  BREAKING: Two ADNOC Tankers Attacked, Zolfaghari Rejects Trump's Hormuz Claim | 1930s Radio

  Aug 14, 202613 min

  THE DAILY DISPATCH: Get this bulletin in your inbox every morning, free: https://winradradio.substack.com/ Winrad Broadcasting Service daily news bulletin for Friday, August 14, 2026, day 168 since the war with Iran began. Today's report: ADNOC TWO TANKERS ATTACKED Thu evening: two vessels attacked while transiting Strait of Hormuz. No injuries; situation under control. UAE MoFA Fri morning strongly condemned - "flagrant violation" of UN Security Council Resolution 2817; described as "act of piracy" by Iran's IRGC. UKMTO: 2 vessels sustained minor damage from drones. Bahrain also condemned. Iran had not publicly claimed responsibility. Second attack on ADNOC vessels in a week following last Sat missile strike. ADNOC now reports 15 vessels attacked total since start of war, 3 this week ZOLFAGHARI (spokesman for highest Iranian military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central HQ) Thu: American claims that ships pass through strait normally are "false" and reflect "desperation and helplessness" of American military. Strait is under "full management and control of the Islamic Republic of Iran." No commercial vessel, Zolfaghari said, has ever safely transited strait, or ever will, without permission and supervision of Iran's armed forces ISRAEL DEFENCE MIN KATZ Wed: Israel will not withdraw forces from security zone in southern Lebanon. He and PM had made position unequivocally clear. Adds fresh obstacle to American-brokered peace effort POTUS has not, so far as this news service is aware, publicly responded to Iranian counterclaim or FM's rebuttal on Thu US CENTCOM has not immediately commented on Thu evening attack. 2 US aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ship, 12 additional warships remain in Arabian Sea OIL Thu: Brent fell below $87/barrel, first daily decline in 6 sessions, after IEA in monthly report Wed cut its global oil demand forecast for year; WTI fell below $81/barrel. OPEC lowered 2026 global oil demand growth forecast to 580,000 bpd, 4th consecutive downward revision Followed by "From the Homefront" — Dorothy on 1930s and 40s American-style chicken curry. Dorothy did NOT learn this one from her mother in Nebraska; her mother thought anything more exotic than paprika was putting on airs. Uses 3 cups leftover roast chicken (or freshly stewed), 4 tbsp butter, chopped onion, diced tart apple, curry powder (Sun Brand, McCormick, or Schilling), flour, chicken broth, milk, lemon juice. THE FIRST SECRET: BLOOM the curry powder in the butter for a full minute before adding flour - wakes up the spices. Serve over rice with a proper 1930s dinner-party spread of accompaniments: Major Grey's mango chutney, raisins, chopped peanuts, shredded coconut, chopped hard-boiled egg. Every plate at the table different, every plate delicious. This is a news presentation, not opinion or editorial. The "Winrad Broadcasting Service" is fictional. Voices are AI-generated.
