The British newspapers issued on Saturday morning a number of Arab and Middle Eastern issues, most notably the repercussions of Iran's detention of a British oil tanker, and Argentina put Hezbollah on the list of terrorist groups.
The beginning is from the Times newspaper and a report of the Middle East Affairs correspondent, Richard Spencer, entitled "The detention of a British oil tanker increases the intense conflict in the Gulf".
The writer says that the detention of an oil tanker raised the British flag by Iran comes immediately after direct threats from the leaders in Tehran, where Iranian military leaders said they would hold a British oil tanker, in response to Britain's detention of the Iranian oil tanker "Grace 1" off the coast of Gibraltar two weeks ago on suspicionIn violation of the sanctions imposed on Syria.
He adds that the Iranian threat was renewed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Iranian Revolution, accusing Britain of committing "a piracy of stealing our ship and giving him a legal picture.Iran and those who trust in our regime will not stand idly by without responding to these actions..
Spencer says that Iran increases pressure on the West in the Gulf, especially the United States, in response to the re -management of US President Donald Trump imposing sanctions on Tehran, after Washington withdrew unilaterally from the Iranian nuclear agreement.
The newspaper report quotes witnesses, which he described as the intensity of the conflict between the United States and Iran in the Gulf, especially after the American Military Military Military crew said that he had shot down an Iranian drone that was monitoring its passage in the Strait of Hormuz.
The report quotes a journalist in the Wall Street Journal was on board the USS Boxer as saying that an Iranian helicopter and quick boats belonging to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and a war ship lifting the Iranian flag were close to the American marine convoy consisting of six naval units.
American helicopters were directed to warn the warship and the Iranian helicopter, then the American helicopters followed an Iranian Wi -12 monitoring plane.
The journalist said that the drone was shot down at ten in the morning, although he did not claim that he had seen its fall himself.The Iranian army denies that the plane was shot down, and indicates that the US military may have shot one of its planes.
The report concludes that Iran finds it difficult to deal with US sanctions after President Trump withdrew from the Iranian nuclear agreement.And that Washington holds Tehran responsible for the attacks on six oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz in May and June.

In the Guardian newspaper, we read an investigation of Maryam Burger from Jerusalem entitled "Israel's use of harmful weeds pesticides near Gaza is harmful to Palestinian crops.".
The writer says that the livelihood and income of the Palestinians are directly affected by the harmful weeds sprayed by Israeli aircraft near the buffer zone in the Gaza Strip, while it is a violation of international standards, according to a new study concluded.
This study was supervised by the "Criminal Evidence Building" group at Goldsmith College at the University of London, and the group spent about 16 months to collect evidence and investigate the potential effects of spraying harmful weeds pesticides.
The study followed the drift of pesticides that were sprayed to the Palestinian side, and concluded that these pesticides kill agricultural crops and cause "unprecedented and unprecedented damage".
The main researchers in this study say that during the past five years, Israeli aircraft sprayed pesticides in the buffer zone on the border with the Hamas -controlled sector, classified by Israel and the European Union as a terrorist group, 30 times more than what it sprayed inside Israel.
The study published photos showing that the pesticides sprayed by Israel in the buffer zone on the border reaches a depth of 300 meters inside the Gaza Strip.
The newspaper's report quotes the Israeli Ministry of Defense as saying that spraying harmful weeds pesticides is necessary for security reasons, as they spray "on the lands of the State of Israel only" and under the supervision of specialized experts.
Women behind NASA flights
To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 trip and the human landing on the moon, a article by writer Raynon Williams took the history of his silence for the women who were behind NASA trips.
The writer says that while Apollo's 11 journey turned male astronauts into icons, the history of women who played a role in the human arrival to the moon remains greatly unknown..
The writer adds that Catherine Johnson, who will be 101 on August 26, was one of these women, as she is a prominent mathematics scientist who joined the National Association of Space Sciences, which later became NASA, in 1952 in the complex accounting unit.
The unit also included a number of American women of African descent, who were charged with performing the complex mathematical operations required for the engineering and accounting operations that engineers and astronauts need needed.
