was Saturday, 4/26/25.
TWO DAYS LATER WE GET:
Iran port explosion that killed
TWO DAYS?
(Death toll is high than that now BTW)
Two days later?
Questions are raised?
"STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
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 guess from 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.
Notice what
they didnt talk about?
Monday, April 28, 2025
And now you can add:
Iran repelled large cyber attack
April 28, 2025
OR:
Tuesday, April 29, 2025
Still think that Port explosion in Iran was an accident?
adds to Iran’s woes after port disaster"
(In the town where Israel had taken out
a missile defense system previously?)
AND
NEITHER ONE
GETS MENTIONED BY:
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.”
DOESNT THINK
THEY ARE WORTH MENTIONING?
And I used to like to listen to
NPR and Steve Inskeep
the host of morning edition,
during my morning commute,
but to somehow try
and frame this
Port Blast
this as due to
Iran's aging infrastructure
smacks of
GOVERNMENT PROPAGADA.
"Fascism:
Any authoritarian system of government
characterized by:
state economic control,
militaristic nationalism,
propaganda,
and the crushing
of opposition.
And NPR are the ones
who failed to mention
this ass clown
Nikku Madhusudhan
was wrong a short time previous
to making his outrageous claims
about Biosignatures on exoplanet K2-18b

Spiritual warfare on full display:
Not to mention,
why didn't we hear
anything about:
Iran accuses Israel of orchestrating port explosion
YNET 4/27/25
??????????
Apparently 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."
(Thursday, April 24, 2025
Spiritual warfare on full display:
"They got people on the inside
(to get the intell
and pull it off)
or they wouldn't be pulling off
what they have been here lately.")
"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?
)
