The first soap recipe was written 5,000 years ago.

The Islamic Golden Age perfected it.

A doctor in 1847 proved it could stop disease from spreading - and watched mortality rates in his hospital drop by 90% after a single change: washing hands.

Nobody believed any of them.

The history of soap is not a story about cleanliness.

It's a story about how long it takes a civilization to accept a truth it finds inconvenient.

Ancient Babylon had soap in 2800 BC - and used it to clean wool, not bodies.

Rome built the greatest public hygiene system in history, then collapsed, and Europe forgot everything.

While the Black Death killed a third of the continent's population, chemists in the Islamic Golden Age were perfecting soap formulas that would eventually save the Western world.

Crusaders brought that knowledge back to Europe - and European governments taxed it as a luxury for the next five centuries.

Then came Ignaz Semmelweis.

A Hungarian doctor who discovered that doctors were infecting patients by not washing their hands between autopsies and deliveries.

He proved it with data.

Mortality rates dropped from 18% to 2%.

The medical establishment called him a lunatic and committed him to an asylum.

He died there - at 47.

19 years later, Louis Pasteur proved germ theory.

The world finally believed it.

Then came the Industrial Revolution.

Then Lever Brothers.

Then a bar of soap in every American soldier's kit.

The truth about soap was always there.

The world just kept refusing to see it.

• IRGC and U;S; Clash over Strait of Hormuz control as talks face deadlock

• VP Vance met Islamic Republic representatives directly for the first time

• Hezbollah in Lebanon launch more rockets towards Israel despite calls for deescalation

Today’s events:

15:00 ET Multiple rounds of ceasefire talks
16:39 ET Hezbollah mobilize members again
17:15 ET Uganda ready to join war to back Israel
18:00 ET IRGC split grows as more reps arrive

Fox News reported on April 6th, citing CENTCOM sources, that US B-2 Spirit stealth bombers struck and obliterated an underground IRGC headquarters near Tehran using Massive Ordnance Penetrators during the same operational window in which SEAL Team 6 was extracting the downed F-15E weapons systems officer from the Zagros Mountains.

The 30,000-pound bunker busters, the largest conventional weapons in the American arsenal, were dropped on a buried command node while hundreds of special operations troops were simultaneously fighting their way out of Iran with a wounded colonel.

The rescue and the decapitation strike ran concurrently.

The operators saving one American life and the bombers destroying an enemy headquarters were executing under the same CENTCOM directive, issued by Admiral Brad Cooper, during the same 48-hour window.

This is not how wars have been fought before…

The rescue involved CIA deception, Israeli intelligence, deliberate aircraft self-destruction, second-wave extraction under fire, and zero casualties.

Layered on top, B-2s at 40,000 feet delivered ordnance designed to collapse reinforced underground structures.

The rescue was the story the President wanted to tell.

The B-2 strike was the story the Pentagon wanted Iran to hear.

Hours later, the President Trump went live from the White House.

He called the rescue “an Easter Miracle.”

He revealed that both crew members were extracted, not one: the pilot first, on Friday, in broad daylight, over seven hours of Iranian airspace, kept secret to protect the WSO still on the ground.

“We got two, but couldn’t talk about the first in that it would have highlighted that there was a second.”

The WSO’s first words after ejection, according to a defense official speaking to Axios, were

“God is good.”

Defense Secretary Hegseth reposted those words.

Treasury Secretary Bessent called it “the greatest search and rescue mission in military history.”

Then the President pivoted…

“The war is ending soon within weeks.”

Iran’s “new regime leader” has asked for a ceasefire, which he would consider only after Hormuz reopens.

Trump reiterated:

“We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks and bring them back to the Stone Ages.”

He told The Hill he would not rule out ground troops.

He told Fox he is “considering blowing everything up and taking over the oil.”

He told ABC:

“I have no idea with these people. There could be a deal, and there could also not be a deal.”

He told the Journal that without compliance by Tuesday, destruction of Iran’s grid will take “20 years to rebuild, if they’re lucky.”

The 1 pm update produced no deal, no ceasefire, no new policy.

It produced a president oscillating

• between miracle and annihilation in the same sentence, between “ending soon” and “Stone Ages” in the same breath,

• between cautious optimism about a deal and honest admission that he has “no idea” whether the adversary will accept one.

13 American service members have been killed in Operation Epic Fury.

365 have been wounded.

One colonel was pulled from a mountain while bombers obliterated the command structure of the organization that put him there.

And the 24 hours between now and Power Plant Day is the interval in which Iran decides whether the man who called the rescue a miracle or the man who promised the Stone Ages is the one making the next decision.

The B-2s have already answered.

The strait has not.

On April 11, 2026, US Central Command announced that two US destroyers - USS Frank E Peterson (DDG-121) and USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) - transited the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf.

This is part of a broader mission to ensure that the Strait is fully clear of sea mines and reopen the Internationally recognized channel between Oman and Iran, vice the one that is controlled by Iran and the IRGC.

This coincided with the opening of talks between the US and Iran in Pakistan.

We also discuss the rerouting of empty Very Large Crude Carriers to loading ports outside of the Persian Gulf.

In comparison, Israel is the size of New Jerey…

Strait of Hormuz is Not Why

We don’t need their oil, less than 1% of the oil that goes through the Strait of Hormuz arrives in the U.S.

Globally, Europe receives 14% of their oil through the Strait while Asia receives 80% of their oil through the Strait.

Our reason for being in Iran makes any geographical stronghold or chokepoint susceptible to our present there.

Remember Their Adamancy About Growing Their Enriched Uranium Inventory?

They said they were only enriching their supply of uranium for producing electricity… as most are unfamiliar with this process, here’s an overview of the process .

This post is to help you understand how the process has allowed Khomeini gain weapon-grade uranium as well as he should have been stopped in the first place - he wasn’t as too many Leftists thought it would be unnecessary at that we should take the Khomeini’s word [have you ever seen a Leftist’s or globalist display wisdom and discernment?]

The process of making uranium usable for nuclear power or for nuclear bombs is the same.

It begins with mining uranium ore from the earth (major global suppliers include but are not limited to Kazakhstan, Canada, Australia, and Namibia).

In the Middle East, Iran is believed to possess large reserves of uranium in various locations, including Bandar Abbas, Yazd, North Khorasan, and Iranian Azerbaijan.

Now, naturally occurring uranium primarily consists of two isotopes: uranium-238 (about 99.3%) and uranium-235 (about 0.7%).

Uranium-235 is the key isotope for nuclear reactions, as it is fissile, meaning it can sustain a chain reaction.

To increase the concentration of uranium-235, the uranium undergoes a process called enrichment.

Before enrichment, the mined uranium, often in a powder form known as yellowcake (U3O8), is chemically processed and converted into uranium hexafluoride gas.

What Is Uranium Enrichment?

Uranium enrichment is a critical step that increases the proportion of uranium-235.

This is typically achieved using high-speed centrifuges, which separate the isotopes based on their mass.

Achieving this higher level of enrichment, often referred to as weapons-grade uranium, requires significantly more effort and specialized technology.

How Much Weapon-Grade Uranium Did Iran Have?

In May 2019, Iranian leaders announced an intention to increase uranium production by 400%.

While Iranian scientists claim the capability to build a nuclear bomb, they state their program is for peaceful energy purposes, aiming to meet domestic energy needs and allow for oil export.

The United Nations Nuclear Watchdog Agency reported in June 2025 that nearly 900 pounds of Iran’s enriched uranium were unaccounted for, which is enough for approximately 10 nuclear bombs.

This material was last known to be in an underground facility in Isfahan, which was heavily bombed in March 2026 (the uranium was blown apart but still at 60%, it will be collected by U.S. troops once the IRGC has been eliminated).

A critical mass of 14 to 40 kilograms (30 to 80 lbs) of 90% to 95% enriched uranium is needed for a nuclear bomb, depending on the power of the bomb desired…

As of June 2025, per the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iran had processed 440 kg of Uranium (almost 1/2 ton) to a grade of 60% and getting from 60 to 90% takes only 12-14 days, 90% being the grade needed for a nuclear bomb.

As Khomeini’s history shows full evidence Iran will always go for the jugular, they had enough for 11 nuclear bombs.

How Was Iran Going To Deliver Nuclear Warheads?

Missiles, of course, and until last week, it was widely thought their maximum reach was 1,250 miles.

This map displays cities within 1,000 miles…

Iran recently fired intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-U.K. military base in the Indian Ocean.

Meaning, the missiles Iran used were capable of at least reaching 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) from Iran.

This capability meant that missiles launched from Tehran could potentially reach major cities in Western Europe and parts of Scandinavia such as, but are not limited to, London, Paris, and Berlin.

This range also extends to parts of North and East Africa, such as Kenya and Ethiopia, and South Asian countries like Bangladesh and India, and even parts of China.

Washington D.C. and NYC are more than 6000 miles from Iran - that doesn’t mean we are safe from Iran, there are sleeper cells all over our country thanks to both Obama and Biden (the known sleeper cells are being tracked, how may more there are is still being pursued - dirty bomb anyone?).

This event marked an escalation in Iran’s military capabilities and and affirmed the suspicions of the U.S. government and the world, highlighting previously undisclosed missile technology.

While Iranian officials have sometimes denied launching these missiles or suggested they were launched by Israel, reports from various news outlets and statements from military officials confirm the launches.

Some military experts and observers agree that Iran has successfully launched long-range missiles, despite skepticism about the regime’s overall credibility.

The launch of these missiles demonstrates Iran’s ability to develop longer-range missile technology, potentially building on their successes in launching satellites into space.

The missile used in the strike on Diego Garcia was possibly a modified version of the Khorramshahr ballistic missile, or a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile.

The Khorramshahr-4/Kheibar, which debuted in 2023, was previously said to have a maximum range of 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles), but the possibility of a longer reach has been raised.

Iranian officials have stated that they have reduced the missile’s size from its initial version, which also reduced its propellant mass and range (question - when has any sovereignty as aggressive as Iran reduce their destructive capabilities? Yeah, THAT).

However, some theories suggest that Iran might be underestimating the missile’s range to avoid raising concerns in Europe about their missile program.

Iran has also unveiled other hypersonic ballistic missiles like the Fattah-1 and Fattah-2, with the Fattah-1 having a claimed range of 1,400 km (870 miles) and the Khorramshahr-4 having an approximate range of 2,000 km (1240 miles).

Iran Was Within 2 Weeks of Starting a Nuclear War - Thereby the World as Well

If Israel was attacked by Iran with a nuclear warhead, then they would have no choice - no matter what the U.N., NATO or the EU says - but to retaliate in equal or greater force; and without a doubt Iran would send more nuclear warheads into Israel with Israel replying in kind.

Needless to say, the U.S. would definitely become involved, assisting Israel and destroying Iran even more so than we have now.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that the human carnage of such an would be staggering - and the effects lasting several decades.

That alone would kick off a fiasco history has never seen - nor do we ever want to see.

There are many who will say it would only occur in the reach of Iran - they said the same thing about WWI and WWII.

Any war that has a effects, especially a war event that accomplishes wide devastation in short order immediately puts ALL nations on high alert and in a very strong defensive posture.

Not all leaders nor military react the same - but all, especially should their be a nuclear warhead being set off anywhere, nations will act with impunty and as full a force as they can deliver.

As of early 2026, NINE countries possess nuclear weapons…

• United States

• Russia

• China

• France

• India

• Israel

• North Korea

• Pakistan

• U.K.

The combined global inventory of nuclear warheads is approximately 12,187 to 13,080.

The United States and Russia together possess the majority of these weapons, holding about 86% of the world’s total inventory and 83% of the stockpiled warheads available for military use.

While the total number of nuclear weapons has decreased from a peak of over 70,000 during the Cold War in the mid-1980s, the number of operational nuclear weapons ready for use has been steadily increasing.

Unanswered Questions

Has Iran shared their uranium stock and/or technology with other Muslim countries?

There is no explicit information indicating that Iran has shared its uranium stock or nuclear technology with other Muslim countries.

While the documents detail Iran’s advancements in uranium enrichment and its nuclear program, including the accumulation of enriched uranium and the development of centrifuges, there is no mention of these materials or technologies being transferred to other nations.

Instead, the focus is on Iran’s internal program and its interactions with international bodies and other major powers regarding its nuclear activities.

It is known that Iran itself has received assistance and technology from various countries, including China, Russia, and Pakistan, for its nuclear program.

For example, China is believed to have been the source of Saghand mining technology, and Russia has expressed readiness to support Iran’s nuclear program.

However, these instances describe Iran as a recipient of nuclear assistance, not a provider to other Muslim countries.

The documents also mention that some Arab countries, such as Egypt, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia, have expressed interest in acquiring nuclear technology in response to Iran’s program, but there is no information about Iran directly supplying them.

Does Iran have even more powerful missiles in their arsenal?

Regarding missile technology,Iran has been focused on building nuclear warheads and while improving missiles has remained a second priority.

For this, Iran has been dependent upon their connections with Russia, North Korea, and China for years.

So, Why are We in Iran?

If you still are clueless as to why, reread all this until you do know why…

If you still are clueless, well, let us know and we will start praying for you…

The fragile US-Iran ceasefire is already cracking over the Strait of Hormuz, with shipping at a standstill and Iran imposing tolls and restrictions.

Here’s the latest on the crisis and exactly how American airpower and naval forces could reopen the critical choke point if needed.

During departure to Virginia, President Trump spoke to reporters at a gaggle where he ended all the lies about the Strait of Hormuz and Iran negotiations.

VP JD Vance is in Pakistan for talks with the Iranians.

Later, Eric speaks with John Zmirak about Baptist Press, Christian morality in public life, the lie of secular neutrality, and why America’s founding was rooted in truths far deeper than modern leftist institutions want to admit.

Centcom Commander General McKenzie

General Kenneth F. “Frank” McKenzie Jr. is a retired four-star U.S. Marine Corps general who served as the 14th Commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) from March 28, 2019, to April 1, 2022.

During his 42-year career in the Marine Corps, he commanded at various levels, including platoon, company, battalion, Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), and component levels.

He led the 22nd MEU on combat deployments to Afghanistan in 2004 and Iraq in 2005-2006.

McKenzie also served as Military Secretary to two Commandants of the Marine Corps and as the Marine Corps Representative to the Quadrennial Defense Review.

His general officer posts included deputy director of Operations for the National Military Command Center in the Pentagon and Director of the Joint Staff from July 5, 2017.

As the CENTCOM commander, McKenzie oversaw significant military operations, including the special forces raid in Syria to kill or capture Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October 2019, and the 2020–2021 withdrawals and reductions of U.S. troops.

He retired from active duty on April 1, 2022, when he relinquished command of CENTCOM to General Michael Kurilla.

Since his retirement, McKenzie has served as the Executive Director of the Global and National Security Institute and Cyber Florida at the University of South Florida.

He is also slated to become the 21st President of The Citadel, his alma mater, starting in July 2026.

In April 2026, retired General Frank McKenzie, a former commander of U.S. Central Command, provided analysis on a search-and-rescue mission for a missing U.S. airman in Iran, describing it as a “hard lesson for Iran.”

He noted that the U.S. military has detailed plans for such missions when aircrews operate over enemy territory.

McKenzie also stated that for many years, the U.S. military has considered options for ground raids, including seizing islands and small bases, along the southern coast of Iran, which are typically operations with a planned withdrawal.

Naturally the global media focus has been saturated coverage of all things Iran and true to form, other than Fox News in the USA and GBNews and TalkTV in the UK, most news channels are reporting from their slanted agenda demonizing Trump and Netanyahu. Everything Trump does is fair game for the “news channels” who suffer from TDS—Trump Derangement Syndrome. The BBC, CNN, Sky News, and others cannot move away from their left-wing fascist bias and recently have doubled down on their mockery and loathing for Trump and of course the Jewish State of Israel.

So used have we become to the constant vomit spewed by these media outlets that we accept it as the norm without challenge and so, many of us have now severed the ties we had for decades to legacy media, either totally ignoring and, or watching and listening to right of center influencers for our news flow.

One cannot help but note that most of the medias so called “let’s go to” experts interviewed for commentary detest both Trump and Netanyahu. Consequently, millions have stopped paying the license fee demanded by government to fund the BBC as frustration and rising blood pressure takes hold. One would hope that numerous individuals for similar reasons will stop paying for Sky News, but probably not until the football season is over.

Lost in the Iran conflict has been two remarkable foreign policy achievements strengthening the economic, political, and military position of the USA and dramatically weakening those same positions of both Russia and China. All this under Donald J. Trump and such triumphs have been ignored.

Let’s analyses both these truths for consideration. …

Sweden and Russia have a long and often hostile history, characterized by centuries of conflict and territorial disputes, with this rivalry shaping Sweden’s perception of Russia as a persistent threat in the Baltic region.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, Sweden was a significant European power that controlled Finland and parts of what are now Norway, the Baltics, and Germany, leading to conflicts with Russia as both sought influence in the Baltic Sea region.

Russia gained significant Swedish territory after Peter the Great initiated a war in the early 18th century, and later, the Russo-Swedish Wars of 1788-1809 further solidified Russian gains, including eastern provinces that would become part of Finland.

For much of the 17th century, Swedish control over the Baltic coast, including Ingria and Karelia, effectively landlocked Russia, leaving it with only the port of Archangel, which was frozen for half the year.

Russia’s strategic priorities traditionally focused more on the West than Asia.

Relations between Sweden and Russia have deteriorated significantly in recent years, particularly following Russia’s actions in Ukraine.

In 2018, Russia’s ambassador to Sweden criticized the Swedish Prime Minister for identifying Russia as the biggest threat without evidence, highlighting a tense relationship that had been strained for several years due to Sweden’s support for Ukraine’s closer ties with the European Union.

In 2023, Sweden expelled 5 Russian embassy officials, leading Russia to respond by expelling 5 Swedish diplomats and closing Sweden’s Consulate-General in St. Petersburg.

These actions confirm the negative political developments in Russia and its international isolation.

Sweden’s domestic intelligence agency has identified Russia as the primary threat to Sweden’s security, stating it is the only country in Sweden’s vicinity to pose a military threat and accusing Russia of using the Russian Orthodox Church for hybrid warfare operations, including espionage and influence activities.

Russia’s ambassador has dismissed these accusations as “ridiculous.”

The decision by Sweden and Finland to join NATO marks a significant shift from their long-standing neutrality, driven by heightened security concerns following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine (NATO has been ever-creeping its presence towards Russia for years despite oral agreements between NATO and Russia to keep a buffer of non-member countries around Russia, mostly for national security).

This move ended over 200 years of military non-alignment for Sweden. Russian President Putin’s actions are seen as a direct catalyst for this change, as his efforts to deter NATO’s influence ultimately led to its expansion.

Russia has responded with threats, including the potential deployment of nuclear weapons in the Baltic Sea and cutting off electricity to Finland.

In 2025, Finland and Sweden signed a new defense pact to enhance their security against Russian aggression, focusing on interoperability and joint action, with Sweden assuming a leadership role in NATO’s forward-looking ground force.

Russian bombers have also operated close to Swedish airspace, leading to discussions in Sweden about scaling up its defenses, including acquiring more Gripen aircraft, submarines, anti-aircraft missiles, and deploying troops to Gotland.

Sweden’s mythical Gungnir missile, named after Odin’s Magical Spear, has officially appeared in Ukraine and changed the battlefield in the Black Sea.

Used alongside drones, it helped destroy Russia’s Syvash oil platform, a key surveillance and electronic warfare hub protecting Crimea.

This strike shows Ukraine’s growing Western firepower and precision coordination.

Russia’s defenses are being dismantled piece by piece as new weapons arrive.

What happens next could reshape the entire war.

Stay tuned for escalation.

Not Mentioned In This Video

Sweden is both a NATO and EU member - both are also crumbling.

This needs to be factored into future event as once either crumbles, especially NATO who no longer has U.S. support, then Putin does not need to be concerned about retaliation from member States (and mistly not from the U.S. as well).

At that point, the entire game between Russia and Sweden shifts drastically.
