➡ The U.S. is pulling diplomats from Saudi Arabia, hinting at increased conflict in the Middle East. This could lead to higher gas prices and potential rationing, similar to the 1970s gas crisis. The situation could escalate to a blockade around Iran, possibly leading to a nuclear strike. This conflict is causing a rise in oil prices and could lead to a military draft.
➡ A nuclear command plane has been sent to the Middle East, which could potentially escalate tensions with Russia and China. This could lead to the normalization of using nuclear weapons in warfare. The situation in the Middle East is deteriorating, with potential for a nuclear strike and increasing conflict. The U.S. may consider a military draft and there are concerns about the impact on global oil reserves and supply chains.
➡ The situation in the Middle East is tense, with potential threats to Taiwan and Saudi Aramco. Iran’s military precision is impressive, and their readiness for conflict is concerning. The situation could escalate to a full-blown crisis, with possible outcomes being a nuclear conflict, a successful insurrection, or the destruction of the Middle East’s oil and gas infrastructure. It’s advised to prepare for potential fallout, as the situation is unlikely to resolve peacefully in the short term.

This is your World War 3 update. That opening line don’t sound too unhinged anymore, now does it? The prepared mind is always a few steps ahead of the zeitgeist in the age of consequences. My friends, I have some breaking news to share with you. The US is evacuating all its diplomats from the embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is profoundly significant because what it implies is that the Saudis are going to become more active in the conflict, and they’re going to be more heavily targeted by the IRGC, who recently revised and updated their target list to include a broader range of high-value targets throughout the Middle East, including the oil and gas infrastructure.

This in response to the major attack that took place yesterday that created those apocalyptic scenes in which you had black rain falling from the skies over Tehran as a result of that, and the streets literally running red with fire. Now, today I want to talk about why I think they’re going to use the same false pretense that they used to start the war to justify doing a nuclear strike on Iran, and that this is why we are seeing oil open today at a staggering 20% in just a matter of a couple hours.

It should go without saying right now, and I usually don’t say, you know, I usually say like tongue-in-cheek, go and fill up your gas tanks. I’m going and filling up all my jerry cans, and I’m a prepper, okay? Because this is not just going to potentially be a situation of gas prices or higher, it’s going to be a rationing thing. I would implore you after this video to go and watch videos of the 1973-74 and 1979 gasoline crisis, and what took place throughout those periods of times where people had to sit and wait in line for three hours to get gasoline.

Now, could it go to that extent? It’s not a matter of could it? It would be insane if it didn’t, because we are talking about far more oil going offline than went offline during that time. 20%, 30%, in fact, compared to 6% at that time, okay? So, gasoline, ammunition, food, water, medicine, all of these things are going to be going up in price if this persists long. We’re seeing the stock markets in Asia crater. I mean, crater. They’re already seeing gas shortages there, so what they’re likely going to do this week in all of these countries, they’re all going to open the spigots of their strategic oil reserves.

They’re going to try to meddle with the futures market. They’re going to do all kinds of shenanigans to try to calm the markets. I don’t think any of it’s going to work, because we are still seeing hits on oil refineries in Bahrain today. We’ve seen another oil tanker get taken out off the coast of Oman today, okay? Now, the USS Abe Lincoln, I believe, is currently in the Arabian Sea, about 700 kilometers off the coast of the Strait of Hermos off Bandar Abbas, which is the major city, which is kind of right at the center point of the Strait of Hermos on the coast there.

And I would suspect that they’re going to start trying to interdict these drones and try to allow safe patches of ships. What it’s likely going to be is the first step towards an embargo on Iran, which is an embargo on China. And I talked about this in my extensive breakdown yesterday on the Canadian Prepper Channel. This is what they’re going to do. They’re going to try to create a blockade around Iran so they can’t get any cargo in or out. And there’s all kinds of rumors that they’re going to send in spec ops to take over the nuclear facilities and try to take over one of Iran’s foremost islands that is used for oil refinement.

It’s a major, major, major facility. It’s the size of a city. And they’re going to try to take that or potentially just target it. If they target it, then it’s game over. It lights out. All bets are off at that point. So, okay. Now, the reason why oil is going up so much is because the market is finally starting to realize that with all the shutdowns happening in the Middle East and with all the logistical backlog, that it’s going to take a long time to bring things back online, even if Trump comes out today and declares victory, which he may.

Okay. Anything is possible. But remember, we declared mission accomplished in Iraq and then it persisted for five years and the thing didn’t get out of control until long after Saddam died and long after we declared mission accomplished. In fact, I think it was five years after those events unfolded that the Iraqi war peaked in terms of US fatalities. So that tells us that this is only the beginning. Carolyn Levitt today refused to reject the idea that there might be a military draft for this particular conflict. Okay. Now, I think that under the pretense of a potential Iranian preemptive nuclear strike, they’re going to do a nuclear strike, particularly on some of these missile silos, because right now they’re saying, listen, they’re saying that they’re destroying everything.

They already told us that they destroyed Fordow, the same guy who said he completely obliterated the nuclear program a year ago is now telling you that they’ve obliterated all of the missile cities and all of the nuclear facilities. Okay. So that there should be a telltale sign that they’re full of shit. They can’t do this. Some of these facilities are buried 500 meters deep. There is no way in hell that you are getting deep enough with a conventional warhead. I don’t care if you drop 10 massive ordnance penetrators with pinpoint precision, one after the other down the shaft, it’s not going to work.

And if it does work, it’s only going to take out one part of the facility that could extend for miles in many directions underneath. So they’re lying. Because we are seeing the Iranians continue and they’re saying that they’re ready to fight all the way to the midterms at the current pace. And there’s a lot of misinformation right now saying that the amount of drone strikes and the amount of missile strikes is dwindling. Well, it is significantly lower than day one. Bahrain yesterday, I think was a subject of 17 missiles and over 100 drones, just that one country.

So somebody’s lying. Now I suspect that because the Iranian missiles have found a way around the best air defense in the world, and I mean, you got to hand it to the Iranians, they’re putting missiles not in massive salvos, not in a saturation tactic, they’re putting single or maybe two or three of these missiles and they’re getting through the Israeli defenses. Now many are still being shot down. But a lot are getting through. And so if you’re the Israelis right now, and if you’re the Americans, and you’re now seeing a new Ayatollah, and now you’re going to make the justification that maybe this new Ayatollah is going to be more hawkish, maybe he’s going to pursue nuclear weapons, we know that they have super heavy missiles that can put a potential nuclear warhead on target in Tel Aviv.

We got rumors, we have intelligence, the thing that they always say that is really irrefutable, right? Because it’s unfalsifiable, because the means of which they collect this information is classified. So they’ll just say, well, we have knowledge that the Iranians were getting ready to put a nuclear weapon or nuclear missile on one of these missiles that we can no longer defend against. Therefore, we had to strike preemptively with a nuclear weapon, and that will be used to try to hold the Iranians hostage and force surrender in the same way they did in World War II.

So number one, I broke down how they were going to do this at Fordow, because they could do it covertly, actually, they could actually detonate a nuclear weapon there potentially covertly, and they could explain the radiation signature as being the result of the Fordow highly enriched uranium exploding, even though there’s ways to track the specific isotopes back to either whether it was a nuclear weapon or whether it was the highly enriched uranium. Yeah, they could do that. They gave an evacuation order to Fordow for, I think, a city that was 30 kilometers away, which made no sense, considering they’re dropping bombs inside Tehran, which is a city of 10 million, and they haven’t told that city to evacuate to the best of my knowledge.

And even if they had, they’re still bombing it. So clearly, it’s not about that. I suspect that that will be one of the targets. Because right now, the only thing that has a chance in hell of taking out these missile cities, and these underground nuclear facilities that are buried in some cases 500 meters deep below a mountain, below limestone, is a nuclear weapon. And even that, it’s not guaranteed. So we’re talking potential strategic nukes or dial-a-yield B61 gravity bombs. And now that they have, basically, they’re bringing these planes that can drop said munitions over without encountering any sort of air defense, there’s a good chance that they could be dropping these B61 dial-a-yield gravity bombs that can go up to 300 kilotons.

Now, the B, I think it’s the E6B Mercury plane, has been deployed to the Middle East, and this is a nuclear command and control plane. This, too, is, while not unprecedented, highly unusual, because this, of course, would be giving the green light to go in terms of nuclear weapons. Now, of course, this could set off a chain reaction, because the Russians and the Chinese would potentially be on a much higher state of DEFCON, or lower state of DEFCON, higher state of alert and readiness. And once you open Pandora’s box, once you break the seal of normalizing the use of theater nuclear weapons, then, of course, the Russians have more justification to do it on their end.

And so it becomes normalized, it becomes commonplace. And if they drop a nuclear weapon, I think we’re going to see a pandemonium, the likes of which we haven’t seen probably in a long, long time, maybe since, like, the Cold War scares of the, what was it called, the Cuban Missile Crisis. I don’t even think that would do it justice. There was panic buying then, but I think this week we’re going to see some stuff. I’m not saying the nuclear stuff is going to happen this week, but absolutely, Saudi Arabia is now in the crosshairs.

For me, that’s a telltale sign. A little bit of insider information here, me and a friend who is very educated on these topics. We’ve been debating back and forth for about a year where a nuke would be used first. And I’ve finally given up. I’ve thrown in the towel. I’ve told him, you’re right, it’s probably going to be in the Middle East. I’ve always thought it would be in Europe first, but it appears as though he’s going to win the bet. And after hearing that they’re evacuating all the diplomats from Saudi Arabia, that’s the nail in the coffin for that.

So I have a strong suspicion that because these guys can say anything and a lot of the mega loyalists who don’t care about any of the Epstein stuff or any of the hypocrisy, any of the backpedaling on what the platform was originally meant to be, they will support this guy to the bitter end regardless. And many of them will be gung ho about it. Okay. So I would expect that if they got in a situation that they thought was intractable, they would absolutely use as justification a preemptive strike on Iran’s preemptive nuclear strike against us because of the failing missile defenses.

Now, of course, that wouldn’t mean that they would have to admit that the missile defense was failing, which would be indicative of how bad the situation was. It’s very easy to think that the Iranians are down and out in this fight. And indeed, they’re getting hammered hard. They’re virtually being decimated in the truest sense of the word by a factor of 10, which is significant. And if the US imposes a naval blockade on their cargo ships, then things are going to get a lot worse. However, while there still is a lot of resistance inside Iran, there it does seem to be more galvanizing of the pro IRGC supporters, at least as far as we can see.

So I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of these attacks are going to potentially backfire and unify the people in that country against the United States and the Israelis. The proxy war is raging across the entire region. Hezbollah is firing a lot of missiles into Israel to try to exhaust and occupy and saturate the Iron Dome and some of the lesser systems that aren’t used to target the incoming Iranian missiles and drones. We’re seeing complete upheaval throughout Iraq. US troops are getting in gunfights. I believe that Hezbollah took down a fire.

I mean, there’s blackouts, nationwide blackouts happening. Everything is just coming apart. And so it appears as though this is it. It appears we’re here. I mean, I told you last in my last video in Canadian Prepper that I thought that 150 was the base case. I don’t even know if that’s the base case at this point. Now, again, prepare for them to try to open the Strategic Oil Reserve. But remember, the oil reserve in the United States is still about half of what it was at its peak, okay. And we have a much larger population now than we had when it was at its peak.

And our energy needs are much, much higher. To bring online shale, tar sand oil, Venezuelan oil, this is all going to take years, especially if you’re in a global supply chain crunch that will be the result of this massive war that’s unfolding right now. Everything is going to take longer to build. Now, I suspect, hinted by that news agency which interviewed Carolyn Levitt today, I suspect that they are strongly considering not only boots on the ground, but they’re already thinking several steps ahead with a military draft. Now, what they’re going to start to do right now is they’re going to do the same thing.

They always do this good cop, bad cop routine with Israel and the United States. Every single time they do this, bookmark this post, every single time they feign division with Netanyahu and Trump, it is always an indicator that they’re about to escalate, every single time. And there seems to be this collective effort with a lot of influencers. And I was thinking about this the other day. And you know, I mean, Tucker Carlson, he’s kind of the best you’re going to get who’s on that level in terms of the A-listers, in terms of the influencers, he’s as close as you’re going to get to a guy you want to listen to, right? But I see the thumbnail and it’s Israel’s war against Iran.

Let’s make something abundantly clear. This is the United States war. They’re using US weapons, US funding, and US ISR. There is nothing that Israel does that the US government doesn’t know about. It’s not the tail wagging the dog in this situation. Maybe it’s a little bit of both, okay? But it’s a cop-out to just blame everything on Israel. And that’s a popular thing to do because then it acts as though Trump is just this naive child who’s along for the ride. No, he has agency. He very well could put the brakes on all of this if it’s not abundantly clear yet to people that this is a good cop, bad cop routine, that I don’t think you’re ever going to truly understand what is going on.

So when they’re saying things like, oh, Trump didn’t know that the refinery or the oil storage facility in Iran was going to be targeted. He didn’t think it was going to be that bad yesterday. And he’s upset with Israel. Just know they’re going to escalate. There’s nothing that Israel does that CENTCOM doesn’t know. This is CENTCOM. They got sensors everywhere from space to human intelligence to all the planes that are flying around 24-7. They know everything that the Israelis are going to do before they do it. I mean, it’s kind of a misnomer to say that because they’re one in the same thing.

One is the proxy of the other. So don’t believe all of that. Don’t believe that, oh, Trump is upset with Netanyahu because this has been planned for years. So stop falling for that shit. It’s going to get bad. I would strongly encourage you, and I’m doing this tonight, I’m going to the gas station and I’m filling up every jerry can I have with gasoline. Now, I have a lot of diesel stored because I live on an acreage. So I have a giant thing of diesel, but gasoline is kind of what we need to commute every day.

That’s great for farm equipment and stuff. And I don’t own a diesel yet. I’ve been meaning to get one, but the damn things are so freaking expensive nowadays. But so I would just strongly encourage people to really start taking, we’re getting into that phase. I told you a few months ago that the panic is coming. I told you a few years ago before anybody else that this war was coming. And when I say that with certainty, right, I told you that on Trump’s watch war with Iran was 100% guaranteed. I just thought that, you know, the Russian thing would escalate more than it has, even though that has, I mean, that that war is still out of control.

You’re not hearing about it, but drone swarm after drone swarm, they’re hitting oil refineries that look like the exactly the same type of explosions that we’re seeing in the middle East, but nobody’s talking about it. And now Putin is sitting back because he knows that the Russians are going to benefit a lot from this and they’re just waiting for those boots to hit the ground before they put the pedal to the metal in Ukraine. And I think China is about to do something as well, because if they economically suffer from this, what does Salente always say? When all else fails, they take it to war.

Well, that’s not exclusive to the United States policy. That’s policy everywhere. Okay, they need somebody, they need some cause to rally around the flag. They’re going to go for Taiwan. Absolutely. The reunification of China. Now, I’m pretty sure I’ve covered everything. I talked about the target bank of the IRGC being updated to include Saudi Aramco, various ports and regional oil and gas terminals. I don’t think I talked about the Hormuz maritime rules being updated. Remember, I was joking about these guys are going to want danger pay. Well, it turns out they do.

They want danger pay, and either that or repatriation costs if they choose not to go into the Strait of Hormuz. And many are not, many are just leaving. So that tells you how bad it is. Now, I’m not one of these people who’s like, Iran’s winning. I mean, that’s ridiculous. There’s some people if there was one Iranian left, they would say that Iran won, it was a strategic victory. Okay, no, I’m not saying that. But I am saying that you cannot underestimate these guys. They have been preparing for this for 40 years.

And while we’re seeing a lot of pinprick attacks compared to what the damage that we’re seeing coming out of Iran or Israel and the United States. I mean, they’re very meticulous with their targeting, they’re targeting a fad system, like you got to understand how difficult that is, to be able to hit a target with pinpoint precision. That’s like the size of a car from a couple 1000 kilometers away is very impressive technology. And so if they’re able to do that, and now a significant layer of air defense is blind in the Middle East, that means that they’re about to open up.

And when they open up, when they start firing those Shahid drones, like there’s no tomorrow, there ain’t going to be a damn thing that Saudi Arab Ramco can do. And we’ve yet to really see Yemen get involved in this fight yet. When that happens, we could potentially see ground invasions in both directions and hostage crisis. I think that could potentially be what causes them to put the brakes on this. In fact, I think Hezbollah tried to take a village in not Northern Israel, I can’t remember where it was. But somewhere around there, they tried to take a village potentially, and they claim to have taken POWs, although there’s no proof of that yet.

So they’re talking now about and again, any time you hear the Pentagon or the White House say something like, oh, Trump is mulling, sending in spec ops to reacquire the highly enriched uranium material. They’re putting that out there for a reason. And while I’ve known that these exercises have been run for years, in fact, I talked about it a couple years ago, that they were training for this very eventuality. Now that they’re talking about it, it makes me somewhat suspicious. That said, sometimes these guys are on the nose in terms of what they’re going to do in terms of broadcasting the plan.

And I don’t know if that’s some sort of weird satanic thing like you want to flex beforehand or what. But so we’re hearing mixed messages, all kinds of potential missions and operations that might unfold. I would just I’m 100% certain that at this point, there’s no way this ends in a peace deal, because there’s no way that Iranians are ever, ever going to trust the United States and Israel ever again. And I can’t see how this doesn’t either end in the full extirpation of the IRGC, or the unequivocal strategic defeat of the United States in that Iran still stands, the US doesn’t use nuclear weapons, and all of the oil and gas infrastructure throughout the Middle East is destroyed.

That’s the only there’s three options goes nuclear, you know, they somehow managed to do the ground thing and subvert the government there and do a military coup or do some kind of insurrection and it’s actually successful, or the whole Middle East goes up in flames. It’s got to be one of those things. There’s no silver lining here, at least not in the short term that I can see. Anyways, my friends, go stock up while you can. And Canadianpreparedness.com, you can still get a few good deals. We still have some gas masks. I put a new gas mask that we had found a whole skid of.

There were six boxes. There were these high quality Italian gas masks and very high quality stuff that we kind of, Mira was our primary supplier for that sort of thing, but originally it was Mestle Safety, who is this company who specializes in scuba gear, but they also make CBRN gear for the purpose of nuclear and they have their 40 millimeter NATO thread compatible. So you can put any sort of gas mask filter on there. So go and pick some up and just get it while the getting is good, because everything’s going to go up in price.

Even if this is resolved, you know, tomorrow, there still is going to be a massive backlog and it’s not going to be a glut for a long, long time. If we’re already seeing gas stations say that there’s no gas in parts of East Asia, that’s going to eventually come here and it’s going to be partly triggered by guys like me who are going out and stocking up on gas. But hey, we’re ahead of the curve. So that’s our reward. So do it before everybody else does. Thanks for watching guys. [tr:trw].
