‘Get up or I'll get you up': Flight passenger slapped for refusing to give up seat
Shocking scenes unfolded at El Dorado International Airport in Bogota on Sunday night after a man violently slapped a woman across the face for refusing to give up a seat at a Colombian terminal, sparking a full-scale brawl in the terminal. Footage of the ordeal, now widely circulated online, shows Hector Santacruz confronting Claudia Segura after she took a seat next to his wife, which he claimed was already occupied. According to reports from the Daily Mail and local outlet El Tiempo, the incident occurred while Santacruz had stepped away. Segura said she found only one empty chair when she arrived at the packed gate area, 'I didn't have any bags or clothes on me to indicate it was occupied, so I sat down,' she explained. Santacruz's wife, Karen, had informed Segura that the seat was occupied, but she was finishing a work related call and stayed seated. When Santacruz returned, he demanded she vacate the spot and became irritated when she refused. 'Get up or I'll get you up,' he warned, before asking someone nearby to film the confrontation. He then knocked the phone from Segura's hand and struck her in the face. 'He hits me on the hand, knocks off my phone, and hits me hard in the face and head. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Experience next-level CPAP comfort with Resmed AirSense 11 ResMed Enquire Now Undo The magnitude of the impact knocked my earring off,' Segura told El Tiempo. Witnesses reacted immediately, with several men rushing to her defence and shoving Santacruz away. As tensions escalated, more travellers joined the scuffle, while Santacruz attempted to fend them off, shouting aggressively. His wife also stepped in, trying to calm the chaos. Footage taken moments later showed Segura lying on the floor as airport staff attended to her injuries. She was later taken to urgent care for treatment. 'I am affected and very afraid,' she said. Santacruz was escorted away in handcuffs by airport security to the applause of onlookers. It is still unclear whether he will face formal charges, New York Post reported. His wife later released an emotional apology via Instagram. 'The person shown physically assaulting a woman is my husband. And you don't know how much it hurts me to say this out loud,' she said, adding, 'It really hurts me as a woman, as a mother.'

US sanctions six Indian firms over Iranian petrochemical imports
The USA has imposed sanctions on at least six India-based companies, accusing them of imported Iranian petrochemical products worth millions of dollars. The action is part of its latest Iran-related sanctions targeting several global entities allegedly engaged in trade of Iranian oil, petroleum products, and petrochemicals. Chennai -based Kanchan Polymers and five Mumbai -based firms-Alchemical Solutions (also known as Chemform Trading), Ramniklal S Gosalia and Company, Jupiter Dye Chem, Global Industrial Chemicals, and Persistent Petrochem -are in the sanctions list issued by the state department as well as the office of foreign assets control (OFAC) on Wednesday (Thursday morning in India). The biggest accusation is against Alchemical Solutions , which allegedly purchased and imported Iranian-origin petrochemical products-which are under US sanctions-worth over $84 million from multiple companies between January and December 2024. Global Industrial is accused of importing Iranian products, including methanol, worth over $51 million between July 2024 and January 2025, while Jupiter Dye Chem is accused of importing products, including toluene, worth over $49 million between January 2024 and January 2025. Ramniklal allegedly imported Iranian petrochemical products, including methanol and toluene, worth over $22 million between January 2024 and January 2025. Persistent Petrochem allegedly imported approximately $14 million worth of Iranian petrochemicals from multiple companies, including Bab Al Barsha, a UAE-based commodities trading company, with shipping dates between October 2024 and December 2024. Kanchan Polymers is accused of importing over $1.3 million worth of Iranian-origin petrochemical products, including polyethylene, from Tanais Trading. These Indian firms have been designated under section 3(a)(iii) of executive order 13846 for "knowingly engaging" in a significant transaction for the purchase, acquisition, sale, transport, or marketing of petrochemical products from Iran. Under the sanctions, all property and interests in property of these companies in the US or under the control of US persons are blocked. The sanctions also block an entity or company which is 50% or more owned by a person or company that is already blocked. Iran Protests Reacting to the development, the Iranian embassy in India on Thursday criticised the US for weaponising economy by imposing sanctions on independent nations like Iran and India. "The United States continues to weaponise the economy and use #sanctions as tools to dictate its will on independent nations such as Iran and India and impede their growth and development," the embassy said in a post on X shared via its official handle @Iran_in_India.
