TEHRAN, Iran Iran's navy chief warned Wednesday that his country can easily close the strategic Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the passageway through which a sixth of the world's oil flows.It was the second such warning in two days. On Tuesday, Vice President Mohamed Reza Rahimi threatened to close the strait, cutting off oil exports, if the West imposes sanctions on Iran's oil shipments.With concern growing over a possible drop-off in Iranian oil supplies, a senior Saudi oil official said Gulf Arab nations are ready to offset any loss of Iranian crude.That reassurance led to a drop in world oil prices. In New York, benchmark crude fell 77 cents to $100.57 a barrel in morning trading. Brent crude fell 82 cents to $108.45 a barrel in London."Closing the Strait of Hormuz is very easy for Iranian naval forces," Adm. Habibollah Sayyari told state-run Press TV. "Iran has comprehensive control over the strategic waterway," the navy chief said.Th
Particles ejected by recent solar storms are due to slam into Earth over the next few days, possibly causing super-charged northern lights displays and temporary radio blackouts in some areas, experts say.On Monday (Dec. 26), the sun unleashed a massive eruption of solar plasma known as a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME's fast-moving charged particles should squarely strike Earth's magnetic field at about 3:20 p.m. EST (2020 GMT) Wednesday, give or take seven hours, according to the website Spaceweather.com.The particles from another CME could deliver a glancing blow to our planet a few hours earlier on Wednesday, Spaceweather.com reported.The two impacts will likely spawn minor and/or moderate geomagnetic storms at high latitudes on Wednesday and Thursday. If they're powerful enough, geomagnetic storms can temporarily disrupt GPS signals, radio communications and power grids."Category G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storms are expected 28 and 29 December due to mul
r potential embarrassment for Gingrich, who is leading Romney in most national polls for the GOP nomination.But with a week to go before the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses, Gingrich has slipped to third place in that state behind Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Romney. On other issues including climate change and mortgage giant Freddie Mac, Gingrich has struggled to reconcile his stance as a conservative with his long history of policy positions that sometimes run counter to that.Gingrich's rise to the top of the field has come in part from his bashing Romney for engineering a state health care expansion that became a model for President Barack Obama's 2010 health law. "Your plan essentially is one more big-government, bureaucratic, high-cost system," Gingrich told Romney during an October debate in Las Vegas. He said Romney was trying to solve Massachusetts' health care problems "from the top down."R.C. Hammond, a spokesman for Gingrich, said the April 2006 essay sh
ANNAPOLIS, Md. A report released by the Pentagon says the number of reported sexual assaults at the nation's three major military academies rose in the latest academic year from one year earlier.The Defense Department's "Annual Report on Sexual Harassment and Violence at the Military Service Academies" covered the academic year 2010-2011. It found there were 65 reports of sexual assault involving cadets and midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Air Force Academy. That's up from 41 reports in the prior year.The Pentagon can't conclusively identify reasons for the increases but said efforts to encourage more victims to report abuses could help explain the higher numbers.Defense Secretary Leon Panetta issued a statement that authorities are bidding to "eliminate sexual assault" from military campuses.
What do you possibly give one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, aka Steven Spielberg, as a friendly gesture?Take a cue from Peter Jackson. The Hollywood heavyweights put their power and creativity together to bring to life The Adventures of Tintin, which hits theaters this week, but it seems Spielberg scored another bonus from the collaboration.Peter Jackson is a great hobbyist World War I paraphernalia and memorabilia, and actual material from the first world war, Spielberg told FOX411s Pop Tarts column. Hes got, canons, guns uniforms and vehicles, and just because we are such good buddies and made Tintin together, as a gift he sent boxes and boxes of props to use in War Horse.War Horse is based on a children's novel set during the first world war and a stage play of the same name, chronicling the trials and tribulations of a young soldier who serves on both sides (England and Germany) before finding himself alone in no man's land.And although he's a c
s dragging women protesters by the hair, stomping on them and stripping one half-naked in the street during a fierce crackdown on activists."This is a case for all the women of Egypt, not only mine," said Samira Ibrahim, 25, who was arrested and then spoke out about her treatment.Ibrahim filed two suits against the practice, one demanding it be banned and another accusing an officer of sexual assault. She was the only one to complain publicly about a practice that can bring shame upon the victim in a conservative society.A small group of women gathered outside the court building, holding banners. One said, "Women of Egypt are a red line."The three-judge panel said in its ruling that the virginity tests were "a violation of women's rights and an aggression against their dignity."The ruling also said a member of the ruling military council admitted to Amnesty International in June that the practice was carried out on female detainees in March to protect the army
