China's 'heaviest rocket' Long March-5 Y2 fails post lift-off
Beijing [China], July 3 (ANI): The launch of China's heavy-lift carrier rocket, the Long March-5 Y2, has failed after an anomaly was detected during its flight. It was the flight's second launch. According to the state-run Xinhua agency, the flight, which was carrying an experimental communication satellite, developed an anomaly during its flight at 7.23 p.m. (4. 53 p.m. IST) from Wenchang Space Launch Center in the Chinese southern province Hainan. "Further investigation will be carried out," the Xinhua report said. Long March-5 Y2 is designed to carry up to 25 tons of payload into low orbit, which makes it the second most powerful rocket in the world after the United State's Delta IV Heavy. Dubbed as the 'Chubby 5', the satellite is 5 meters in diameter and 57 meters tall. The Long March-5 made its first flight in November 2016, sending its payload into preset orbit. (ANI)

"US will never risk sending its navy to open up Strait of Hormuz”

Sibal argued that the US is unlikely to risk a naval operation to forcibly "reopen" the Strait of Hormuz as the deep-water channel necessary for large vessels lies within Iranian territorial waters. Iran does not need sophisticated long-range missiles to defend this corridor; short-range missiles, torpedoes, and mines can easily sink high-value naval assets.
