⚠️This is how it started:
Footage captures the initial explosion in Bandar Abbas, southwest Iran.
UPDATE: The fire at Shahid Rajaee Port was reportedly caused by the infiltration of chemical compounds from China into Iran.
Sources say Iran planned to use these materials to produce solid fuel for advanced ballistic missiles like the Khyber Shekan and Fateh systems.

🇮🇷💥📹 — The closest footage shared so far have shows the moments leading up to this morning’s explosion at the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas in Southern Iran
On video, orange smoke, likely nitrogen dioxide, being produced by a fire interacting with a still unknown chemical can be seen right before the explosion takes place
Iranian journalists claimed that the holder of the cellphone filming died, but so far it wasnt confirmed
The chemical materials that would produce such smoke as well as the blast include:
Ammonium nitrate - NH₄NO₃
Dinitrogen tetroxide - N₂O₄
Nitric acid - HNO3
Sodium perchlorate (NaClO₄)
All of which are likely to have been stored at Bandar Abbas.
Interesting to note that Bandar Abbas Port was claimed to have received a cargo of Rocket solid fuel from Communist China's Zhuhai Gaolan port
Sodium perchlorate (NaClO₄) specially is used to make Ammonium perchlorate (NH4CIO4)
Iranian BMs and Rockets often use Ammonium perchlorate (NH₄ClO₄), alongside PBAN (Polybutadiene Acrylic Acid Acrylonitrile) and HTPB (Hydroxyl-Terminated Polybutadiene), whose materials aforementioned could be used to manufacture such.
As noted by netizens, the explosion on this Iranian port ressembles a lot the Beirut Port explosion of August 4, 2020 when 2750 tonned of ammonium nitrate detonated due to poor storage, causing 218 deaths, over 6,000 injuries, and displaced around 300,000 people, with damages estimated at US$15 billion, 31% of Lebanese GDP back then

🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.
When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

🇨🇳🛢 How much strategic oil does the world actually have in reserve?
Global strategic crude oil inventories stood at ~2.5 BILLION barrels as of December 2025, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
China holds by far the largest stockpile at 1,397 million barrels, more than 3 times the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve of 413 million barrels, which itself sits at only 58% of its full storage capacity of 714 million barrels.
China added an average of 1.1 million barrels per day to its strategic inventories throughout 2025, with preliminary data suggesting it continued building stockpiles in early 2026 ahead of the Iran War.
Japan holds the 3rd-largest reserve at 263 million barrels, followed by OECD European countries at 179 million barrels.
Meanwhile, the US is releasing 172 million barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve to suppress oil prices, part of a broader 400 million barrel coordinated release agreed by 32 IEA member nations in March.

🛢 JP Morgan Warns Oil Market Out of Balance, Prices Must Rise
🔸The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world’s oil flows, has removed 13.7 million barrels per day from global supply in April alone. A JP Morgan research note warns the market has no good way to replace it.
🔸Normally, spare production capacity in Saudi Arabia and the UAE acts as the market’s shock absorber. But that buffer has effectively been removed, eliminating the system’s first line of defense.
🔸With spare capacity unavailable, markets turned to inventories
➤ Global stockpiles are now being drained at ~7.1 mbd in April, an extraordinary pace, according to the note.
🔸Meanwhile, demand is collapsing because supply simply isn’t reaching users — “forced demand destruction.”The hardest hit sectors include:
▪️ Petrochemical plants across Asia are shutting down or slashing output as LPG, ethane, and naphtha flows from the Gulf collapse
▪️ Airline jet fuel ...
🛢⛽️ Global oil inventories are heading toward RECORD LOWS:
Global visible oil inventories have fallen -255 million barrels since the start of the conflict on February 27, to 7,864 million barrels.
Total estimated oil draws, including non-OECD refined products storage, have accelerated to 10.9 million barrels per day in April, the largest monthly draws on record since 2017.
Cumulative estimated draws since the start of the war now stand at 474 million barrels, with Hormuz flows holding at ~10% of normal, or 2.0 million barrels per day.
Meanwhile, even in an optimistic scenario where Strait of Hormuz flows begin recovering by late April, it is unlikely to prevent global visible inventories from reaching all-time lows, according to Goldman Sachs.
As inventories keep falling, physical oil markets are likely to require sharply higher prices for immediate delivery, since buyers cannot wait months for cheaper futures delivery when stocks are running critically low.
