Massive Explosions STRIKE Iran’s Hormuz Strait; Iran LAUNCHES HUGE Missile Attacks
All right, good evening folks. It’s Enforcer Matt and welcome back to another short war video. And today we have more major developments in Iran, Russia, and Ukraine. So let’s jump right into it. This morning, massive explosions have been heard on Iran’s islands in the straight of Hormuz and at the military port of Bondor Abbas, and it’s currently not known who’s responsible, but eyewitnesses report possible military strikes.
Meanwhile, mysterious fires are erupting all over Iran as chaos seems to be returning to the capital city of Tran, which is a very ominous sign, by the way, because the last time we saw this was only a few days before a US air strikes on the Iranian capital. We’re also tracking active missile attacks on the UAE as the military warns they are currently under attack and are activating air defenses to protect their skies from these Iranian missiles.
Meanwhile, in Russia, Ukraine just launched their largest ballistic missile attack on the Russian mainland since the start of the war, striking a massive refinery, a military factory, and several other major targets. So, we have very big news and also some pretty big developments with Iran once again today, and also big news with Russia as well.
So, let’s start with our first major article, which goes to conflict radar. And right now, this is our biggest story of the day. We are currently getting a very big story that apparently two major blasts have been reported on Kashm Island which is right in the straight of Hormuz. And you might notice this is where the Iranian toll booth is currently located to stop and basically frisk the vessels and basically shake them down for money as they’re going through the straight of moose.
So that is it right there where you see that orange dot. That is Kashm Island right here. And that is a very critical island for Iranian control of the straight of moose. And that is where we’ve heard two major blasts just a few hours ago. So, right now, we don’t know exactly who’s behind it. We don’t know if maybe it’s something on the ground exploding or maybe possibly it’s covert air strikes, but eyewitnesses are saying that these are very large explosions and it seems like it could be possible air strikes. Uh, but this is not the only thing we’ve heard of so far, by the way. And moving into our next post here, this one goes to Fitux News and we’re also hearing from Fitux. They’re saying as well that there might have been strikes in southern Iran earlier today and it’s unclear to what extent or who was behind it like we also said ourselves but here is what we currently know.
Apparently a shib daz port was hit earlier today and there was also three major explosions in Bond Abbas which is a very critical Iranian military port and also of course we did hear Kashm Island had explosions as well. So, at this point, it seems a little bit hard to say, but I mean, it sounds to me like it could be strikes.
I mean, this is a pretty wide-ranging series of explosions, and we haven’t heard the US announced strikes. I think they’re denying that right now, but I’m not sure who else it could be. Maybe it could be Israel. Uh, but I mean, this seems like a pretty big deal. So, we’re currently watching that right now.
It could be the resumption of strikes on Iran by the US or Israelis possibly, but we’re just going to have to wait and see. Maybe the UAE decided to respond. That’s possible as well, but I would kind of doubt that one. They’ve been a little bit hesitant the entire time, but we’ll keep an eye on that.
But moving into our next post here, this one is going to go to none other than Open Source Intel. And right here, we see another bad sign for the Iranians. Apparently, those mysterious fires have returned to Iran once again. And we’ve seen apparently a large shopping center in Western or some part of Tran actually.
Apparently, has gone up in a massive fire right here on the outskirts of Tran. And this is a pretty serious one. As you can see in the video we’re about to watch, uh there’s a whole bunch of people that are lurking around outside trying to figure out what’s going on. But these fires were also just what we saw right before air strike started back in February on the Iranian capital of Tran.
So sort of an ominous sign right here to say the least. But let’s take a look at our first video and see the fires ravaging the outskirts of Tran. Let’s take a look.
“So there you can see it. A very large fire on that shopping center right here. And there’s people lurking around all over the place in the video as you can see right outside the facility.”
But this is a very big fire. I’m going to back the video up just a little bit. As you can see, the entire building is engulfed. So, I mean, that was serious. If that was something that was accidental, that was a very strong accidental fire right there. So, that’s our first uh video of this fire. But, we also have a second one here in our next post.
And this one is going to go to none other than Insider Paper. And this is another view of the shopping center in Western Tron. So, let’s take a look at our second video. So, here it is from a second angle right here. As you can see, very large fire. It goes without saying that’s a massive fire right there. But also, you might note another thing as well.
There is another similarity here to what we’re seeing right before possible air strikes begin on Iran. Uh, of course, we did hear before the Iranians were trying to write off all these explosions and fires back in February as gas leaks. They were calling them accidents and they were calling them all kinds of stuff.
they were running cover for the fact that apparently sabotage attempts were taking place inside their country. So, this looks very very similar uh to what we saw back in February. So, this could be an omen that maybe US air strikes are coming soon possibly, but we’ll have to wait and see.
But moving into our next one here, this one’s going to go to open source intel yet again. We’ve also gotten a possible emergency scenario happening with US Air Force aircraft right now over the Persian Gulf because we can see right here in the post it says a US Air Force tanker a KC46A declared an emergency by transmitting code 7700 over the Persian Gulf just a few minutes ago and at this point it’s a few hours ago at this point by the way.
Uh this is the second US Air Force refueling tanker operating over the Persian Gulf uh declaring an emergency in a short period of time. So let me show this to you. By the way, this is a screenshot from Flight Radar 24, by the way. And as you can tell over here in the comments, they were not happy about their logo uh not appearing on this image right here.
But this is from Flight Raider 24, just make that clear. Uh but as you can see though, in the Persian Gulf, that is where this tanker was flying around. And something happened to it. Uh right on the outskirts of the UAE, right here in the middle, there’s a racetrack right in the Persian Gulf. And that’s when it started squawking 7700.
And we’re not sure what happened with these two tankers. It could be that they got fired upon by the Iranians. That seems to be maybe a likely option right now, but uh two malfunctions, I don’t know about two malfunctions happening that close together. That seems a little bit unlikely. Uh so we’re not sure exactly what happened, but it could be some tankers got hit once again by the Iranians.
That could be a possibility, but right now the details are very slim, but we are watching this one very closely. But moving on from this post right here and moving into our next one, this one is going to go to Alex Ward. And also, we can confirm this. Uh, the UAE is currently under a brand new active missile attack from the Iranians. And this is either the second or third major attack that’s occurred on the UAE in just the last 48 hours alone.
So, this is pretty serious. Right now, we’ve seen from the UAE. They say the UAE’s air defenses are currently dealing with missile and drone attacks originating from Iran. And the Ministry of Defense confirms that the sounds heard in scattered areas of the country are a result of the UAE air defense systems intercepting ballistic missiles and cruise missiles as well.
So that’s a very serious situation right here. Uh we did see the other day that explosions were heard in Abu Dhabi and we don’t know exactly what the damage was. The UAE government is currently arresting people for filming inside their own country, which is quite crazy. But apparently there was an explosion there and we believe there was damage.
That’s what we believe right now. So we’ll have to see exactly what’s going on with that. But the UAE is covering up what’s happening. Uh so we’re having to sort of be left guessing at this point exactly how bad the damage is. But moving on from this though, this active attack by Iran on the UAE by the way.
So basically the ceasefire is gone for the most part. Uh moving into our next one. This one goes to Disclosed TV and oh wait a minute, wait a minute. I I said the ceasefire was gone, but actually apparently the ceasefire is not gone. Even though the UAE just got attacked and also Iran just fired missiles at our ships yesterday.
According to the Secretary of War, the ceasefire is not over according to him. So apparently ceasefire does not include the word cease in it anymore apparently. But it’s kind of a strange thing by the way. Uh apparently the US is going to abide by a ceasefire that has been broken by the Iranians already.
Uh, it seems like a little bit of a strange thing right there. So, apparently the ceasefire is still on from what I can gather, but I mean that’s kind of weird. I think most people will agree a ceasefire means all fire has ceased. Uh, but you know, by definition, fire has restarted yet again by the Iranians.
So, I’m not sure what the hell they mean at this point. It’s kind of up for debate. But anyways though, I think Marco is going to be holding a press conference in place of the normal White House press secretary this evening. So, maybe we’ll hear some more details from Marco possibly. That should be quite interesting.
And I think that might be Marco’s uh ninth or tenth job that he’s taken on. By the way, he’s he’s a very busy person working several jobs. But moving into our next one here, this one goes to Fight News. In the meantime though, it looks like there are two destroyers that are popping up on satellite images today and it’s straightforens of satellite imagery coming out of the Middle East.
And this is very unusual to get to see it, but we have seen the two destroyers right here off the coast of the UAE inside the Persian Gulf. And I do want to note something here. Uh this is about the same location that we saw that tanker aircraft that I just covered a few posts back. It was circling in a racetrack and that’s where it started squawking an emergency is right over the area of these destroyers right here, right off the coast of the UAE.
And also I got some more detail as well. Apparently, these ships right here are engaging in air defense activities on behalf of the UAE. And like I said, this is also where that tanker uh had an emergency is right over this area where they’re currently intercepting uh missiles from Iran. So, I mean, it’s up for debate right now about whether or not Iran hit another one of our tankers possibly while it was flying in the air.
Uh it’s unknown right now. That’s a big assumption to make, but we’re going to have to wait and see though because I mean the proximity to the destroyers and the missile activity seems a little bit uh questionable to say the least. So, we’ll have to keep an eye on that. But moving on from this story right here and the very rare look at the destroyers right off the coast, we also have another post here and this one goes to Idre’s Ali.
And this is a very, very big revelation right here. And in fact, it proves one of our predictions 100% accurate. And we got a lot of flack for making this prediction a while back. Apparently, Hegsth and Kain showed a graphic today at a press briefing showing the activity in the region in the straight of Hormuz since the ceasefire began.
And get this, it says on April the 23rd, Iran put more mines in the straight of Hormuz. Now, if you go back and look at our streams and our videos from April 23rd, you will see that we made a prediction and we said that the fast attack boats that went out were likely dropping more mines in the straight of war moves.
“No, that’s not true. you’re just simply saying that because you’re you’re trying to run propaganda.”
We made that prediction and we stuck to it. Uh and now we have confirmation of it. Right here in the graphic, you can see it says right there in the middle on April 23rd, Iran lays more mines in the straight.
So now we have confirmation from the commanders themselves that the straight of Hormuse is mined. And not only mined, but it’s been mined multiple times by the Iranian fast attack boats. And also what this means as well now that we’ve gotten confirmation of that is it is true like we’ve been saying it is going to be extremely difficult for commercial ships to go through the straight unless they go through Iran’s toll booth because there are mines in the straight and that’s confirmed now uh according to the commander information here on the screenshot we’re looking at. So it’s very hard for the commercial ships to go through because they might hit a mine and they might lose their entire ship. So now it’s looking as grim as we were describing it. It is looking that way according to what we got today in the information.
Uh so that is quite a big one. But just had to mention that by the way because we got a lot of flack for that prediction. But now it turns out it has been proven. But moving into our next one here, this one goes to conflict radar. In the meantime, the Iranians are still running at the mouth and they’re running at the mouth quite badly right here.
Uh you know, so let’s see what they’re saying. And apparently the speaker of Iran’s parliament Galabah has said: “The new equation of the straight of form is in the process of being solidified and the security of shipping and energy transit has been jeopardized by the United States and its allies through the violation of the ceasefire and the imposition of a blockade. And of course their evil will diminish. We know full well that the continuation of the status quo is intolerable for America. While we have not yet even begun.”
What a nasty statement by the way. And also, what a propaganda statement right here. This guy’s really something else. Uh, but as you can see here though, he’s blaming the United States for blockading the straight of Hormuz.
Even though the Iranians are the ones violating international law and maritime law by blockading in the first place, they’re blaming the United States. So, this is status quo for this regime right here. It’s a status quo for these lies to come out like this. Uh, but as you can see though, they’re calling the United States evil.
They’re saying that Iran has not even begun yet. So, I mean, talks are not going to be successful. Once again, we’ve been saying that for weeks and now this is more proof of it. It’s coming straight from the Iranians mouths. But moving into our next one here, if you if you don’t believe me yet, like you get this right here. This is a report from Bloomberg.
Apparently, Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Aragi is going to be traveling to Beijing for talks. So, while China is pretending like they’re completely neutral here, and also the US is begging China to help reopen the straight, uh, Iran is going to collude with China right now, and they’re actually going straight to Beijing uh, for talks.
And we don’t know exactly what they’re going to be talking about. It could be procuring more weapons. It could be some type of political interference. We don’t know what it is, but obviously they’re going to meet with their friends in China, and that paints a pretty clear picture that it’s clearly an alliance between Iran and China, and they’re trying to basically tear down the United States economically with the straightfor situation.
And I got to say, folks, I love it when proof, all this proof like this comes out right here. This is quite good. It proves a lot of our arguments we’ve been making so far. So, I’m glad to see it. But with that, though, moving on from all that, we’re moving into our next article here. And we’re moving into some massive news right now coming out of Ukraine and Russia.
And we are seeing some of the longest missile strikes we have ever seen Ukraine conduct on the Russian Federation. And right now Ukraine is going all out. Like I don’t know what’s uh caused this, but Ukraine is going all out with their attacks on the refineries. They’re attacking with flamingo missiles. Uh Russia is getting hammered left and right.
And this is approaching the May 9th victory day parade where Putin is once again making threats to start launching attacks on Keev over this whole situation. So let’s start with our first one right here from Vizigrad 24. And it says right here, Ukrainian long range drones struck the Kurishi oil refinery in the Linenrad region this morning inside of Russia.
And get this, Karishi is one of Russia’s largest refineries with a capacity of almost 400,000 barrels per day. And it accounts for 7% of Russia’s total refining volume. And the refinery is now on fire. Take a look at this. That is the refinery, and it is a massive fire here.
And it looks like it will probably end up spreading like we’ve seen in other areas like two ops and also other cities outside of St. Petersburg. So this is quite a big deal. And this is 7% of Russia’s total refining capabilities right here. So they can’t afford to lose it. But also I hate to be a spoiler right here, but they are probably going to lose us right here.
And for all the people that were saying maybe maybe with these Ukrainian attacks, the Russian entire oil industry might come crashing down, that is starting to look a lot more probable uh than it was just about a week ago. Uh with all these different attacks right here and Russia being largely unable to defend against the missiles and the drones from Ukraine, it’s starting to look a lot more likely that the entire oil industry inside of Russia might end up going under uh because because of these massive attacks. I mean, a country can’t survive, you know, massive percentages like 7% getting taken out on a daily basis. They can’t survive something like that. So, it might push Putin to act more extreme possibly. Or maybe Russia might just start maybe getting angry with Putin for this happening right here. Maybe he might spare some air defense systems from his mansions possibly.
But moving into our next one here, this one goes to Osent Technical. Meanwhile, we caught a wild flock of flamingos making their way into apparently Novo Chabarsk tonight inside of Russia. And but all jokes aside, the Flamingo is a cruise missile. It’s it’s basically like the equivalent or the like I guess you say the clone of a tomahawk missile.
Uh but it’s not as accurate, we’re being told, but you know, the details are a little bit sparse about that. So it’s kind of a guesswork with that. But the Flamingo is a very big, very potent, high yield missile. And the Ukrainians have been lobbing them into into Russia all night last night and also some into the morning even.
Uh but right here in the video we’re about to watch there. We’re going to see one of those flamingos coming in and hitting inside of this Russian city. So let’s take a look.
“So there it is. That is a flamingo head right there. And look how far away the camera is. I mean this they got to be miles away. And look how large that explosion was right there.”
A lot of damage a flamingo can do right there. I guess you can call that an orange flamingo. It doesn’t look like a pink one. So that’s what we got right there. Look at that. A huge hit from that missile in that video. But let’s move on from this one right here and move into another larger hit that Ukraine conducted. And this one goes to woofers.
And right here we see another massive loss. Apparently an FP5 missile impacted with this facility right here, which is the VNIR progress plant inside of Russia. And we believe that this facility right here might have been involved with production of somehow the guidance systems of Russian systems possibly, but we’re not entirely sure just yet.
But it is a military factory though according to what we’ve heard. So, let’s take a look at this video and see the missile impacting right here.
“So, there it goes right there. In fact, it’s a drone. Actually, it’s not a missile. My mistake. Whoa. As you can see right there, a big hit. Shut off every car alarm in town. As you can see, you can hear those aftermarket car alarms chirping away like a bird.”
Uh, but look at that. I mean, that’s a huge hit right there on that on the not the main building, by the way. The main building’s over here on the left, but it apparently hit a supplementary building right there at the front. So, still nonetheless a very big hit and once again probably pretty damaging I’d imagine.
But moving into our next one here, this one’s going to go to Fight Network. Also, by the way, apparently one of these buildings that was hit right here that we’re about to take a look at was apparently an electronic warfare equipment factory in the Chuvash Republic. Uh, and apparently this is one of the largest strikes that Ukraine’s ever conducted with a missile.
And this one was over 900 km from the Ukrainian border. And let’s take a look at our video here. We can see a video of this facility on fire. So, let’s see how bad the missile actually can hit something. Let’s take a look.
“Ay, it looks like Mount Vuvius over here. They got like uh fires everywhere. Look at that. Fires all over the ground. You got fires on the side of the building.”
I’m go ahead and mute this. By the way, they’re playing something in the background. But, as you can see though, look at that. I mean, this whole place is messed up. Fires everywhere, debris everywhere. And allegedly, this facility right here is involved with electronic warfare equipment. So, another big hit.
Ukraine just basically decided to salt and pepper everything last night from the looks of it. So, there’s another big hit. One of the one of the longest range strikes with the flamingo that we’re currently seeing right now. But moving into our last post here, this one goes to max 25.
And this is a very concerning one, by the way, because right now we are seeing a massive threat being lobbed from Russia. Apparently, from May the 5th to the 8th, Russia has closed the airspace over the Capan yard test site for the time being. And some people are going to say: “Well, Matt, it’s just a test site. What are you so worried about?”
Well, here’s the catch. What Russia launches from this test site is ICBMs and IRBM missiles, which can be nuclear capable. So, that’s a very big problem right here. The last time we saw something fired from Capushar, it was a IRBM missile that was launched in Ukraine, and that was the Arrashnik, which at this point, nobody’s really sure works or not, but Russia does have some other ones that do work though.
The reason why I believe this is the case right here, this is a very sneaky threat by Vladimir Putin against Ukraine and specifically against the government of Ukraine, because what this what this probably is all about right here is Ukraine is suggesting they might strike the Victory Day parade inside of Moscow.
And we just saw two attacks on Moscow just over the last 72 hours. And now Putin’s been saying that if Ukraine has the guts to go and strike the Victor Day parade, then they’re going to retaliate on Keev. And now we’re seeing the Capistanard test site have their airspace closed around that same time period.
So to me it seems like a pretty clear threat by Vladimir Putin towards Ukraine. And I think that was the message that’s being sent. Also another thing I want to note, Zalinsky is currently in the Middle East. He is not inside of Ukraine. So I’m not sure if that’s maybe intentional right there that maybe they’re removing him from the danger possibly uh that Russia could retaliate.
I’m not sure if that is intentional. But Zilinski, I believe, is in Bahrain right now. He’s not inside of Ukraine. So, we’re going to watch this one very close. But we could be seeing Russia escalate dramatically possibly, but we’ll have to wait and see. But with that, folks, that is actually our last post of the video.
And with that, bye-bye for now.
