Facing a potential UN resolution, Iran offered to cap its stockpile of 60% enriched uranium at approximately 185 kg, contingent upon the West dropping the resolution. This offer, viewed by Western diplomats as a delaying tactic, follows a recent IAEA report detailing Iran’s increased uranium enrichment. Despite the offer, the resolution condemning Iran’s lack of cooperation with the IAEA is expected to pass. Iran also agreed to consider allowing more experienced IAEA inspectors access, though not those previously barred.

China’s newest nuclear submarine sinking in dock is certainly a matter of concern and intrigue. It raises questions about the capabilities of China’s naval forces, especially when considering the implications of a high-tech submarine found submerged in a dock. The fact that US officials have confirmed this incident adds a layer of complexity to the situation. The lack of acknowledgment from the Chinese authorities and the absence of any environmental checks for radiation in the water are worrying aspects that come to light.
The idea that advanced submarines, especially nuclear-powered ones, are complex machines is not news to anyone. They require precision engineering, top-notch materials, and meticulous attention to detail to ensure that they function optimally.… Continue reading
Ukraine’s pulling a ballsy move here. They’re not just defending anymore, they’re taking the fight to Russian soil. That’s a game-changer. Putin’s scrambling. When you’ve got Ukrainian forces closing in on a nuclear plant on your turf, that’s not a good look for the “strong man” image. The mayor’s trying to keep it cool, but let’s be real – a “state of emergency” means shit’s getting real. The IAEA’s statement?

They’re basically saying, “Yeah, we’re cool with Ukraine using our weapons in Russia.” That’s a shift.… Continue reading
As I read about the news regarding the US Navy aircraft carrier going head-to-head with the Houthis, one statement from the strike-group commander caught my attention. He mentioned that the carrier’s planes are constantly in the air, ready to combat any threat that may arise. And for me, that seems like a normal and necessary practice in an active war zone.
When you have the risk of enemy fire and the need to protect shipping and suppress firing positions, it’s only logical to have round-the-clock Combat Air Patrol (CAP). This allows for quick strikes and provides extra anti-air protection for a wide area.… Continue reading
