Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast [Beirut explosion not an "accident?"]
The Jerusalem Post ^ | Aug 6 | Frantzman

Posted on 08/06/2020 9:24:58 AM PDT by delta7

Hezbollah’s comments in 2016 and 2017 suggest it consulted experts about how to cause mass death using other means than just missiles and how to strike at strategic or other infrastructure. That it considered using missiles to target a boat or destroying a ship by other mean suggests the level of terror threats that it has come to. 2016 was the height of the Iran deal era and it also illustrates that despite the US seeking to work with Iran and cases against Hezbollah’s drug trafficking even being slowed down in the US, the organization did not moderate but was actively thinking of ways to kill tens of thousands of people.... Ammonia nitrate.....

Confiscated by whom is the question to ask.

It came from the Ukraine, home of much corruption. Hezbollah has free run of Lebanon. Not unlikely it was their terror inventory and "confiscating" it was delivery.

That would be on that other site. Here’s it’s a massive communist conspiracy, and you declare it as one of the 45 goals.

I suspect the “confiscation” was actually taking delivery.
It’s not clear why the ship ended up in that port when it was supposed to deliver the cargo elsewhere.

Thanks for the link.

It wouldn’t surprise me if something triggers major military action in that area in the next week or so.

IDF has been on high alert for weeks.

Snicker. Excellent humor there.

You follow the "news" faithfully and still don't know...anything.

If I remember right, Ammonium Nitrate attracts moisture. It will clump up.

It also loses some of its effectiveness over time. It degrades.

Let’s say $150 a ton.

$150 x 100 tons = $15,000

$150 x 1000 tons = $150,000

You are getting close to a half million dollars sitting there for six years.

Plus, you use fertilizer to increase crop yields. That fertilizer could have really increased crop yields which would have increased food and money received for the crop.

I will not go into my background, but do realize ammonium nitrate requires detonation ( not fire- not an ignitor but a detonator)) to create an explosion. Israel has stated numerous times that building was storing arms shipments from Iran....to many factors pointing to another huge victory against terrorism.

Not True

Witness the Texas City disaster of 1947 where ship being loaded with Ammonium Nitrate caught fire and exploded setting another ship loaded with Ammonium Nitrate on fire which subsequently exploded

A sufficient quality of Ammonium Nitrate heated to its decomposition point and confined will detonate

Been number of accidents involving ammonium Nitrate

Texas City 1947
Brestn France 1947
West Texas 2013

“where it’s shielded by a tall building”

Especially, a tall concrete reinforced grain silo building.

They knocked down similar structures just south of Buffalo, NY on the Lake Erie shoreline in the 70’s. They used all the concrete to build the breakwater for a marina.

I worked right next door to old grain storage facility on the Buffalo River in 1984. The General Mills Cheerios factory was on the other side. Whenever they would burn a batch of cheerios, out they went on the conveyor outside to a big pile. At night the rats would come out to eat the cheerios. Biggest rats I have even seen. Whole grain oats fed rats.

So 2700 tons of fertilizer did that much damage to the highrise.

How much was used in Oklahoma city?

IDF has recently initiated largest active training excercises specifically aimed at Hezzbollah militants, weapons facilities, missile sites, all of which Hezzbollah has placed in populated areas....timing rather strange, but if not a deliberate attempt by man, and purely an “ accident”, the fact remains that ammonium nitrate can no longer be weaponized by Hezzbollah against Israel.....and that specific port can no longer receive weapons shipments from Iran , until repaired who knows when....Hezzbollahs planned attack on Israel has been crippled, set back, and that is very good news, much to Iran’s disappointment.

Just to be logical: how did the fire in the fireworks warehouse start? That would be the obvious question...

Turkey and allies are quite at odds over Libya, vs Egypt, UAE, France. Lebanon is very close with Lebanon.
