MIRI, April 21 — Sarawak Water Sdn Bhd has refuted a viral message circulating on social media and WhatsApp alleging that the Sungai Liku reservoir is drying up due to hot weather and warning of possible water rationing.
WASHINGTON, March 29 — The Pentagon is reportedly preparing contingency plans for several weeks of ground operations in Iran, which could include raids on Kharg Island and coastal areas near the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Washington Post, although President Donald Trump has not yet approved any deployment.
The report said any such mission would fall short of a full-scale invasion, focusing instead on targeted raids involving special operations forces and conventional infantry units, based on unnamed officials.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that the United States “can achieve all of our objectives without ground troops,” but the Post reported that planning is already well advanced, with one official noting: “This is not last-minute planning.” — AFP
