🆕 | The debate on European nuclear deterrence has intensified, with NATO allies balancing three key aims. They will need to cooperate more deeply to craft a coherent strategy for confronting new threats, argue @sophiabesch.bsky.social & @jamiekwong.bsky.social. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strat...

Can South Korea afford the many costs of nuclear-powered submarines? My latest for @foreignpolicy.com: foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/19/t...

President Trump’s directive to test nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” caused widespread alarm. But is the U.S. actually about to start testing nuclear weapons again? The reality of the situation is a bit murkier than it may seem. @jamiekwong.bsky.social explains.

Vacancies in forecast offices elevate risks to the safety of local communities (which should be the top priority)… But from a nuclear perspective they also reveal major blind spots in regions hosting U.S. ICBM silo fields that are prone to flooding, making this a national security concern too.

If you're at PrepCom next week, we've got a side event for you! Join us on Monday 28 April at 13:00 – 14:30 in Conference Room A, UNHQ for an event on Safeguarding the nuclear order: what next for arms control? We are joined by @jamiekwong.bsky.social, @jluisrodriguez.com and Łukasz Kulesa.

In my latest for @carnegieendowment.org, I outline why Iran may leverage the threat of NPT withdrawal as a bargaining strategy for achieving its aims - and what the international community can do to prevent it. Check it out 👇 carnegieendowment.org/research/202...

Iran has little room to negotiate in upcoming nuclear talks. It may see NPT withdrawal as its strongest card, writes @carnegienpp.bsky.social ’s @jamiekwong.bsky.social – which would be extremely dangerous. How can the international community keep Iran in the NPT? Jamie’s latest:

Really enjoyed speaking with @gbrumfiel.bsky.social about nuclear tests, subcritical experiments, and our trips to the Nevada desert. Check out his article for a great and super informative read!

Really enjoyed sitting down with Angela Kellett to chat all things climate-nuclear. Thanks for having me @ploughshares.bsky.social!

Yesterday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi threatened to withdraw from the NPT if the E3 triggers the JCPOA snapback. What does this mean and what can states do about it? @jamiekwong.bsky.social and I have some ideas in @warontherocks.bsky.social warontherocks.com/2024/11/will...
