➡ A major explosion occurred at Iran’s largest port, which handles most of the country’s cargo. This port was previously targeted by Israel in a cyber attack. The explosion involved a chemical used in Iran’s ballistic missiles, which was shipped from China. This incident, suspected to be sabotage, has disrupted peace talks and increased tensions in the region.
➡ This text discusses the increasing isolation of certain countries from the West, potential military recruitment issues, and a port explosion in Iran. It suggests the explosion was a result of foul play, possibly by Israel, and could severely impact Iran’s economy. The text also mentions tensions between India and Pakistan, with potential military responses being planned. Lastly, it discusses Russia’s military actions in Ukraine and the potential for expanded conflict, as well as political commentary from Donald Trump.
➡ Trump is challenging Putin more aggressively than before due to Putin’s missile attacks on civilian areas, suggesting Putin may not want to end the war. This situation needs a different approach, possibly through banking or secondary sanctions, as too many people are dying.

This is your World War 3 off-the-cuff update. I apologize in advance for the lack of brevity of today’s post, but I’ve been incredibly busy around the homestead, wasn’t going to make a video, but my phone’s been blowing up all day, because apparently some geopolitical turmoil is afoot, so I thought I would share my thoughts on the events that I’ve been developing today. I’ve been trying to get as much work done around the homestead before bug season begins, and I think it’s going to be especially vicious this year. You see, we have a few days up here in Canada before summer begins, or spring begins, when there’s no bugs and the weather is nice enough to basically do anything outside, and these are those days, but nonetheless, I should comment on this.

So there was a massive explosion that took place today at the biggest port in Iran that handles 85% of the country’s cargo. This is a big deal. In fact, this same port was the subject of a massive cyber attack that took place in 2020. The perpetrators, of course, were the Israelis. Now, what else happened in 2020? Well, something that was very reminiscent of what we’re seeing today, only with a different chemical compound. I’m talking, of course, about the ammonium nitrate explosion that basically blew up part of that Lebanese city. Now, this explosion was not as big, but it was still incredibly significant, and it’s even more important because the chemical compound in question, sodium perchlorate, is actually what’s used in Iran’s ballistic missiles, and this shipment of sodium perchlorate was actually shipped from China for the use by the Iranians to make the rocket fuel for their rockets that they’re potentially going to use in a war with Israel.

Now, some people are speculating, and some people, I mean Israeli intelligence, were speculating that these shipments, or this fuel, this chemical, was going to be sent to Lebanon, in fact, for refinement there in order to be used in their missile systems, but we’ll probably never know. Nonetheless, the fact that this port was subject to an Israeli attack back in 2020, a cyber attack, the fact that it’s so strategic for the Iranians to have access to this port, the fact that it’s now been effectively shut down because of the risk of contamination and just the highly toxic chemicals that are basically being dispersed throughout the entire region, and of course, this happened right during the actual third round of talks between the Iranian foreign minister and Steve Witkoff in Oman.

Now, these talks were supposed to be the one in which the technical teams were involved and they were about to turn a corner, but now those talks have also hit a wall as well, as we’re going to talk about today. I’m going to share some more details about this port infrastructure and why this was so important, but this looks bad, okay? If the Israelis were able to smuggle 5,000 pagers, weapons or explosives into pagers and interdict the supply chain in order to create basically ticking time bombs, this seems like this would be pretty low-hanging fruit because I’m not buying for a second that this was an accident.

The most parsimonious explanation in my mind when you have Iran and Israel about to be in a hot war and Iran taking a shipment just a month ago from China for rocket fuel that they’re going to use in their ballistic missiles to fire at Israel and one of their most central ports that’s been targeted by Israel in the past, the most parsimonious explanation for that, my friends, is that this was sabotaged. Now, it doesn’t have to be sabotaged by the Israelis themselves. There are a lot of insurrectionists, insurgents, people who don’t like the theocracy in Iran, who could have been the perpetrators.

But nonetheless, I think it would be incredibly naive not to entertain the notion that this was in fact sabotage, and if the Israelis suspected that these Iranian talks were more than just performative, these peace negotiations or so called, were more than just pissing in the wind, then maybe they decided to take action and provoke the Iranians. Now, the Iranians are never going to admit what happened here. For though there is a hazardous goods section of that port, and even though they’re probably acting in accordance with the standards that one would come to expect, I don’t know what they are there, but there was a designated place for this type of chemical compound, so it’s not as though it was incompetence necessarily.

Of course, that’s what they’re going to say. A guy was smoking a cigarette, a fire got lit, and the fire got hot enough that it was able to ignite this stuff, because this is not the kind of stuff that just goes boom on its own. There has to be some sort of catalyst or ignition source. I believe it has to be a 500 degree heat source, which of course is fire, right? And so, yeah, I mean, there was a fire perhaps, and that’s what caused it, but these things don’t just happen.

Especially at this sensitive time where security is incredibly high, I cannot see how this could have been an accident. Now, all of this is happening while Pakistan and India continue to intensify their cross-border exchanges of fire. Now, this was not just a benign incident. Their whole militaries are getting mobilized. There’s nuclear threats, saber rattling, massive military exercises, skirmishes in various villages. I mean, it’s getting out of control. In fact, there’s been ambushes of Pakistani soldiers as well. They’re awaiting a airstrike by the Indians, and they’re saying that they’re going to respond to that.

So it’s getting out of control as well. And on the Russia-Ukraine front, that has basically fallen through as well in terms of peace negotiations. Donald Trump capitulated today that it appears as though Vladimir Putin does not want to stop the war, and unlike he claimed in his election, he’s not going to be able to stop the war with one phone call, or in 24 hours, 24 days, or probably 24 months for that matter. Because, well, just like I told you before, this is something which transcends Donald Trump and American politics. It’s bipartisan, it’s bicameral, and it doesn’t matter who they put in power.

This is a global war for resources and influence and power and territory, and that’s going to be the case no matter who they put in charge, which is why Trump is spending $27 billion on a missile defense shield to defend against Russian and Chinese nuclear weapons. You only do that if you’re not too optimistic about the future, if you know what I mean. Now, Vladimir Putin sent out an ominous message to his countrymen via a conversation that he had with his top general, Valerie Grissimov today, signaling that they’re not done in Iran just because they’re done in Kursk.

He was congratulating his soldiers on their successes in driving the Ukrainians out of Kursk. Well, it took long enough. What’s it been like a year almost? They also, for the first time, openly admitted that North Koreans were assisting on the front line, in fact, showing images of Russian soldiers with North Koreans on the front line. Now, remember, the Russians have been denying this since day one, and all of the Russian grifters online have been saying, yeah, that’s not happening, right? Even though Western intelligence has been saying, yeah, it’s happening, it’s happening, and you guys know I’m very critical of Western intelligence as well.

But I mean, it seemed obvious that that wouldn’t be something that they would lie about. And here we go, the truth comes out. Yes, in fact, North Koreans have been fighting alongside the Russians. But the question is, why would they unveil that right now? Especially at a time when they’re trying to supposedly broker some sort of deal with Whitcoff. And both sides, at least in the last week, have seemed a little bit more optimistic, although it depends on which publication you read. It’s a lot of ambiguous messaging. But it appears as though, based on the statements of Vladimir Putin, they’re going to go all the way.

Okay, he’s talking about eradicating the Nazi regime. And the fact that there are North Koreans there, and they’re now open about it, understand that the North Korean government is largely subsidized by the Chinese. And I personally, and I’m not racist, but I can’t tell somebody from Northern Siberia, and North Korea, and China, these are all like proximate places like China, Russia, North Korea, all have borders that touch in the same region. And those people are going to be very ethnically similar in terms of their physiognomy. So I suspect that China is assisting Russia in this fight in more ways than we understand.

And in fact, I don’t think that the North Koreans would do anything that went against the interests of the Chinese. So the fact that the North Koreans are participating in any capacity whatsoever, and that they’re being subsidized by the Chinese, and if they’re subsidizing or assisting the Russians, then, you know, it’s basically the Chinese who are helping the Russians. And the fact that this was a Chinese shipment of chemicals that were going to be used in Iranian rocketry today is fairly significant. It just shows you how all of those countries are becoming more and more harmonized as they become more and more isolated from the West.

I was going to say the rest of the world, but certainly not the rest of the world. BRICS is essentially the rest of the world in population. They’re the ones who are having babies still, and guys, it does not look good for us. So prepare to get drafted if you’re an able-bodied male if we make it 10 years, because our militaries are going to have to drastically increase recruitment if we can’t get these bipedal, what do they call them, humanoid robots operational before that time. Now, let’s talk a little bit about this port explosion.

In a bit more detail, I said this was going to be a quick video, and here we go. All right. So sodium percolate is a chemical compound used as an oxidizer in solid fuel rockets for ballistic missiles. The shipment was delivered in March 2025 from China, was intended to support Iran’s missile production, particularly to replenish stocks in the military operations against Israel. So, I mean, look, they put explosive material in 5,000 pages that went to all of the Hezbollah primary operatives. And you’re telling me that they couldn’t pull something like this off? I mean, this seems easy, to say the least.

This seems like low-hanging fruit. If you want to know the exact location, it was the Shahid Rajay port in Bandar Abbas. I’m certain that I’m mispronouncing that. This is Iran’s largest and most advanced commercial port. It’s 2,400 hectares, okay, something to the tune of 5 million square feet of space in terms of building space. 85% of Iran’s container traffic, a significant portion of that, is Petro-based products. In 2020, the port was the target of a massive Israeli cyber attack. And in May of last year, about half of the country’s petroleum products equivalent to 2,300,000 tons were transported through this port, which means that every day the port’s operations are stopped.

The delay of about 75,000 tons of petroleum products through the port. So this could cripple Iran’s economy if the problem is not quickly addressed. Now, I don’t doubt that the port is going to be operational again. But right now, it’s a basically a contamination zone, and people have been basically told not to go outside so they don’t breathe this stuff in, okay. The port does include specialized areas like the Sina container yard where the explosion occurred. This is specifically for the purpose of hazmat storage for deep, for chemicals and dangerous goods.

Now, according to Israel, the suspected destination was for Hezbollah. Unconfirmed reports indicates that a shipment of ammunition from the IRGC Quds Force intended for Hezbollah terrorists was destroyed by Israeli intelligence just before it was to be loaded on a ship in Iran. Now, again, Iran is not going to admit to this. Not only would it be too embarrassing, perhaps, they also don’t want to admit that there was a shipment of rocket fuel that came from China, and that potentially was en route to Hezbollah, okay. And it’s also a sign of weakness.

It doesn’t look good for, you know, unless you were trying to rally people against, to attack. And right now, Iran is obviously in a situation where they’re trying to be provoked by the Israelis, even though the Americans, once again, you’ll notice they’re trying to act like this third party. And I say the Americans, I’m talking about the deep state establishment. They’re trying to act as though they’re a mediator, a third party. When they are the ones, they’re the sole reason that Israel exists at all. They’re the reason why Israel has the weapons systems that they do.

They’re the reason why Ukraine has the weapons systems that they do. Yet, they’re trying to pretend as though, you know, they’re being, their hands are tied, right? Of course they are. So, Iran knows what’s happening here. Iran knows that they’re, and I’m sure that Vladimir Putin has been talking to either the Ayatollah or President Pizeshkin in Iran, telling him just stay calm, because they’ve been trying to do this to us for three years. They’ve been trying to give them a reason to invoke Article 5 so that they can declare all out war against you.

Don’t take the bait. Now, according to Iranian journalist, Muhammad Awazi, he claims that aerial footage shows three explosions at three separate locations at the port of Abbas, refuting claims of a single blast. Now, this, of course, if this is actually true, and I can see the aerial video, which shows multiple fires burning in places where there’s clearly a gap. Mind you, you know, these fires could have been ignited, and you could see how fire might jump over a few buildings and maybe ignite some other flammable fuel source. So, it’s not ironclad evidence at all, but I think there’s, like I said, I think the simplest explanation here is that this is foul play.

And whether or not the Iranians are going to acknowledge it or respond in their own asymmetrical sort of way is a mystery. But this is a sign that Israel, if they did do this, is committed to trying to sabotage these talks. Now, as in pertaining to the talks, just lost my train of thought there, oh, it’s been a long day. The Iranian foreign minister basically told state media that the third round of talks were serious, and there were major disagreements this time. This is not language that we’ve heard up until this point.

Aragchi said that both sides showed their willpower, but willpower alone is not enough. Okay. In Pakistan, the army has destroyed two Indian army posts using mortars and gunfire along the line of contact, inflicting heavy casualties. The Pakistani government has cancelled all vacations for military personnel, medical personnel, and hospitals are advised to stay on high alert. The Pakistani Air Force had also announced a major exercise that is going to be three days long, and it’s going to be a major air warfare exercise. As I indicated, there are cross border exchanges spreading in all sectors, heavy exchange of fire reported as the Pakistani army responds forcefully to Indian forces firing in Lipa Valley and other places, which you probably don’t know in and around the Kashmir region.

Now, according to India, they’re claiming that government sources have confirmed to the Indian express that a military option is being prepared in response to the terrorist attack that recently implicated Pakistan with operational planning and force posture adjustments underway. Current planning could involve the use of standoff weaponry launched from the Indian territory with target selection still being finalized. So if they do this, then the Pakistani government is likely going to respond. New Delhi continues to directly attribute responsibility to Pakistan and not just extreme extremist elements therein, including senior leadership figures such as the Pakistani army chief.

Okay, based on available information is reasonable to assess that cruise and ballistic missile options are being actively considered. And of course, if that’s the case, Pakistan has to presume then that there is the potential that these ballistic missiles are carrying on them nuclear weapons. And thus you find yourself in a lose it, use it or lose it situation. Now, pivoting to Russia, Russia’s top general, Valerie Grissomov, has officially confirmed that North Korean soldiers helped liberate the Kursk region from Ukrainian forces. Remember, they were lying about this for months and months.

They said that this is all just Western propaganda. So you have to wonder what else they’re lying about. Both sides lie, guys. Okay, it doesn’t matter what side you’re on, you need to understand that both sides lie. And why wouldn’t you? Because this is the fog of war. According to reports, Ukrainian forces suffered 67,600 casualties in the region. 67,000 just in Kursk. That’s crazy. Kursk was liberated according to Vladimir Putin and he announced that Russia has fully retaken the Kursk region from the Ukrainian forces. And now they’re going to, and I quote, continue to eradicate the Nazi regime.

And this is going to free up more manpower and material for other operations. So the Russians are about to expand the war. Lindsey Graham and his cronies are saying that they’re ready for secondary sanctions. As to additional sanctions on Putin’s Russia, I have bipartisan legislation with almost 60 co-sponsors that would put secondary tariffs on any country that purchases Russian oil, gas, uranium, or other products. How are they going to enforce that or measure that? Nobody knows. India, not surprisingly, has been stocking up on gold in the same way that China has.

The dollar has stumbled since Trump took office, set for the worst first hundred days of any U.S. president since Nixon. And here’s what Donald Trump had to say today with respect to his concessions on his inability to broker a peace deal with Vladimir Putin. And I’m going to end this video with this. This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s war, not mine. It was a loser from day one and should have never happened and wouldn’t have happened if I were blah, blah, blah. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden.

While he did give javelin missiles, he did back out of the non-proliferation, not the non-proliferation treaty, but the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty and many other things. But anyways, let’s just pretend for a second that it wasn’t his fault at all. And what a mess it is. With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas. This is the first time Trump is really, well, not the first time, maybe the second or third, but this is the most aggressive that he’s actually challenging Vladimir Putin.

Cities and towns over the last few days, missiles into civilian areas, it makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war. He’s just tapping me along and has to be dealt with differently, though banking on secondary sanctions, through banking or secondary sanctions, too many people are dying. So, there you go. Here we are, exactly where I said we would be. And that is why I got to get going, because I got a lot of work to do on the homestead before the fizzy hits the fizzy. Thanks for watching, my friends, and stay tuned.

We got a lot of great content coming your way. I was going to release one of those videos today, but it was just too weird of a day to do that. Maybe tomorrow. Thanks for watching. [tr:trw].
