Important Takeaways:
- Smoldering Iran nuclear crisis risks catching fire
- The threat, made last year in a previously unreported letter sent by the countries’ foreign ministers, underscores Western fears that Iran could produce bomb-grade uranium of 90% purity.
- Those concerns intensified in February after U.N. inspectors revealed their discovery of uranium particles of 83.7% purity at an Iran nuclear facility built deep underground to protect it from air strikes.
- A renewed crisis over Iran would come at a bad time for U.S. President Joe Biden who is focused on maintaining allies’ support for the war in Ukraine and on rallying Western countries to push back on China’s military and diplomatic ambitions.
- But while some White House aides may prefer to keep Iran off the president’s desk, officials and analysts suggested they may not have that luxury.
- ‘FACE A CRISIS AT SOME POINT’
- Deterrence has a downside: it could give Tehran time to creep toward a nuclear weapons capability.
- Dennis Ross, a veteran U.S. diplomat now at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy think tank, suggested Biden may have to do more to make Iran fear the consequences of enriching to higher levels.
- “If you don’t do enough to persuade the Iranians of the risks they are running, you will face a crisis at some point because they will go to 90%” or move toward weaponization, he said. “What you are seeing is an effort to walk that tightrope.”

Important Takeaways:
- China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are investing in ways to nuke us. The time is now for missile defense
- Today, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran continue to invest in technologies to expand their capabilities to hit the United States with nuclear weapons. All four countries have also escalated their threatening rhetoric, indicating their willingness to use nuclear weapons in a military conflict. By expanding their nuclear programs, each has made clear that our nuclear arsenal is no longer a deterrent to their potential use of nuclear weapons.
- If deterrence is dead, then the concept of mutually assured destruction is obsolete and comprehensive missile defense must be revisited as an essential capability to protect our citizens.
- In April 2020, Iran successfully launched its first military satellite into orbit. This was a demonstration of Tehran’s advancing capabilities signaling their continued efforts to develop an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that can transverse the Atlantic to reach our shores.
- In the Pacific, North Korea continues to expand its missile program and has unveiled several new ICBM and anti-ship missiles in recent years, conducting over 90 launches in 2022 alone.
- Recent assessments indicate the Russians have stockpiled up to 2,000 tactical nuclear weapons.
- Russia’s ICBM force consists of 310 missiles that can carry upwards of 1,189 warheads.
- China, however, poses the greatest threat. According to Pentagon analysis, the Chinese Communist Party will likely have a stockpile of nearly 1,500 warheads by 2035 if it continues with its current nuclear buildout and now has more ICBM launchers than the United States. China is also developing a land-attack cruise missile designed to be fired from a launcher disguised as a commercial shipping container.
- We only have ourselves to blame

Important Takeaways:
- Defense Minister Yoav Gallant revealed on Thursday that Iran currently has enough enriched uranium for five nuclear weapons, should it decide to weaponize that uranium and complete the detonation and delivery tasks for firing a weapon.
- “Iran is not sufficing with one nuclear bomb. It has already accumulated enough enriched uranium at the 20% and 60% levels for five nuclear bombs,” the defense minister told his hosts during a visit to Greece.
- Recently a top US defense official said that Iran could weaponize the uranium in less than two weeks.
- The Mossad unveiled significant aspects of the weapons group when it seized Iran’s nuclear archives in 2018.
- That spy mission also established in Iranian documents that its goal had always been a minimum of a five-nuclear weapon arsenal, which it is now closer than ever to achieving.

- Iran’s navy seized a Marshall Island-flagged oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, according to US officials- the latest in a series of seizures amid greater tensions over Tehran’s growing nuclear aspirations.

- The US Navy fleet stationed in that area of the world is now demanding the ship’s immediate release, with it being the fifth commercial vessel unlawfully taken by Tehran in the past two years.
- ‘The Iranian government should immediately release the oil tanker,’ it added.
- Initially, The Navy had said Iran’s paramilitary seized the vessel, but an American naval aircraft shortly thereafter confirmed Iran’s navy captured the ship.

- Iran says forces U.S. submarine to surface in Gulf, U.S. denies
- “The U.S. submarine was approaching while submerged, but the Iranian submarine Fateh detected it and carried out… maneuvers to force it to surface as it went through the Strait (of Hormuz). It had also entered into our territorial waters but … it corrected its course after being warned,” Irani said.
- “This submarine was doing its best, using all its capacities, to pass in total silence and without being detected,” Irani said. “We will certainly reflect to international bodies the fact that it had violated our border.”
- The U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, based in Bahrain, denied what it called Iranian “disinformation”.
- Iranian and U.S. forces have had a number of confrontations in the past. In early April, the Iranian navy said it had identified and warned off a U.S. reconnaissance plane outside the mouth of the Gulf. In 2019, Iran shot down a U.S. drone which it said was flying over southern Iran.
