- Attacks in the Middle East conflict extended into a fifth week Sunday, with Israel striking Tehran and Saudi Arabia intercepting almost a dozen drones, a day after Yemen-based Houthi militants entered the war.
- President Donald Trump said that Iran “gave” the US most of the 15 demands it sent to Tehran as a plan for an end to the war, even as it remains unclear whether either side is really negotiating. “They gave us most of the points. Why wouldn’t they?” he told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday.

- BREAKING: I have confirmation that the Israeli Air Force used soft-kill weapons to cut electricity in Tehran and Karaj. Fortunately, none of the power plants were bombed. According to my sources in the IDF, the Israeli Air Force used CBU-94/B “Blackout” cluster bombs equipped with BLU-114/B soft-kill submunitions to induce electrical short circuits at multiple power plants and transformer stations, including those in the Pirouzi district of eastern Tehran.

Our North American Refinery Intelligence Service has released a new report analysing the incident, using infrared monitoring across 12 key processing units at the site. Together, these units represent a significant share of PADD 3 refining capacity.

- MAJOR UPDATE: The night hasn’t even ended and we have yet another major escalation which makes no sense! The U.S. and/or Israel just struck a major water source in Western Iran As we’ve seen in recent weeks, Iran has been retaliating reciprocally. This means that Iran will likely retaliate by striking a lifeline for the Gulf: Their desalination plants!
- Iranian strikes hit UAE's biggest aluminium smelter: EGA's Al Taweelah in Abu Dhabi takes major damage This happens after Israel attacked Iran's steel manufacturers, the 2 biggest ones, Mobarakeh Steel in Isfahan, central Iran, and Khuzestan Steel, in the southwest. This made Iran retaliate accordingly. Seems like every time Israel attacks, it's the Gulf that suffers.
- Insane footage: The Revolutionary Guard's fuel depot is on fire in Tehran tonight. The organization running Iran's military just watched its own capital's fuel supply burn.
- The Pentagon is planning weeks of ground operations while the White House says the war is almost over... Trump: "I'm not putting troops anywhere." Rubio: "We can achieve all objectives without ground troops." Meanwhile, the Pentagon is war-gaming raids on Kharg Island and coastal weapons sites that officials say would take "weeks, not months." One source even said "a couple of months." 62% of Americans strongly oppose ground troops in Iran. Republican congressmen who are Navy SEALs are saying no. And Lindsey Graham compared seizing Kharg to Iwo Jima, a battle that killed 6,800 Marines. The most honest quote came from a former defense official: "Seizing it is not difficult. Protecting your guys once they are there is." Every expert says the same thing. You can take the islands. You just can't hold them without becoming a target practice range for Iranian drones and missiles. And 62% of the country doesn't even want you to try.
- The U.S. sanctions waiver just handed Iran nearly double its entire yearly defense budget... The math is devastating. Trump's waiver unlocked roughly 170 million barrels of Iranian crude worth an estimated $14 billion. Iran's entire 2024 military budget was $7.9 billion. One policy decision gave Tehran almost twice that in a single stroke. At $20,000 per Shahed drone, that money theoretically buys 700,000 of them. The daily numbers are just as absurd.

"I just think it's very dangerous to play around with this stuff." "I don't want a revolution. But if you wanted a revolution, this is how you would act." (video)

- Obama-era money laundering operation was funneled through Cayman Island accounts, using USAID as a front disguised as foreign aid, lining their own pockets and funding regime change operations. In Cuba, rogue Obama-era USAID ops injected $1.2 billion into activist groups, training them on Facebook, Twitter, hashtags, and street protests. It was all designed to fool Americans, Congress, and even the White House. Obama secretly funded Zunzuneo, a fake Cuban Twitter clone (hummingbird) built to look local. It started with harmless sports and weather posts, then flipped to political propaganda, organizing dissent and fueling mass protests. Funds were routed through Cayman accounts falsely labeled "Pakistani aid" for digital psyops and uprisings. Decades of operations disguised as "aid" robbing YOU and America blind while you were paying for the same propaganda that was deployed against you.

- 200 helium containers are stranded in the Persian Gulf right now. Each one holds 41,000 liters cooled to -269°C. The containers have no refrigeration. No compressor, no cooling loop. Insulation is all that stands between the cargo and ambient heat, and it buys 35 to 48 days. After that, the liquid boils, the pressure valve opens, and the helium vents to atmosphere. Re-liquefying it requires a specialized plant. Most ports do not have one. Qatar's North Field supplied 33% of the world's helium as a byproduct of cryogenic separation at its LNG plants. On March 2, Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Spot prices surged 70 to 100 percent. EUV lithography requires 99.9999% purity helium for wafer cooling and no current substitute exists. The fifth helium shortage since 2006 has just begun.

- BREAKING: An Iranian ballistic missile guided by Chinese BeiDou satellites, fuelled by Chinese sodium perchlorate, precisely navigated by Chinese gyroscopic sensors, and fabricated on production lines equipped with Chinese SMIC tools just struck the Neot Hovav industrial zone south of Beersheba. Israel’s largest chemical and hazardous waste complex. Nineteen plants. Adama. Teva Pharmaceutical. Israel Chemicals. A warehouse is burning. Route 40 closed. No injuries. No hazmat release. Fire contained. Four countries built that missile. One country appears at every layer of the supply chain. The same country that processes 85 to 90 percent of the rare earth magnets inside the Arrow interceptor that was fired to stop it.

- THIS IS THE DOMINO EFFECT MOST PEOPLE MISS. It doesn’t start with empty shelves. It starts here. Fuel stops. Trucks stop. Movement stops. And once transport freezes… Everything behind it stacks up fast: • Food. • Medicine. • Materials. • Fuel itself. Supply chains don’t break slowly. They look fine… until suddenly they’re not. Australia is the warning. The question is: Who’s next? Watch this closely.

- WAR ON FOOD. USA gives coordinates and Ukrainian drone strikes hit major fertilizer facilities in Russia: • Dorogobuzh plant (Smolensk) – shut down after deadly attack. • Apatit plant (Cherepovets) – major phosphate producer hit. • Kirovo-Chepetsk chemical plant – another key facility targeted. At the same time: • Russia restricts fertilizer exports. • China cuts exports. • Middle East conflict blocks up to 30%+ of global supply. Prices are rising. Supply is shrinking. This doesn’t just hit farmers—this hits food prices worldwide. Are we watching the start of a global food crisis?

- Iran’s attack on Prince Sultan Air Base destroyed a U.S. command aircraft that will cost $1B+ to replace — and possibly destroyed three Stratotankers costing $80 million each. New images show a destroyed Boeing E-3 Sentry at the base in Saudi Arabia, with the fuselage torn open and burned out—damage likely consistent with a total loss. (pic)

- The world is about to experience the most dramatic and catastrophic helium shortage in history. My lab equipment (mass-spec) uses helium. We stocked up weeks ago, but it won't last forever. Microchip lithography fabs require helium, too. No helium means no more GPUs will be manufactured. No AI chips for Teslas. No high-bandwidth memory chips.
