Russia Halts Ammonium Nitrate Exports As Global Fertilizer Crisis Set To Worsen

The fertilizer crisis appears to be worsening just as the Northern Hemisphere planting season, in some areas, is about to begin, with top ammonium nitrate supplier Russia announcing on Tuesday via state media that exports of the critical crop nutrient will be halted.

Russia’s state-run news agency TASS said Russia will suspend ammonium nitrate exports from March 21 through April 21. The report cited a statement from the Agriculture Ministry.

The temporary restriction is intended to secure domestic fertilizer supplies during the spring planting season. Exports made under intergovernmental agreements are exempt.

Second Youth-Center Gang-Rape Case Emerges As Cover-Up Fears Grow In Germany

A mother in Lower Saxony who found a disturbing video on her daughter’s phone that revealed that she was gang raped inside a church-run youth center by three teens, including a Syrian, Iranian, and Dutch national, in Gnarrenburg. However, once the story came out, it only grew darker, as it was revealed that staff, church officials and local authorities subsequently did everything possible to bury the story.

Gulf States Edge Toward Joining Fight Against Iran – WSJ

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates get tougher on basing and finances

U.S. allies in the Persian Gulf are inching toward joining the fight against Iran, getting tougher following persistent attacks that have disrupted their economies and risk giving Tehran long-term leverage over the Strait of Hormuz.

Imagine how much closer they will be by the end of this week if IRAN destroys their electical and water infrastructures in retaliation for US/Israeli attacks overnight. I suspect they will decide quickly should this occur. IF they do — will Pakistan (and it’s nuclear arsenal) join forces with Iran?

Israel, US Strike Gas Facilities In Iran’s Isfahan, Possibly Triggering Retaliation Against Gulf

Further to https://goldtadise.com/?p=693351

FOG OF WAR is extremely thick & timelines are fluid — this “seems” to have happened tonight (after DJT said there would be a 5 day pause) however additional confirmations should be forthcoming tomorrow….. IF correct ….. it may well trigger IRAN threatened retaliation to destroy water & power infrastructure throughout the ME muslim nations as well as Israel.

Overnight reports are emerging of a huge and alarming escalation which will likely dash any chance at alleged peace talks: US-Israeli strikes Monday reportedly targeted energy-related facilities in Iran’s Isfahan province and southwestern city of Khorramshahr:

Israel and the United States have delivered strikes on a pipeline and a gas distribution station in southwestern and central IranFars reported.

According to the news agency, the building of a gas distribution station in Isfahan and a gas pipeline running to a power plant in Khorramshahr on the border with Iraq came under attack. No injuries have been reported. Material damage was caused to the infrastructure and adjacent residential buildings, the news agency specified.

Also IF correct, this would be the 3rd time that military attacks have occurred as peace talks were supposedly underway….(again from DJT the 5 day pause to enable talks via Pakistan).

Hundreds Of Gas Stations Run Dry In Australia As Hormuz Shock Exposes Energy Security Failures

Australia’s weird obsession with “green energy,” compounded by a lack of urgency regarding proper energy security, has now collided with the worst energy crisis the world has ever seen.

A country heavily dependent on imported refined petroleum products, many of which transit the Strait of Hormuz, has reached the fourth week of the U.S.-Iran war, but with a full-blown fuel supply shock now underway, and hundreds of gas stations across the country running dry.

The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it — FORTUNE Magazine

The U.S. government is insolvent. That’s not hyperbole — it’s the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department’s own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025.

Importantly, the $47.78 trillion in reported liabilities does not include the unfunded obligations of social insurance programs like Social Security and Medicare — those are disclosed separately in the off-balance-sheet Statement of Social Insurance (SOSI).

The government’s consolidated balance sheet position, excluding the SOSI, deteriorated by nearly $2.07 trillion between FY 2024 and FY 2025, reaching a staggering negative $41.72 trillion. Total liabilities are now nearly eight times the value of reported assets.

REMINDER that the USA passed into law (a couple of years ago) that they no longer have to follow normal GAAP accounting rules and are allowed to keep two sets of books for every area. Therefore the above may or may not be accurate depending on what the government is trying to pretend about their fiscal situation. It may be much worse (better also possible)…….

US Bombs Somalia for 47th Time This Year

According to US Africa Command, the strike targeted al-Shabaab in southern Somalia

AFRICOM said the strike targeted al-Shabaab about 50 miles northeast of the town of Jamaame in Somalia’s Lower Juba region.

The Somali Defense Ministry said its new operation was focused on Somalia’s Lower Shabelle region, north of the Lower Juba region. “The forces, supported by AUSSOM (African Union) troops from Uganda and international partners, are conducting operations aimed at dismantling key Al-Shabaab strongholds and cutting off the routes used for their terrorist activities,” the ministry said.

The US has also been launching airstrikes in the northeastern Puntland region against an ISIS affiliate, which started in 2015 as an offshoot of al-Shabaab.

Trump calls Israeli President Herzog ‘weak and pathetic’ for not pardoning Netanyahu

US President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack Sunday on Israeli President Isaac Herzog, calling him “weak and pathetic” and accusing him of lying about a promise to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu faces long-running domestic corruption charges related to favors and benefits he allegedly received in exchange for regulatory favors, legislative action, and diplomatic support to wealthy businessmen and media moguls.

“He told me many times, more than once, that he would pardon him, and he lied to me,” Trump told Israel’s Channel 14, adding that Herzog was “not a leader.”

He argued that Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial was a distraction from the war effort.

“Bibi needs to focus on the war, not on nonsense,” he said.

Israel Thought It Could Spur Rebellion Inside Iran. That Hasn’t Happened. NY Times

President Trump’s hopes that an Israeli plan to ignite an internal uprising against Iran’s theocratic government could bring the war to a swift end have so far been dashed.

Within days of the war’s beginning, said David Barnea, the Mossad chief, his service would likely be able to galvanize the Iranian opposition — igniting riots and other acts of rebellion that could even lead to the collapse of Iran’s government. Mr. Barnea also presented the proposal to senior Trump administration officials during a visit to Washington in mid-January.

Iran denies targeting Diego Garcia amid speculation about missile range

Iran has denied reports that it targeted the US-UK military base on Diego Garcia as Israel claimed its missiles could reach London

A senior Iranian official on Sunday denied to Al-Jazeera that Iran attempted to launch a missile strike against the US-UK military base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean.

This came after the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Iranian missiles had attempted, but failed, to strike the base on Diego Garcia.

The alleged attack sparked widespread speculation about the range of Iran’s ballistic missiles. Diego Garcia is located approximately 3,800 kilometres to the southeast of Iran, while Iran previously said that its missiles had a maximum range of 2,000 kilometres.
