The situation is escalating dramatically: #Iran has roughly doubled its stockpile of near-bomb-grade #uranium over the past three months as it negotiates with the #Trump administration over a #deal to limit its #nuclear program,according to a report of the #IAEA .Enough for 10 #atomic bombs - which would change the #MiddleEast forever.How much time will #Israel and the #USA ,in cooperation with #SaudiArabia ,give #Khomeini before attacking Iran's nuclear infrastructure?

☹️ I'm sure you noticed a lot of talk from the US about being prepared to defend itself, now I found this

"Project 2025, the blueprint for most of the administration’s initiatives to date, calls for the U.S. to “move to immediate test readiness.” And as suggested by the Bulletin, one pathway for a return to nuclear testing is for Trump “to abandon the pretense that tests are necessary for scientific reasons.”
Hard as it may be to believe today, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, with lesser contributions on the part of France and Great Britain, conducted 499 largely atmospheric and underwater nuclear tests between 1945 and 1963, when the Partial Test Ban Treaty (PTBT) was signed. From 1964 through 1996, it is estimated that a staggering 1,377 nuclear tests were conducted, mostly underground. While the underground tests were considered safer, radioactive gasses were purposefully vented into the atmosphere, and highly toxic substances including plutonium leaked into the ground.

"Ordering the reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission"

"One order mandates that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) fundamentally change its mission to support the absurd and reckless goal of quadrupling of US nuclear energy capacity to 400 gigawatts by 2050—which would, if achieved, add the equivalent of 300 large nuclear plants to the US fleet—by prioritizing speedy licensing over protecting public health and safety from radiation exposure""

Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists · The NRC’s new Mission Impossible: Making Atoms Great AgainPresident Trump has signed executive orders that tranform the Nuclear Regulatory Commission from a nuclear safety agency into a promoter of nuclear power, a Union of Concerned Scientist nuclear expert contends. The orders also encourage the Defense Department and the Energy Department to begin licensing nuclear reactors, which would also have a detrimental impact on safety. As an independent agency, the NRC should reject the executive orders, which negate Congress’ chief rationale for creating the agency—public safety.
