#4 You’re on a roll today, SteveS.

Odd that it’s the same port that received an IDF cyberattack in 2020… But the IDF says it wasn’t them, which leaves only groups like the Sunni rebels of Sistan&Baluchestan province, ISIS in Iran, or Inshallah itself.

#6 Let's see if this works.

The clearest footage of the start of the explosion in Shahid Rajaee Port until now.

It starts with orange mist from Ammonium Nitrate (often used as fertilizer), then a fire, and then the main explosion. pic.twitter.com/p1kOgJS4vA

#8 Very dramatic, Snowy Thing.

Why would China listen to Israel about anything, Walking Unvaxed? They are too big and too far away for Israel to harm, and since Israel did not give China Haifa port to run, their trade is not significant for either party, as far as I am aware.

#9 tw: I sent that one to you via email before I knew where the explosion took place. I just changed phones, so I'm a little fuzzy on how to get the links out.
