Ekspor Minyak Iran Terhambat, Pulau Kharg Terpuruk di Bawah Blokade AS

mengalami penurunan drastis di tengah tekanan dari blokade yang diterapkan oleh Amerika Serikat. Pulau Kharg, yang menjadi pusat utama ekspor minyak Iran, kini terpuruk dan tidak beroperasi secara optimal. Kebijakan yang ketat ini tidak hanya berdampak pada sektor energi Iran, tetapi juga membawa konsekuensi besar bagi perekonomian global.

Sejak diberlakukannya sanksi, Iran telah berjuang untuk mempertahankan pendapatan dari ekspor minyaknya, yang sebelumnya menjadi salah satu sumber utama pendapatan negara. Dalam beberapa bulan terakhir, volume pengiriman minyak dari Kharg Island menyusut tajam, dan hal ini terlihat jelas dalam laporan yang dikeluarkan oleh Kementerian Perminyakan Iran.

Data menunjukkan bahwa pada bulan lalu, ekspor minyak Iran jatuh ke level terendah dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Banyak tanker yang mengangkut minyak Iran terpaksa menunggu di perairan internasional karena kekhawatiran akan penegakan sanksi oleh AS. Situasi ini tentu saja meningkatkan biaya logistik dan mengurangi daya saing minyak Iran di pasar global.

Selain itu, dampak dari sanksi ini juga dirasakan oleh negara-negara tetangga yang bergantung pada pasokan energi dari Iran. Beberapa negara di Timur Tengah mulai mencari alternatif pasokan energi, sementara perusahaan-perusahaan internasional menghindari kerjasama dengan Iran untuk menghindari sanksi. Hal ini mengarah pada ketidakpastian yang lebih besar dalam pasar energi global.

Para analis memperkirakan bahwa jika situasi ini berlanjut, Iran mungkin akan kesulitan untuk membiayai program-program domestiknya dan memenuhi kebutuhan dasar rakyatnya. Dengan begitu, ketegangan di kawasan tersebut bisa meningkat, dan berpotensi memicu konflik baru.

Di sisi lain, pemerintah Iran terus berusaha untuk mencari jalan keluar dari situasi ini, dengan meningkatkan kerjasama dengan negara-negara non-Barat dan menjajaki pasar baru di Asia. Namun, upaya ini belum membuahkan hasil yang signifikan, dan tantangan yang dihadapi tetap besar.

Pemerintah Dukung Larangan Total Vapes Usulan BNN

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Pemerintah Indonesia mengapresiasi usulan Badan Narkotika Nasional () untuk melarang distribusi , atau s, setelah terungkapnya peningkatan penyalahgunaan yang terkait dengan penggunaan alat tersebut. Koordinator Menteri Bidang Politik dan Keamanan, Djamari Chaniago, menyatakan bahwa pemerintah mendukung inisiatif tersebut dan menginstruksikan para pejabat untuk tidak ragu dalam melaksanakan larangan total terhadap vapes.

Dalam pernyataannya pada Kamis, 23 Juli 2026, Djamari mengungkapkan keprihatinan bahwa rokok elektrik semakin dimanfaatkan sebagai sarana untuk mengkonsumsi narkoba. Ia mencatat bahwa sekitar 39,5 persen pengguna vape telah mengonsumsi cairan yang mengandung narkotika melalui perangkat ini. Djamari memperingatkan bahwa penggunaan vapes untuk narkoba telah mencapai tingkat yang mengkhawatirkan. “Oleh karena itu, langkah-langkah antisipatif diperlukan melalui regulasi yang lebih ketat, pengawasan yang ditingkatkan, dan studi kebijakan,” ujarnya.

Pemerintah kemudian menugaskan BNN untuk memimpin diskusi tentang penguatan kontrol atas distribusi dan penjualan rokok elektrik, termasuk mengevaluasi kemungkinan larangan secara nasional. Komisaris Jenderal BNN, Suyudi Ario Seto, menyatakan bahwa lembaganya telah mengajukan rekomendasi resmi untuk larangan total vapes kepada Komisi III DPR. “Kami juga mengusulkan seminar mengenai regulasi dan tata kelola vape yang melibatkan berbagai pemangku kepentingan,” kata Suyudi.

Inisiatif ini juga mendorong Kementerian Kesehatan untuk mengklasifikasikan etomidate—zat yang sering ditambahkan ke dalam cairan vape—sebagai narkotika Kategori III. Klasifikasi ini termaktub dalam Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan No. 15/2025.

Sebelumnya, Kepala Pusat Laboratorium Narkotika BNN, Supianto, melaporkan bahwa 23,97 persen dari 438 sampel cairan vape yang diuji mengandung narkoba terlarang. “Kami merekomendasikan agar vapes pada akhirnya dilarang, seperti di negara lain,” kata Supianto di Markas BNN pada Rabu, 18 Februari 2026.

Serangan di Thailand, Lima Tentara Tewas di Pos Keamanan

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Lima tentara kehilangan nyawa dalam serangan yang terjadi di pos pemeriksaan militer di provinsi Narathiwat, wilayah selatan negara tersebut yang dikenal rawan konflik, menurut laporan DW.

Setidaknya enam warga sipil, termasuk seorang anak laki-laki berusia 10 tahun, juga mengalami luka-luka akibat serangan tersebut, seperti yang diungkapkan oleh pejabat setempat.

Perdana Menteri Anutin Charnvirakul pada hari Kamis mengutuk serangan ini sebagai “tindakan terorisme yang berani” yang mengancam “ secara serius.”

Bagaimana peristiwa ini terjadi? Insiden tersebut berlangsung pada hari Rabu ketika sekitar sepuluh orang menyerang pos keamanan dengan tembakan dan melemparkan bom pipa kepada para prajurit dari pasukan bantuan Thai Rangers, sebelum melarikan diri dari lokasi kejadian.

Komando Operasi Keamanan Dalam Negeri Thailand menyatakan bahwa para penyerang berhasil mencuri tiga senapan AK-47, tiga rompi antipeluru, dan tiga ponsel dari para tentara tersebut.

Kendaraan yang digunakan para penyerang kemudian ditemukan ditinggalkan dan dibakar sekitar 21 kilometer dari lokasi kejadian.

Konflik berskala kecil telah berlangsung sejak tahun 2004 di provinsi terpinggirkan Thailand, dengan kelompok pemberontak di wilayah mayoritas Muslim berjuang untuk otonomi yang lebih besar di negara yang mayoritas penduduknya beragama Buddha.

Lebih dari 7.000 jiwa telah melayang akibat konflik ini. Juru bicara pemerintah, Ratchada Thanadirek, menyatakan bahwa beberapa bulan terakhir telah menyaksikan serangkaian insiden kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh “jaringan teroris yang berusaha menimbulkan ketakutan di masyarakat dan menargetkan pejabat negara.”

Kepala BGN Tegaskan Program Makanan Gratis Akan Berlanjut

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Kepala baru Badan Gizi Nasional (BGN) Sudaryono menegaskan bahwa program Gratis (MBG) di Indonesia akan tetap dilanjutkan meskipun mendapat berbagai kritik. Ia menekankan bahwa pemerintah akan lebih fokus pada perbaikan program daripada menghentikannya.

Menurut Sudaryono, program Makanan Bergizi merupakan salah satu janji kampanye Presiden Prabowo Subianto. Program ini sudah direncanakan jauh sebelum pemilihan umum dan disampaikan kepada publik selama kampanye, serta mendapatkan mandat dari pemilih. “Program ini merupakan amanah yang harus dilaksanakan demi kesejahteraan rakyat,” ujarnya setelah pertemuan pertamanya di kantor BGN di Jakarta Pusat pada Rabu, 22 Juli 2026.

Sudaryono menjelaskan bahwa lembaganya akan berusaha memperkuat pengawasan, memastikan kualitas dan keamanan makanan yang diberikan kepada pelajar, serta memaksimalkan manfaat ekonomi dari program tersebut, terutama bagi masyarakat pedesaan. “Ini adalah program untuk rakyat dan akan disampaikan kepada rakyat. Kami akan terus mendengarkan kritik dan masukan dari publik,” tambahnya.

Menyikapi kekhawatiran tentang potensi konflik kepentingan, Sudaryono juga menegaskan bahwa ia tidak memiliki hubungan bisnis pribadi terkait program ini. Ia menegaskan bahwa baik dirinya maupun anggota keluarganya tidak memiliki dapur umum atau Satuan Pelayanan Pemenuhan Gizi (SPPG) yang menerima kontrak pemerintah untuk menyediakan makanan di bawah program MBG. “Saya tidak memiliki unit SPPG atau dapur umum. Tidak ada anggota keluarga saya yang memiliki satu pun,” ungkapnya.

Namun, Sudaryono juga mengakui bahwa pelaksanaan program ini masih menghadapi berbagai tantangan, termasuk masalah tata kelola. Ia merujuk pada dugaan kasus korupsi yang melibatkan mantan pejabat BGN sebagai bukti bahwa perbaikan diperlukan. “Kami telah melihat praktik-praktik tata kelola yang tidak transparan, dan ini adalah hal yang perlu segera ditangani,” kata Sudaryono.

Sudaryono diangkat sebagai Kepala BGN pada Rabu untuk menggantikan Nanik Sudaryati Deyang, yang mengundurkan diri setelah 45 hari menjabat karena alasan kesehatan. Dalam sebuah unggahan di media sosial yang mengumumkan pengunduran dirinya, Nanik membela program MBG dan menolak klaim bahwa program tersebut bermotif politis. “Saya telah bersama Presiden Prabowo selama 14 tahun, dan saya tahu pasti bahwa program MBG tidak dimaksudkan untuk tujuan politik, seperti yang dituduhkan beberapa pihak,” tulisnya.

Why Eating Invasive Species Is the Newest Eco Friendly Dining Trend

Introduction

In recent years, a new dining trend has emerged that not only offers unique culinary experiences but also contributes to environmental sustainability. Eating invasive species has gained popularity as a way to protect native ecosystems while enjoying delicious meals. This eco-friendly approach to dining is supported by research and experts in the field. Here, we explore why eating invasive species is becoming the newest trend in sustainable eating practices.

The Impact of Invasive Species on Ecosystems

Invasive species are plants, animals, or microorganisms introduced to a new environment where they outcompete native species and disrupt the natural balance. These invaders can cause significant harm to ecosystems, leading to the decline of native plant and animal populations. Invasive species are a major threat to biodiversity and can result in the loss of important ecological functions.

The Case for Eating Invasive Species

By consuming invasive species, we can help control their populations and reduce their negative impact on native ecosystems. Through targeted harvesting and consumption, we can limit the spread of invasive species and mitigate the harm they cause. Eating invasive species is a proactive and effective way to manage these problematic organisms while also providing a sustainable food source.

The Eco-Friendly Benefits of Eating Invasive Species

  1. Biodiversity Conservation: By controlling invasive species populations, we can protect native biodiversity and safeguard fragile ecosystems.

  2. Sustainable Food Source: Harvesting and consuming invasive species can provide a sustainable food source that is abundant and readily available.

  3. Supporting Local Economies: Encouraging the consumption of invasive species can create new economic opportunities for local communities and businesses.

Examples of Invasive Species Suitable for Consumption

  1. Asian Carp: This invasive fish species has proliferated in waterways across the United States, threatening native aquatic ecosystems. However, Asian carp is also a nutritious and delicious food source that can be prepared in various culinary styles.

  2. Lionfish: Native to the Indo-Pacific region, lionfish have invaded coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean, preying on native marine species. Consuming lionfish helps reduce their population and protects coral reef ecosystems.

  3. Kudzu: A fast-growing vine that smothers native vegetation in the Southeastern United States, kudzu is also edible and can be used in salads, stir-fries, and soups.

Factors such as distribution logistics, limited availability of certain ingredients, and consumer demand for convenience can make it difficult for restaurants and food suppliers to fully embrace farm to table practices. However, initiatives like Farmigo are working to connect consumers directly with local farmers to make farm to table options more accessible.

Conclusion:
