The timing of the US-Israeli attack on Iran “literally could not be worse” for the fertilizer industry, StoneX Group brokerage VP Josh Linville told Bloomberg, alluding to the imminent start of the Northern Hemisphere’s growing season, and problems shortages of the key farming ingredient could cause.

Here’s what’s at stake if US-Israeli aggression continues:

🌏 1/3+ of the world’s Sulphur and ammonia-based fertilizers pass through the Strait of Hormuz, now blocked amid the Iran strikes’ escalation into a regional war

🌏 ~5% more pass through the Red Sea, including Russian, Belarusian and European fertilizers heading to Asia, and Jordanian, Egyptian and Israeli potash, nitrogen and phosphates shipped to world markets

🌏 Iran, a global top ten producer of urea – a high-nutrient fertilizer variety, and major exporter of anhydrous ammonia (4.5M and 800k tons, respectively) has been forced to halt its own exports.

🌏 Egypt and Jordan, which depend on imported energy to produce their fertilizers, face skyrocketing prices

🌏 If Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb are out of bounds, what remains of exports will need to be shipped around the Cape of Good Hope, arriving weeks later, while costs surge thanks to hiked shipping costs and market speculation (urea prices have already skyrocketed from $470-$531 in four days, per Trading Economics)

What does less fertilizers mean?

🌏 Lower yields of key staple crops (corn, wheat, rice, etc.), carbohydrates critical to diets in many developing countries, and used heavily to feed animals (livestock, farmed fish)

🌏 Higher food prices

🌏 High logistical costs and the complex chemical nature of different fertilizer varieties makes the commodity a just-in-time (JIT) piece of farming supply chains. ‘Strategic fertilizer reserves’ are rare and expensive

Who’s the most vulnerable?

India, which imports urea heavily from Gulf nations, and relies on Qatari LNG for domestic plants

Brazil, which gets as much as 1/3 of its fertilizers from Oman and Qatar

Turkey, which relies on Iranian fertilizers

🌍 An array of other nations, from South Africa, Ethiopia and Niger to Thailand and Bangladesh

France, Germany and the United Kingdom join the US and Israeli offensive against Iran after the Iranian regime’s bombings in the Gulf.

The three European powers announce that they will take necessary measures to defend their interests and those of their allies in the region, including defensive actions.

The joint statement comes after the lack of agreement at the EU emergency meeting on a common position on the crisis.

Spain, through Pedro Sánchez, rejects the unilateral military action of the US and Israel and calls for a response based on diplomacy and détente.

Although at first they distanced themselves from the attack Donald Trump y Benjamin Netanyahu against Tehran, the three great powers of Europe have decided to take this step as a result of the “indiscriminate and disproportionate” bombings of the ayatollah regime against the Gulf countries.

“Iran’s irresponsible actions have attacked close allies and endanger our military personnel and our civilians throughout the region,” Paris, London and Berlin reported in a joint statement.

“We will take the necessary measures to defend our interests and those of our allies in the region, including allowing necessary and proportionate defensive actions to neutralize at its source Iran’s ability to launch missiles and drones,” the statement said.

“We have agreed work together with the United States and with the region’s allies on this issue,” concludes the short joint text signed by Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer and Friedrich Merz.

The joint declaration of the three great powers of Europe has occurred after the lack of agreement at emergency Foreign Affairs meeting of the EU that was held this Sunday. A meeting that did not even serve to agree on a declaration signed by the Twenty-seven Member States.In her place, the head of community diplomacy, Kaja Kalla, has published a statement which also appeals to the ayatollah regime to “refrain from launching indiscriminate military attacks.”

“We express our solidarity with partners in the region who have been attacked or have been affected. We reiterate our commitment to regional stability and the protection of civilian lives,” says Kallas.

In fact, the president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyenspent the entire day on Sunday calling the Gulf countries hit by Iran’s attacks: Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Oman.

“The security of the Gulf is closely linked to ours. This is also in Europe’s strategic interest,” Von der Leyen said.

In his statement, Kallas appeals for “maximum containment, the protection of civilians and the full respect for international law, including the principles of the United Nations Charter and international humanitarian law. “The Middle East has much to lose from any protracted war,” he says.

“The events taking place in Iran must not lead to an escalation that could threaten the Middle East, Europe and other regions, with unforeseeable consequences, including in the economic sphere. Any disruption to critical sea lanes such as the Strait of Hormuz must be avoided, “concludes the head of community diplomacy.

At first, Germany, France and the United Kingdom reacted with distance to the attack by the United States and Israel against Iran. “We have not participated in these bombings“, they were quick to emphasize in their first joint statement published on Saturday, in which they appealed to return to the path of diplomacy.

A disagreement that has been harshly criticized by one of Trump’s closest allies, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. “Our European allies have lost their way. Their commitment to opposing evil seems to apply only to their backyard,” he wrote this Sunday on his Twitter account.

The truth is that Trump’s military intervention in Iran has deepened the internal divisions of the EU on everything related to Israel and the Middle East. A cacophony of voices that condemns Brussels to irrelevance in the conflict.

Unlike Canada or Australia, no EU member state -not even Trump’s closest allies, such as Hungary, Slovakia or Italy- has expressly supported US intervention in Iran. However, some countries – such as Germany or the Baltics – have lent tacit support by emphasizing the destructive nature of the ayatollahs’ regime.

“The US has been seeking a negotiated solution for years. Iran has not accepted a reliable agreement that would end its military nuclear program, nor has it committed to reducing its missile program or ceasing its destabilizing activities,” said the chancellor. Friedrich Merz, in the European position closest to supporting the attack.

Merz is scheduled to meet with Trump next Tuesday in Washington. “I maintain close contact with partners throughout Europe, Israel and the region. This is not the time to lecture our alliesbut to stay united,” says the German chancellor.

Sánchez, again isolated in the EU

At the opposite extreme, Pedro Sánchez is the EU leader who has come closest to condemning Trump’s military action: “We reject the unilateral military action of the US and Israelwhich represents an escalation and contributes to a more uncertain and hostile international order.

“We also reject the actions of the Iranian regime and the Revolutionary Guard. We cannot afford another prolonged and devastating war in the Middle East,” the President of the Government wrote this Saturday.

“The voice of the EU at this moment has to be a voice that balances, that is right, that speaks of detente, that speaks of de-escalation and that speaks of diplomacy and negotiation,” the minister defended this Sunday. Jose Manuel Albareswhich maintains that the military intervention of the US and Israel “does not fit within the charter of the United Nations and international law.”

Both Von der Leyen and the president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola This Sunday they celebrated the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at the hands of the US. “With Khamenei gone, new hope opens up for the Iranian people. We must ensure that the future is in their hands and that they can decide and build it,” said the President of the Commission, that appeals to a “credible transition“.

Although the EU maintains a harsh sanctions regime against Iran – for its repression of human rights, its nuclear and ballistic missile program and the supply of drones to Russia for its war of aggression against Ukraine -, Until now, Brussels had always insisted that regime change was not part of its strategy.

Indeed, Europeans have boasted for years about the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran as one of the greatest achievements of their diplomacy. An agreement that Trump dismantled as soon as he arrived at the White House in his first term for the simple fact that it had been negotiated by Barack Obama.

British Defense Minister John Healey has reported that Iran has fired two missiles at British military bases in Cyprusa country that holds the rotating presidency of the EU and will host a summit of leaders of the 27 in April. But neither the EU nor NATO have at any time referred to this attack.

“In relation to the statements and media news regarding the launch of missiles into Cyprusit is clarified that this is not the case and there is no indication that any threat to the country has occurred. “The competent authorities are closely and continuously monitoring the situation,” said a spokesperson for the Nicosia Government.

The Atlantic Alliance remains on alert and is prepared to defend all its members from possible threats, such as ballistic missiles or drones, as reported in a statement – a gesture that, in essence, once again reveals the total irrelevance of the EU in the war in Iran.

Dmitry Orlov

The Zionist Pedophile attack against Iran is on its fifth day and in spite of the usual fog of war it is now possible to make some remarks and perhaps even to draw some tentative conclusions.

1. Almost the first act of the Judeo-Pedophile coalition was a ritualistic virgin sacrifice to their god Baphomet. To this end, they bombed a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, killing 171 girls and 14 of their teachers and wounding 95. They are burying them today. This was neither an error nor an accident but a human sacrifice: torturing and killing children is what these people do. Oh, and then there’s the cannibalism — let’s not forget that. The Judeo-Pedophiles were probably disappointed that they couldn’t eat some of these girls.

2. Also almost the first act of the Judeo-Pedophile coalition was to assassinate Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, who had served as the supreme leader of Iran (rahbar) since 1989, together with some of his family. The rahbar was old and in poor health. He could have hidden in a bunker but didn’t do so, choosing to die as a martyr, making a solid case for revenge against the Judeo-Pedophiles among the more than 300 million Shia Moslems who were his followers. In October 2003, Khamenei issued an oral fatwa that forbade the production and use of any form of weapon of mass destruction.

His successor is quite unlikely to do the same and Iran could have some number of nuclear devices assembled within weeks if not days. Thus, if the Judeo-Pedophiles intended to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear deterrent against their future attacks, they have succeeded in doing the exact opposite. This made this assassination an act of extreme stupidity — as should be expected from the fact that Pete Hegseth, who heads the Pedo War Department, is a very stupid man, his mental primitivism clearly reflected in his facial features

3. In its counterstrikes against Zionist and Pedophile locations, the Iranians demonstrated a number of very significant advancements in the military arts. First, they showed that the Zio-Pedos lack any meaningful deterrent against their numerous rockets and drones. The Zio-Pedo air defense batteries are quickly becoming depleted. Meanwhile, Iran’s inventory of rockets and drones is quite far from depleted. It isn’t known for how long they can continue their barrages: whether it’s for weeks, months or a year or more. Also, if their supplies of drones or rockets run low, Russia and China would be more than willing to replenish them, just as the Pedos have been replenishing to supplies of the Ukrainian Nazis. If the Pedos can use the Ukie Nazis as a proxy, what’s to stop Russia and China from doing the same with Iran?

4. Ignoring any imaginary “red lines”, the Iranians have struck any Pedo location wherever it may be. Any country foolish enough to allow their military bases on its soil has been declared to be a legitimate target. Even RAF Akrotri on the island of Cyprus has been struck. This has demonstrated to the entire world that all Pedophile security guarantees are completely worthless. This has also paved a way to effortless anti-Pedo escalation. Already, the Houthis of Yemen have joined the fray. The fact that Saudi Arabia’s largest oil refinery at Ras Tanura is on fire is probably their work, since this is traditional behavior for the Houthis, while the Iranians did not accept responsibility for this attack. All Pedo locations anywhere in the world are now targets for those wishing to avenge the murder of Ali Khamenei and the sacrifice of 100+ Iranian virgins at the altar of Baphomet.

5. For the second time, the Pedos pretended to be negotiating in good faith with the Iranians, who were offering significant concessions, right before attacking them. The previous time this happened, during last year’s Dozen Day War, they assassinated the entire Iranian negotiating team. In doing this, they demonstrated that negotiating with them is worse than a waste of effort. This begs the question whether the Russians will continue negotiating with the Pedos concerning an ever-so-elusive Ukraine “peace deal”.

The answer to this question is that it doesn’t matter whether they do or not because the Russians are not negotiating — they are simply restating their non-negotiable demands as the situation on the battlefield progresses. These have gone from demanding  freedom for Crimea and autonomy for Donbas to demanding that Donbas, Zaporozhye and Kherson be recognized as part of Russia. Their future demands may include Nikolaev, Odessa, Kharkov and Sumy; then add Kiev; and so on. The Russians simply use the high-exposure international platform of international “negotiations” to broadcast their demands and show that they have an up-to-date peace proposal at all times.

The meetings they attend have nothing to do with diplomacy since the real estate shyster Witkoff is not a diplomat and Trump’s son in law is just there for the free lunch. The Russians have chosen the perfect moneybag whisperer by the name of Kirill Dmitriev to keep them company and try to sell them a bridge or two. The Russians may continue to do the same while their Special Military Operation continues until the Ukraine capitulates, or collapses into civil war, or, best off all, does both at the same time.

6. Another question often pondered is whether the Zionists will resort to the use of their nuclear weapons, which they are generally assumed to have plenty of. These weapons have been basking in their own ionizing radiation since 1966-67, when they were built, making them about as reliable as the rest of the Pedo nuclear stockpile — not at all that is.

In comparison, the Russians have successfully tested their nuclear charges at the end of their rated useful life and when they reach that point they are dismantled and replaced with fresh ones. Freshness is very important when it comes to nuclear bombs! Thus, the Zionists may succeed in making an embarrassing radioactive mess while an impressive nuclear kaboom proves elusive. But if they do succeed, then roughly half the world would be quite likely to decide that it’s time for demilitarization and denazification of the Zionists regardless of the resulting level of radiation.

7. The conflict so far has shown that Pedo aircraft carriers may be big but they scare easily. Just a few Iranian ballistic missiles lobbed at one of them have convinced it to set sail in the general direction of Antarctica, putting its on-deck aviation out of range of the theater of operations even with lots of mid-air refueling. The other Pedo aircraft carrier that’s been lurking nearby is perpetually plagued by faulty toilets, leaving a wake of stink wherever it sails.

The Pedos have some other ships in the area but once these have shot their load of Tomahawk cruise missiles they have to sail all the way to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean to load new ones: three days each way plus some time at the port. And while the Tomahawks are not yet in short supply, air defense rockets already are. To sum it up, the Pedo army is no longer the best in the world, its leader’s protestations notwithstanding.

It’s too early to tell but my feeling right now is that the Zio-Pedos may have had a plan at the outset of their attack on Iran but that they don’t have a plan any more and that there is a whole lot of yelling and finger pointing coming right up.
