Beyond that, Mr. Emory rumi­nat­ed about what he has long warned about: “The UFO ‘Op’ ”–“The fly­ing saucers are angels sent by Jesus,” as Bil­ly Gra­ham once intoned.

Dis­cussing the dis­rup­tion to the econ­o­my caused by the war, he not­ed that numer­ous expen­sive radars owned by the U.S. had been destroyed. Accord­ing to a CNN reporter, con­di­tions in Iran were not too ter­ri­bly dis­rupt­ed.

In his third talk, he parsed a long, fright­en­ing arti­cle not­ing that fail­ure to rein­sure tankers tran­sit­ing the gulf might cre­ate severe glob­al eco­nom­ic dis­rup­tion last­ing months. Dis­rup­tion to glob­al fer­til­iz­er sup­plies is among the finan­cial trau­ma atten­dant on the con­flict.

A sig­nif­i­cant amount of Uranium–enough to make sev­er­al atom­ic bombs–is miss­ing, there­by insur­ing that the finan­cial cri­sis would not be resolved any time soon. ” . . . .What makes the cur­rent time­line par­tic­u­lar­ly intractable is the nuclear over­hang. The Inter­na­tion­al Atom­ic Ener­gy Agency con­firmed that 440.9 kilo­grams of six­ty-per­cent enriched ura­ni­um has been unac­count­ed for since June 10, 2024, the last date of human ver­i­fi­ca­tion. Direc­tor Gen­er­al Rafael Grossi stat­ed that the loss of con­ti­nu­ity of knowl­edge needs to be addressed with utmost urgency. This quan­ti­ty is suf­fi­cient for mul­ti­ple nuclear weapons if fur­ther enriched. Regard­less of how the kinet­ic cam­paign resolves, no rein­sur­er will restore Gulf war risk capac­i­ty while near­ly half a met­ric ton of weapons-prox­i­mate ura­ni­um remains unac­count­ed for in a coun­try under­go­ing simul­ta­ne­ous mil­i­tary bom­bard­ment and lead­er­ship suc­ces­sion. . . .” The Invis­i­ble Siege: How Insur­ance Mar­kets, Not Mis­siles, Closed the Strait of Hor­muz
