Iran accuses Israel of orchestrating port explosion as death toll
rises to 36

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
...
...
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.

Over on the Blue Sky, a group of people who seem to know
what they're talking about analyzed the pictures of the
smoke and said the colours were more suggestive of ammonium
nitrate, as in fertilizer and the Beirut explosion. Oh,
and the Murrah building attack

Reddish-hued smoke is what was seen....both chemicals can produce
similiar colors.

"Because Ammonium Nitrate contains nitrogen and oxygen, an
oxidizer-heavy reaction produces more NOx fumes (colorless, yellow,
orange, or red, depending on the concentration, temperature, and
background)."

"Reddish-hued smoke: The presence of sodium perchlorate and other
perchlorates can contribute to the reddish color of the smoke produced
during a fire or explosion. This is because certain metal ions, like
those found in perchlorates, can absorb and re-emit light at specific wavelengths, resulting in a reddish hue"

But Iranian officials should wait for the evaluation...unless they
are politicians wanting to pull the wool over their citizens.

Even with Oklahoma bombing years ago, Clinton took a wait-n-see
approach.

These days, doesn't even matter if it's true, if there's evidence, or if
the evidence is clear. These two guys clearly want to scrap. I say,
let's let them have at it. Let's light up the Middle East. Enough of
the threats and posturing. Fight Club, step into the ring, gentlemen.

We'll come clean up after it's over. Fuck it.

Time to let the Middle East catch on fire.
