When pressed about the explosion, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt released a statement blaming &#8220;spontaneous combustion due to woke solar flares&#8221; and suggested reporters touch the side of a building to see if it felt warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cblockade\u201d\u2014which military analysts described as \u201cthree pontoon boats and a guy named Kevin with a bullhorn\u201d\u2014was designed to stop Iranian oil exports.
