If anything this tells us one thing. They have custom receipts that can be found online at the custom's import and export section on their website.
The papers clearly doesn't mention how they got here and for who!
They actually said that themselves.12/ https://t.co/SccC1AFHZD

They actually just built a case, assuming that those shipments are for Hezbullah. That's simply it.
And yet again the same name appears again, the millionaire Mr. Mohammed Qasir, the brother of the first martyrdom operation against the IDF in 1982. 13/ https://t.co/rLvF1W8BWO

And yet again they said "was believed". They simply do not have proof nor did the intellegence have proof. That's how things have been since Qasir's name became public.
You'll find his name in every article that connects Hezbullah to a certain Iranain Syrian Hezbullah deal.14/

Qasir got the legacy of being the middle man, and the head of Hezbullah's transportation unit after he was seen with the Iranain president, Syrian president, and Qassem Soleimani. Weird place to sit I've got to say
His work could be true, but there is no proof to connect him.15/ https://t.co/CvytnmRprg

So unless anyone thinks this article is proof of Hezbullah importing ammonium nitrate from Iran with money it got from Iran, I'll move on. 16/
The second article talks about how a Hezbullah bank in Tanzania/Cyprus is connected to the true owner of the ship carrying the 2,750 ton of ammonium nitrate.
I fully covered this in another thread, feel fee to read it. It refuted that claim too: /17 https://news.1rj.ru/str/nauala/4894

🇱🇧 Lebanese News and Updates
Some western reporters are trying to pin the shipment of ammonium nitrate on Hezbullah. The last attempt, by Der Spiegel, is that the true owner of the ship carrying the ammonium nitrate took a loan from Hezbullah connected bank?
Hezbullah's bank?
Hezbullah's bank?
And now I move to the WikiLeaks claim. (Email from 2010 but leaked in 2013)
The WikiLeaks claim, technically not WikiLeaks claiming, is a leaked think tank email by Ben West from Stratfor qouting his sources in Lebanon, that happen to be from 14 March. 18/ https://t.co/5osqMf3NPd

After you read it you'd know that it talks about Hezbullah needing to buy Ammonium nitrate because Syria, who is now trying to control Hezbullah, is not sending / allowing Hezbullah to get any military grade explosives. So now Hezbullah is forced to use unstable explosives. 20/
That's actually a bold claim. And now as we passed 2010 and almost finishing 2020 we know that this claim is unfounded and Syria has no ability or intention or motivate to control Hezbullah. We've seen that clearly and no one claims so. Or do they? 21/
He, and the think tank generally, are basing there assumption on a single article wrote by a fellow Stratfor about the tense relationship between Iran and Hezbullah and how Syria is willing to sell them off and move towards USA and Israel. 22/ https://t.co/WI2kb12HJR

Syria, Hezbollah and Iran: An Alliance in Flux
The media hoopla surrounding the Iranian president's visit to Lebanon prompts us to examine a deeper issue: What are Syria's current intentions toward Hezbollah?
Above you can read the weakly written, secterian, and shallow analysis that was proved wrong as we view the geopolitics of the region today.

Now aside from the wrong assumption that Syria was willing to abandon Iran and Hezbullah, to Israel, especially after what Syria did to help Hezbullah in 2006 and how Syria didn't abandon either to end the Syrian civil war in 2011-2020, let's talk about the email. 24/
As mentioned above it talks about how Syria is blocking Hezbullah's access to C4 and RDX. Yet the same email says Hezbullah is buying huge amounts, with the consent of the Syrian government, of ammonium nitrate from Homs at double the market price. 25/ https://t.co/zgXbIs0D5x
So the questions we ask ourselves are
- Syria is blocking Hezbullah's access to military grade explosives from where?
If we claim they are blocking it from Iran, that's fake as Hezbullah kept moving weapons from Iran to Lebanon from Syria. IDF strikes there are enough proof.26/

- If we claim they are blocking them from the Syrian army depos, that's weird because why would Syria have a monopoly on Hezbullah's access to such material and not simply get it's needs from Iran? 27/
- If we claim that Syria actually has a monopoly, why didn't they block their access to the Syrian markets and denied them access to ammonium nitrate that can be used to make explosives. That's all simply illogical.
Before the next question I've got to ask. 28/

Why do people who talk about this avoid reading about Ammonium nitrate and what it needs to become an explosive and how unstable it is and how it can't be stored in the form of explosive for a long time and is simply not military grenade. Not Hezbullah's standards. 29/
Imagine thinking Hezbullah is stuffing its IEDs and rockets with Ammonium nitarte. It's simply an absurd claim by those who never understood that not all things explode the same and work the same. Imagine comparing RDX and compound B to ammonium nitrate. 30/
