article is provided by a third-party.

‘We are open for business’ – all you need to know about Gibraltar’s Gambling Bill

(AsiaGameHub) -   One of Europe’s biggest gaming hubs is set to see changes now that Gibraltar’s parliament has approved the first reading of the 2025 Gaming Bill. The new law aims to replace the 2005 Gambling Act and usher in a new chapter for the island, especially as it faces major challenges from the UK’s increase in remote gaming taxes. iGaming Expert explains all the key details about these changes. Years in the making Plans to update the jurisdiction’s laws have been ongoing for years, with consultations on a new bill starting as early as 2016. Nigel Feetham MP, Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry, told parliament the proposed legislation is “one of the most thoughtfully and expertly crafted and widely consulted bills” in Gibraltar’s legislative history. Progress was held up multiple times: first by Brexit in 2016, which led EU gambling businesses to eventually leave the island, and then by Gibraltar’s effort to get off the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) grey list – a goal it reached in February 2024. The bill also had to adapt to changes in the gaming industry brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Roy Clinton MP, Shadow Minister for Finance & Value for Money, noted that the bill was developed through a “thorough consultative process.” Shifting focus of regulation In his parliamentary speech, Feetham emphasized the need for a “more adaptable regulatory system” capable of meeting the needs of a rapidly changing landscape. Specifically, he stated the law will shift from focusing on where technology is based to where the management and control of a gambling operation actually take place. Feetham said: “We’ve witnessed the growth of cloud IT infrastructure providers, a trend of gambling firms using a multi-jurisdictional strategy, and many jurisdictions moving from a restricted or monopoly model to one where local licenses are offered to commercial gambling companies on an open, non-discriminatory market basis. “We need a law that covers any business with significant management or control of its operation in or from Gibraltar, instead of over-relying on where technology is located.” Bringing marketing under the microscope To gain better oversight of the peripheral services that support the gambling industry, the new act requires certain outsourced B2B services – like marketing and player fund management – to apply for a Gaming Operator Support Services (GOSS) Licence. Feetham pointed out the growing number of companies in the B2B supply chain that compete across multiple jurisdictions. He also expressed worry that some marketing activities by island-based companies fall outside “the regulatory scope.” “Gambling services marketing has evolved, especially in social media promotion,” he said. “Player acquisition and retention are the industry’s lifeblood, but marketing gambling products and managing customer relationships is controversial. If unregulated and unchecked, it could harm the industry’s reputation and the broader regulatory system.” More power to the commission The bill also boosts the regulatory authority of the Gibraltar Gambling Commission, giving it new powers to use risk-based enforcement tactics, conduct investigations, and impose financial penalties on non-compliant businesses.  “A key practical flaw in the current act is that it only offers the ‘nuclear option’ of suspending or revoking licenses for violations,” Feetham explained. “In contrast, the new bill outlines a range of proportional penalties and lets the gambling commissioner use a more structured, statutory approach to regulatory investigations and inquiries.” To account for these enhanced enforcement powers, the bill also creates a gambling appeals tribunal. Flexibility in legislation Feetham frequently noted the industry’s rapidly changing nature and the need for the new regulatory framework to reflect this while maintaining clear regulatory goals. He stated the bill “enables future-proofing” as technological innovation speeds up, and work has already started on a digitalization project to improve communication with the industry. Feetham concluded: “The new act won’t alter Gibraltar’s business-friendly culture. If you’re ready to be a responsible corporate citizen – paying taxes, protecting consumers, and preventing financial crime – you’re welcome here. We’re open for business and will keep innovating.” This article is provided by a third-party. AsiaGameHub (https://asiagamehub.com/) makes no warranties regarding its content.

12个阿拉伯和伊斯兰国家联合谴责伊朗“令人发指的”袭击

(SeaPRwire) -   周四，12个阿拉伯和伊斯兰国家联合谴责伊朗的“可憎”袭击，谴责其对民用基础设施发动的导弹和无人机打击，并警告德黑兰不要进一步升级局势。卡塔尔、阿塞拜疆、巴林、埃及、约旦、科威特、黎巴嫩、巴基斯坦、沙特阿拉伯、叙利亚、土耳其和阿拉伯联合酋长国的外长在利雅得举行磋商会议后发表了这份联合声明。这些国家指责伊朗蓄意针对该地区的居民区、石油设施、机场和外交机构。外长们重申，受影响国家根据《联合国宪章》第51条拥有自卫权，并敦促伊朗立即停止攻击，遵守国际法。他们还呼吁德黑兰尊重其领土主权，停止支持阿拉伯国家的附属民兵组织，并避免采取可能威胁海上安全的行动，包括在霍尔木兹海峡和曼德海峡——连接红海和亚丁湾的全球重要航运通道。声明还表达了对黎巴嫩稳定与主权的支持，同时谴责以色列在该国的行动及其“在该地区的扩张主义政策”。“外长们重申，他们致力于在此方面继续进行密集磋商与协调，以监测事态发展并评估新出现的问题，从而确保制定共同立场，采取必要的合法措施和程序，以保护其安全、稳定与主权，并制止伊朗对其领土的可憎袭击，”联合声明写道。此前一天，以色列袭击了伊朗的南帕尔斯气田，促使伊朗对卡塔尔和沙特阿拉伯的能源基础设施发动报复性攻击，包括多哈的拉斯拉凡工业城——全球最大的液化天然气（LNG）生产设施。袭击发生后，周四上午油价飙升，布伦特原油涨至每桶114.08美元，美国基准西德克萨斯中质原油涨至97.41美元。唐纳德·特朗普总统在其“真相社交”（Truth Social）平台上表示，除非德黑兰升级局势，否则以色列将停止对伊朗南帕尔斯气田的进一步打击，并警告称，如果卡塔尔的LNG设施再次成为目标，美国可能会以压倒性武力回应。“无论是否获得以色列的帮助或同意，美国都将以伊朗从未见过或经历过的强大力量彻底摧毁整个南帕尔斯气田，”特朗普写道，“我不希望批准这种程度的暴力与破坏，因为这将对伊朗的未来产生长期影响，但如果卡塔尔的LNG再次遭到攻击，我将毫不犹豫地这样做。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

This ensures powerful yet composed performance both in stop-and-go city riding and cruising on open roads.Honda WN7Key design featuresAiming to “refine functionality and realize the essence of motorcycle design,” the design features seamless and smooth surfacing when it comes in contact with the rider, while combining a distinctive and powerful silhouette. The signature headlight features an iconic horizontal bar design, and the color styling features a black-based body accented by gold component parts.iF Gold StatementThe Honda WN7 electric motorcycle masterfully combines classic motorbike DNA with a confident electric identity. It respects Honda’s legacy while embracing clean-energy aesthetics. The synthesis feels authentic, not forced, resulting in a unique design that is more than the sum of its parts. Bravo!Comments by Toshinobu Minami, Managing Director, Chief Operating Officer, Design Center, Honda R&D Co., Ltd.“The Honda WN7 was able to win the Gold Award in the Product Design discipline of the world-renowned iF DESIGN AWARD. We are extremely honored to receive the Gold Award for the first time ever.  We believe that this is the result of the jury’s understanding of the new value befitting the era of electrification – the joy of riding freely like the wind – from the perspective of both functionality and design. Honda will continue to create new values that surprise and inspire people and provide the joy of expanding their life’s potential.”Honda Design award history:https://global.honda/jp/design/work/#award (Japanese)https://global.honda/en/design/work/#award (English)Official website of the iF DESIGN AWARD:https://ifdesign.com/ja/winner-ranking/project/honda-wn7/740437 (Japanese)https://ifdesign.com/en/winner-ranking/project/honda-wn7/740437 (English)* The iF DESIGN AWARD, established in 1954, stands as a symbol of design excellence and it’s considered one of the world’s leading design awards, alongside the Red Dot Design Award.

Hitachi, The University of Technology Sydney and NTT DATA Sign MoU to Accelerate Green Transformation in Australia

TOKYO, Mar 19, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, “Hitachi”), The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) and NTT DATA, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services, have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a strategic partnership aimed at expanding Green Transformation (GX) business in Australia.As Australia pursues a 43% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030, large companies now face increasing pressure under the Australian government’s Safeguard Mechanism to provide transparent, verifiable ESG data to reduce emissions. The demand for practical digital solutions to manage energy consumption has become a priority for the commercial building sector.Under this MoU, the UTS campus will be used as a Living Laboratory, where industry, academia, government and citizens co-create new technologies and services, gathering feedback from users within an environment where services and products are used. This Living Laboratory will serve as a real-world environment for the development, value verification and commercialisation of advanced GX solutions. The parties aim to establish a scalable proving ground for decarbonisation that can be effectively implemented across the Australian market.The first initiative under this MoU is the Australian localisation of Hitachi’s ESG data management solution, EcoAssist-Enterprise. Unlike generic monitoring tools, EcoAssist-Enterprise is being adapted to align with Australia’s stringent environmental frameworks, including the National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS). Initial value verification conducted across multiple UTS buildings has confirmed the solution’s applicability in visualising and managing energy consumption within the Australian context. Following this success, the parties will expand the deployment at UTS before wider market rollout.A key differentiator of this partnership is the integration of EcoAssist-Enterprise with NTT DATA’s AIbased air-conditioning optimisation solution, HUCAST, that uses AI to predict weather patterns and human occupancy flows, automatically adjusting air-conditioning systems in real-time. This approach ensures that energy efficiency does not come at the cost of occupant comfort, representing a significant leap in Smart Building technology for the region.Future DevelopmentsBeyond the commercial building sector, Hitachi, UTS and NTT DATA intend to leverage the insights gained from this Living Laboratory to expand GX solutions into other industries.The partnership underscores a shared commitment to positively impact society through responsible innovation. It will accelerate the realisation of a sustainable society in AustraliaAbout Hitachi, Ltd.Through its Social Innovation Business (SIB) that brings together IT, OT (Operational Technology) and products, Hitachi contributes to a harmonized society where the environment, wellbeing, and economic growth are in balance.

MHI Thermal Systems Expands Lineup of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps for the European Market

Hydrolution EZY Series (Left: 6 kW, 7.1 kW Right: 10 kW, 14 kW)TOKYO, Mar 19, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has expanded its lineup in the "Hydrolution EZY" series of air-to-water (ATW) heat pumps for the European market that utilize R290 natural refrigerant. New models with capacities of 10kW and 14kW have been added to the two existing 6kW and 7.1kW models to meet a wide range of needs in the region. MHI Thermal Systems plans to release the new models successively in European markets starting this spring.ATW heat pumps extract heat from the air to supply cold and hot water for hot water supply, heating, and cooling. The monobloc type models added to the lineup have a water heat exchanger built into the outdoor unit, so only water lines need to be fitted, allowing for easier installation than split-type ATWs, which require refrigerant pipe connections. In addition, R290 refrigerant has an extremely low global warming potential of 0.02,(Note) and has been attracting attention, mainly in the increasingly tight regulatory environment of Europe, for its high energy efficiency and low environmental impact.The newly added 10kW and 14kW models, like the 6kW and 7.1kW models, have the basic features of high temperature hot water supply, high efficiency, low noise, and safety. Modifications to components to be compatible with the new refrigerant, and the adoption of a new in-house developed compressor, allow the units to maintain a high flow temperature of 75℃ under a wide range of conditions, from an outside temperature of minus 25℃ to plus 43℃. The 10kW and 14kW models are also equipped with separate electronic expansion valves for heating and cooling, allowing for optimal control and high efficiency over a wide range. For low noise operation, the units have a double vibration isolation structure, a triple sound-absorbing structure, and a large fan, and can be set to quiet mode to further reduce operating noise, thereby providing flexibility to comply with noise regulations in densely populated residential areas. Additionally, the units have been designed with safety in mind, and are equipped with a refrigerant leak detection sensor.The design concept is the same as that for the 6kW and 7.1kW models. The units are black to blend seamlessly with European residences, and are fitted with a fan guard accented with a silver vertical stripe. The structure makes it difficult to see the fan from an angle, completing an exterior design that is powerful and sophisticated, while also blending into the background in a variety of installation environments. The only difference in appearance from the 6kW and 7.1kW models is the height, creating a sense of cohesion even when multiple units are installed.In terms of power supply specifications, the 10kW and 14kW models offer a single-phase 230V power supply or a newly added three-phase 400V power supply, making them suitable for a wider variety of installation environments and power supply requirements. Control specifications, as with the 6kW and 7.1kW models, allow for up to eight outdoor units to be connected and controlled with a single indoor control unit, allowing for use in buildings of various sizes.In October 2021, MHI Group announced its MISSION NET ZERO declaration to reduce CO2 emissions throughout the corporate group and achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, including cutting emissions from its own plants and other production-related facilities, as well as reducing CO2 emissions at customer facilities that use MHI Group products. The Hydrolution EZY series, by supporting the transition from boiler combustion using fossil fuels that emit high concentrations of CO2 to ATW using electricity, can contribute significantly to the promotion of carbon neutrality in European countries, and help MHI Group achieve its environmental goals.Going forward, MHI Thermal Systems will continue to develop environmentally friendly technologies, and by taking advantage of synergies that leverage the company's broad business foundation in the heating and cooling sector, provide optimal thermal solutions, and contribute to carbon neutrality in countries around the world.(Note) Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a coefficient expressing the greenhouse effect of a gas relative to carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a fixed GWP of 1.0. The lower the value, the lower the greenhouse effect and the better for the environment. The GWP value of "0.02" is based on the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense. MHI Group combines cutting-edge technology with deep experience to deliver innovative, integrated solutions that help to realize a carbon neutral world, improve the quality of life and ensure a safer world.

NEC Completes Design of Equipment for Technology Demonstration Satellite Aimed at Creating Japan’s First Optical Communication Satellite Constellation

TOKYO, Mar 19, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) will develop a small technology demonstration satellite to conduct in-orbit verification of key technologies essential for realizing future optical communication satellite constellations, including optical communications, high-speed network routing design, and high-capacity millimeter-wave band communications. The design of the satellite-mounted equipment (payload) for this demonstration has now been completed. Moving forward, the payload will be manufactured and integrated into the satellite bus, the common functional component of the satellite, which is scheduled for launch into Earth’s orbit in fiscal year 2027.Rendering of a Small Technology Demonstration SatelliteIn satellite constellations where numerous satellites collaborate and function together, optical communication is increasingly favored over conventional radio for satellite-to-satellite communications. This shift aims to avoid communication interference and enable high-capacity data transmission. However, in order to equip a large number of small satellites with optical communication devices, it is necessary to shorten the development and manufacturing times and reduce costs. Therefore, it is important to utilize general-purpose technologies that are highly functional, high-performance, and have a proven track record of mass production.Furthermore, in optical communication satellite constellations—which consist of tens to thousands of satellites and function as high-speed, dynamically moving mesh networks—high computational power is required for routing processes that enable low-latency, high-capacity communications in orbit. Consequently, high-performance applications are needed that differ from routing designs based on terrestrial network environments.Against this backdrop, NEC will conduct demonstrations of the underlying technologies needed to solve these challenges.Overview of the Technology Demonstration SatelliteThe technology demonstration satellite will conduct the following demonstrations in orbit. This will enable the acquisition of insights that are difficult to obtain using ground-based test facilities, thereby enhancing competitiveness.1. Demonstration of Radiation-Hardened Design for Commercial Optical TransceiversNEC will evaluate the radiation-hardened design for space environments of low-cost, high-performance commercial optical transceivers capable of enabling high-capacity transmission even on small satellites.2. Demonstration of High-Speed Network Routing Processing Technology in SpaceNEC will conduct operational verification using a Versal(TM) Adaptive SoC (*1) device manufactured by U.S.-based AMD, Inc. (*2) for high-performance signal processing, as a key technology required for high-speed network routing processing of data transmission via optical communication satellite constellations. Furthermore, aiming to enhance future satellite development, NEC will also demonstrate the effectiveness of an application development methodology that integrates NEC's accumulated satellite technology assets with generative AI.3. Demonstration of Next-Generation Millimeter-Wave Band Communication TechnologyIn anticipation of a future shift to higher frequency bands that will enable high-speed, large-capacity data transmission, NEC will demonstrate the operation of millimeter-wave Q/V-band transceiver equipment (*3). The equipment will also communicate with ground stations to acquire data on radio wave propagation characteristics.The bus, which constitutes the common functional component of this satellite, will consist of the compact Aries satellite bus, an existing product of U.S.-based Apex Technology (APEX, *4).Comments from each company regarding this matter are as follows."NEC is exactly the kind of partner we built Apex for — a world-class technology leader pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in orbit. By pairing NEC’s advanced optical communications with our configurable and productized satellite bus, we’re accelerating time to orbit and reducing risk. This mission is a strong example of how mass-manufactured spacecraft can enable next-generation constellations globally. We’re proud to support NEC’s on-orbit demonstration and to expand Apex’s footprint internationally as we help partners deploy resilient, high-performance space infrastructure at scale."Apex Technology CEO, Ian Cinnamon"NEC aims to create social value through safety, security, fairness, and efficiency, positioning space utilization as a means to solve challenges in achieving these goals.

Eisai: Regarding Discontinuation of Administration of “Tazverik(R) Tablets 200mg” (tazemetostat hydrobromide)

TOKYO, Mar 19, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that the administration of the anticancer agent EZH2 inhibitor “Tazverik® Tablets 200 mg” (generic name: tazemetostat hydrobromide), which is manufactured and marketed in Japan by Eisai should be discontinued. We plan to discontinue sales of this product once we have confirmed that it is no longer being administered to any patients.Following the announced voluntarily withdrawal of this product in the United States and other countries, Eisai has been collecting and reviewing safety data, including from the overseas clinical trials including SYMPHONY-1*1 and postmarketing data both domestic and from overseas. Based on the review of the available safety data, multiple cases of secondary hematologic malignancies have occurred on both combination and monotherapy treatment with tazemetostat.After a comprehensive evaluation of these findings, we concluded that it is necessary to give the fullest possible consideration to the risk of secondary hematologic malignancies occurring even under the approved conditions of use in Japan.Prioritizing patient safety, we are communicating with medical institutions in Japan where the drug is prescribed to consider discontinuing Tazverik immediately for patients currently receiving it, and to refrain from initiating any new administration.Eisai will continue to make every effort to provide timely and appropriate information to healthcare professionals to prevent any confusion or disruption for medical institutions or patients.The SYMPHONY‑1 study is a phase 1b/3 trial evaluating whether adding tazemetostat to rituximab plus lenalidomide (R2 therapy), the standard second ‑ line treatment, prolongs progression ‑ free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma who have received at least one prior chemotherapy regimen*2. The phase 1b portion is a single‑arm dose‑finding study. In the phase III trial, eligible patients will be randomized 1:1; the experimental group will receive R2 therapy plus tazemetostat for 12 months, followed by up to 2 years of tazemetostat monotherapy. The control group will receive a placebo instead of tazemetostat. The primary endpoint is PFS; secondary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DOR), health-related quality of life (HR-QOL), and safety. This trial is being conducted under Ipsen's leadership as the confirmatory trial required for the accelerated approval of Tazverik for follicular lymphoma in the United States and China, and is being carried out at 229 sites in 15 countries, including the United States, the European Union, and China (no sites in Japan are participating).(1) Regarding the SYMPHONY-1 trial(2) The indication approved for Tazverik in Japan is monotherapy for "relapsed or refractory EZH2 mutation–positive follicular lymphoma (limited to cases where standard treatment is difficult)."About tazemetostat hydrobromide (generic name, product name “Tazverik Tablets 200 mg”)Tazemetostat is a first-in-class, oral small molecule inhibitor that targets EZH2 that was jointly researched and developed under the alliance agreement between Eisai and Epizyme, Inc., an Ipsen company, utilizing Epizyme, Inc.'s proprietary product platform. This agent selectively inhibits EZH2 in a competitive matter with S-adenosylmethionine (a methyl group donor) to suppress methylation of H3K27. Eisai was granted exclusive rights for development and commercialization of this agent in Japan.Media Inquiries:Public Relations Department,Eisai Co., Ltd.+81-(0)3-3817-5120 Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
