Let's get an assessment of an explosion at an Iranian seaport. Photos show shipping containers crushed like cans in a cloud of black smoke. State media say this blast killed at least 40 people and injured more. People trying to figure this out include Trita Parsi, who is executive vice president at the Quincy Institute, which in its own words favors military restraint and diplomatic engagement. He focuses on Iran. Welcome back, sir."
"TRITA PARSI: Thank you so much for having me."
"INSKEEP: What sources are you consulting and what do they tell you?"
"PARSI: Well, I've been talking to folks inside of Iran as well as following news there, and the picture remains divided. It's not entirely clear exactly what happened and whether this was an accident or whether it was an act of sabotage. Now, of course, you had several explosions with a certain distance between them. That seems to lend itself to be better explained by an act of sabotage rather than an accident.But again, at this point, we still don't know exactly what happened."
(I had read that as well:
"...you had several explosions
with a certain distance between them.
That seems to lend itself to be better explained
by an act of sabotage rather than an accident."
Yo homie?
Aint no way:
"had several explosions
with a certain distance between them."
And they are all
an accident
right at the same time "negotiations"
were taking place in Oman.
Just sayin'.)
INSKEEP: Yeah. I guessfrom official sources so far through state media, we've mainly heard what they say did not happen more than what did. They've said that this was not related to refineries, fuel tanks or oil pipelines, according to the national oil company. They've said this had nothing to do with Iran's defense sector. It did seem to have something to do with, quote, "hazardous goods," but we don't know more than that. Does this make you think at all about Iran's infrastructure, though? Last year, Iran's president was in a helicopter that crashed and killed him, turned out to be an accident. Could we be seeing further signs of infrastructure that's decaying in Iran?
(Anything but what it is.
This is what they blame all of Israel's covert operations on:
"further signs of
infrastructure that's decaying in Iran"
and it is, no doubt,
but its also
a convienent excuse on which to blame things on.)
"PARSI: Certainly, and I don't think that's been a mystery at all. Given more than 40 years of sanctions on the country, it's been quite clear that the infrastructure is in very poor shape. Iran has one of the highest rates of airline crashes as well. So that in itself is clear. What's added to the picture, of course, is that this is happening in the background of very sensitive nuclear talks between the United States and Iran. In fact, this explosion happened just as the Iranian foreign minister and Witkoff were meeting not far away from there in the country of Oman."
(And that alone should tell you what's up.)
"INSKEEP: You've been an advocate of U.S. engagement with Iran over the years and a supporter of the nuclear deal that the United States made and President Trump pulled out of years ago. Trump clearly hasn't been a fan in the same way of engagement, but here the Trump administration is talking directly with Iran. What do you make of that action?"
"PARSI: Well, I think he's come to the conclusion that at the end of the day, something needs to be done to make sure that there isn't an Iranian nuclear weapon, and something needs to be done in order to make sure that there isn't war between the United States and Iran. And negotiations and a verification-based deal is ultimately the best guarantee that exists to make sure that both of those very negative outcomes are avoided."
"INSKEEP: When you study the statements on the Iranian side, do you detect any real willingness for a deal on any terms the United States could accept?"
PARSI: The willingness for a deal on the Iranian side, I would say, is the strongest I've ever seen, including when the Iranians did agree to a deal with Obama in 2015. There is an upside with Trump that the Iranians see that I don't think they saw with Biden, for instance, which is that they know that the willingness from the U.S. side to actually offer much more and much more sustained sanctions relief is far greater with Trump. So there's a clear willingness there."
"And at the same time, Trump has insisted that his only red line is nuclear weapons, which then creates a common denominator between the two sides since the Iranians say that they don't want a nuclear weapon.
(Say is one thing,
What they are doing?
Is quite tge other,)
"What complicates it is if the United States were to adopt the Israeli position, which is that there's a complete dismantlement of the program, zero enrichment. That's where we know that there will be a tremendous amount of differences and probably no negotiations at all."
"INSKEEP: In a few seconds, why do you think it is the Trump administration would be in a position to offer greater sanctions relief than Biden was?"
"PARSI: Because Trump is willing to put primary sanctions on the table, which are the sanctions that are targeting American companies. The Iranian nuclear deal from 2015 only lifted the sanctions that were prohibiting non-American companies from going into the Iranian market."
INSKEEP: Got it. Trita, thanks so much for your insights. Really appreciate it.
PARSI: Thank you for having me.
INSKEEP: That's Trita Parsi of the Quincy Institute.
who is executive vice president at the Quincy Institute,
I most certainly
would have mentioned
those two events
but Mr.:
"executive vice president of the Quincy Institute. He is an award-winning author and the 2010 recipient of the Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East. He has authored four books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel. He has been named by the Washingtonian Magazine as one of the 25 most influential voices on foreign policy in Washington DC for five years in a row since 2021, and preeminent public intellectual Noam Chomsky calls Parsi “one of the most distinguished scholars on Iran.”

didnt know anything about that either
being as how he didn't see fit to mention it
in his interview with NPR.
"Iranian officials claim 'clear evidence' links Israel to the deadly explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port, despite ongoing investigations into whether the incident was caused by improper storage of dangerous chemicals"
"For the first time, Iran publicly accused Israel of involvement. "Israel was involved in the Rajaee Port explosion. This was not an accident,” Iranian parliament member Mohammed Seraj alleged."
“Explosives were planted in containers, either at the country of origin or along the shipping route. We do not rule out internal elements helping plant the explosives." He claimed that: "Clear evidence points to Israeli involvement. The explosion occurred at four different locations."
"Later, Russia announced it would send aircraft to assist with firefighting efforts."
"Shahid Rajaee Port is believed to have recently received shipments of sodium perchlorate from China — a key ingredient for manufacturing solid rocket fuel used in Iran’s ballistic missiles. Overnight, a source described as linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed to The New York Times that sodium perchlorate was the material involved.
Iran’s Defense Ministry, however, denied any military materials were stored at the port, dismissing foreign media reports as "part of an enemy psychological operation."
(Thats why the SOB
burned for two days
and the Russians
sent in firefighting equipment
then right?
)
"So far, there is no conclusive evidence
the blast was caused by a deliberate attack"
(Horseshit,
multiple fires don't start themselves
followed by an explosion
at the same time
"negotiations" start
300 miles away, then a cyber attack the next day,
and an explosion at a chemical plant in a town
where there is a nuclear site the next.
)
"Iran’s leadership has not officially suggested sabotage. Iran is currently engaged in negotiations with the United States —
the explosion coincided with a third round of talks
Saturday in Oman —
making a deliberate act of sabotage unlikely,
as it could jeopardize the talks."
(Well you know?
Just maybe?
Somebody does want to:
"jeopardize the talks"
or at least wants to appear
as though they do.)
"Still, negligence or a technical failure remains a strong possibility. Iran has suffered several such incidents in the past, due to aging infrastructure, U.S. sanctions severely hampering maintenance and widespread mismanagement and corruption."
"Satellite images analyzed by The Associated Press also showed the devastation of the explosion that injured more than 1,000 people. The photos from Planet Labs PBC came as local news reports from the site raised more questions about the cause of the blast Saturday at the Shahid Rajaei port near Bandar Abbas."
(Before:
After:
).
"The port reportedly took in a chemical component needed for solid fuel for ballistic missiles — something denied by authorities though they’ve not explained the source of the power that caused such destruction."
"The force of the blast also could be seen, with what appeared to be two craters measure some 50 meters (165 feet) across. Other containers nearby appeared smashed and distended by the explosion and the intense fire that followed."
"The fire still burned at the site Monday, some two days after the initial explosion that happened just as Iran began a third round of negotiations with the United States over its rapidly advancing nuclear program."
"Authorities still haven’t offered an explanation for the explosion."
“The incident happened following a false statement about the dangerous goods and delivering it without documents and tags,” Jafari said.
"Another report by the semiofficial ISNA news agency claimed the cargo that caused the blast was not reported to customs authorities as well.
Only high-level authorities in Iran, such as its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, could circumvent normal procedures at the port."
For God has put it into their minds to carry out his purpose and to make them come to an agreement to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are accomplished.
until they meet their
"decreed"
end
Daniel 9:27
He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[a] In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
Revelation 19:20
20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
I've said it
about me and honey
as well:
"Nobody is going to stop this."
Revelation 11:3
And I will give power
unto my two witnesses,
and they shall prophesy
a thousand two hundred and threescore days,
clothed in sackcloth.
(Black :-), figures right?)
Till we are done:
Revelation 11:7
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
