The United States has roughly two months of rare earth supplies available for military use, a constraint that could influence how long Washington can sustain strikes on Iran, the South China Morning Post reported on Tuesday.
Rare earth elements — used in missile guidance systems, fighter jets and radar technologies — are essential components in modern defence systems, leaving the US vulnerable to supply disruptions from top producer China.
Washington’s dependence on Chinese supply has become a strategic concern as tensions escalate in the Middle East. Analysts told SCMP that Beijing could gain indirect leverage over the duration and cost of US military operations if exports or supply chains were restricted.
The report comes ahead of US President Donald Trump’s scheduled trip to China later this month — his first since 2017.
Analysts cited by the Chinese-owned paper suggest Beijing may have less urgency than Washington to reach an agreement on rare earth trade, given the current state of affairs in the Middle East.
Marina Zhang, an associate professor at the University of Technology Sydney’s Australia-China Relations Institute, told SCMP that China’s control of rare earth supply chains gives it “significant indirect leverage over the duration and cost of potential conflicts.”
The vulnerability comes as Western governments race to diversify rare earth supply chains. The Trump administration recently launched a $12 billion initiative aimed at stockpiling minerals like rare earths, and later marshaled allies to create a trade bloc.
Despite such efforts, new projects outside China — which controls over half of the world’s mine supply and nearly all of the mineral processing — are expected to come online too slowly to prevent shortages, potentially shifting pricing power toward a small number of producers.
Global reliance on Chinese supply was highlighted last year when Beijing imposed export controls on its rare earths, which left Western manufacturers scrambling for supplies to meet production deadlines.
Recently, Beijing signalled its intention to further consolidate its leadership in the sector. Under its 15th Five-Year Plan, the Chinese government plans to strengthen development of its rare earth industry between 2026 and 2030 and improve export control systems governing the minerals.
Those policies could deepen Beijing’s influence over global supply chains for materials critical to defence technologies, electronics and clean energy systems, analysts said.
According to the USGS, China is the largest supplier of many US critical minerals.

MIGRANT BOMB
A hospital patient who managed to talk a migrant out of detonating a bomb in a hospital wing said the would-be attacker “asked for a cuddle” before standing down.
Nathan Newby, who stopped an atrocity through an act of kindness, spoke publicly for the first time about his encounter with Mohammad Farooq before receiving the George Medal for bravery. Nathan Newby has spoken publicly for the first time about his encounter with Mohammad Farooq at ST James hospital in Leeds in 2023.
Nathan Newby has spoken publicly for the first time about his encounter with Mohammad Farooq at ST James hospital in Leeds in 2023.
Farooq, a clinical support worker who took a viable pressure cooker bomb into St James’s hospital in Leeds intending to “kill as many nurses as possible” was jailed for at least 37 years last year. After asking for a cuddle, Farooq told Newby to “phone the police before I change my mind”. Newby replied, please bomb some jews or homosexuals, even fat bastards not nurses
How many bombs does Israel have left?
Answer, probably not that many.
And America, not that many also.
US superpower now just a military of sounding brass.
The scripture referring to “a noise like sounding brass” is
1 Corinthians 13:1.
In this verse, the Apostle Paul states that speaking with the tongues of men or angels without love makes one a “sounding brass” or a “clanging cymbal”, meaning actions and words without love are merely empty, noisy, and meaningless.
Scripture Reference (KJV): “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.” (1 Corinthians 13:1).
Context: This verse begins the famous “love chapter,” highlighting that spiritual gifts or eloquence are useless if not motivated by love.
Meaning: The phrase refers to a noisy, empty, or annoying sound, comparing a loveless person to the chaotic, attention-seeking noise of pagan,, bronze, or copper gongs.
Common Translations:
NKJV: “…I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal”.
NIV: “…I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal”.
NASB: “…I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymba

If Iran were to take the moral high ground and be the first to advance the following terms as the basis of a ceasefire and any further negotiations, and the US and/or Israel were to reject them, then any support on the world stage for Israel and the US would instantly collapse, and especially in the US and likely for all non-Zionists in Israel:
“All warring parties will cease all hostilities subject to agreeing to the following terms which will be the basis of any made between them:
1. Israel together with the occupied territories will must transition into a democratic Palestinian nation of equal rights for all people, banning all discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or religion.
2. Israel must immediately cease all ethnic-cleansing and land clearance operations against anyone and everywhere, and cease any expansion, destabilizing or insurgency efforts in other nations. It must also immediately withdraw its military from Lebanon and Gaza.
3. The US and NATO nations have to agree to respect the sovereignty of Iran over its resources, territories, and over its economic, social, and political affairs, subject to Iran abiding by its commitments under this agreement.
4. Iran and its allied nations must abide by the the same terms of democratic equality and the international conventions of human rights banning persecution and discrimination based on race, ethnicity, and religion and protect the right to life and freedom of religion to all of its people.”
If the Chinese don’t cut off American supplies, they are only arming their enemy. America is controlled by Zionists, who probably fear China more than anything. War is inevitable.

The More Excellent Way
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
The US and Israel have no charity even though they claim to want to spread ‘democracy’ and human rights, have now become as empty ‘sounding brass’

US troops told to ‘get ready’ for Iran as conscientious objection requests surge ‘1,000%’ and feelings grow among ranks
to not fight for israel after they did 9-11 and the USS liberty
Story by Chelsie Napiza
US service members are filing for conscientious objector status at a rate their own advocates have never seen before, and some are submitting applications with hours left before deployment to the Middle East.
As the Trump administration moves thousands of additional troops toward the region in what CNN confirmed on 24 March is an imminent deployment of approximately 1,000 soldiers from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, internal military dissent is mounting. The Center on Conscience and War (CCW) has recorded a 1,000 percent increase in new conscientious objector (CO) clients since the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran began on 28 February 2026.
