Iran hunts crew member of crashed US jet after one reported rescued
11 Sept 00:35Key points summarised by AI
Iran claims to have shot down a US F-15 fighter jet, initiating a hunt for a missing crew member with a 'valuable reward' offered, while US media reports one crew member was rescued.
This incident escalates a month-long war between US/Israel and Iran, which has spread across the Middle East, impacting the global economy and triggering widespread strikes.
Fresh strikes continue to hit Israel, Iran, Lebanon, and Gulf countries, increasingly targeting economic and industrial sites and raising fears of wider disruption to global energy supplies.
Amidst the conflict, Iran's former foreign minister proposed a deal to end the war, offering to curb its nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for sanctions relief.
Nationwide crackdown launched on illegal nominee shareholders and land holdings
Yesterday 15:20Key points summarised by AI
Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
