Elected representatives in the US House of Congress have written a letter urging the US government to acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons. Last year, Declassified UK showed that the UK government had exported £9m worth of components for Israeli submarines, believed to be nuclear-capable.

Last week's Scottish election saw the election of even more MSPs from party's opposed to nuclear weapons and nuclear power than ever! ☮️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This was due largely to the surge in support for Scottish Greens, which saw them win a record 15 seats in the Scottish parliament.

Scottish CND quoted in this big story from @theferret.scot:

A nuclear deal with Iran could determine whether further nuclear proliferation in the Middle East can be contained. The 2015 JCPOA deal limited Iran's uranium enrichment in return for sanctions relief, a similar deal to what Tehran seeks in ongoing talks. Read more: https://ow.ly/vN4I50YcNOq

Will the US aim to increase its weapons stockpiles or resume nuclear testing, in contravention of international law? Washington's plan for governing the world's most dangerous weapons remains unclear. More: https://ow.ly/905v50YcL1h

Campaigners suspect fighter jet exercises over RAF bases in Suffolk might be preparation for an attack on Iran, given Lakenheath is a frequent stop-over when US aircraft are on their way to the Middle East. Several more US F35s landed at Lakenheath this week.

The 2011 New START treaty expires on 5th February 2026 - the last remaining bilateral arms treaty between the US and Russia, who between them hold over 85% of the world's nuclear stockpile. Expiry would very likely result in more Russian/US submarine activity in north Atlantic.

DOOMSDAY CLOCK to be revealed at 3pm GMT today by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The clock's time is calculated according to global existential threats, including nuclear weapons, climate change and disruptive technologies. Will the world famous countdown inch closer this year?

Nuclear Testing Milestone: In a world where the international law is being increasingly undermined, we recently reached one important milestone for global security - the longest period without a nuclear explosion since the start of the nuclear age.

Scottish civic organisations have been proud to support the UN nuclear ban treaty throughout its 5 years in force since 2021! This is the most robust legal path towards a world free from nuclear weapons, founded on humanitarian principles and a philosophy of true common security worldwide.

US nuclear waste stored in the Marshall Islands' 'Runit Dome' risks contaminating the Pacific due to rising sea levels. Another massive injustice at the intersection of the nuclear age and the anthropocene. Nuclear weapons must be universally banned, and affected communities restituted.

There have been scores of incidents since 1945 which almost resulted in the accidental use of nuclear weapons. The so-called "balance of deterrence" is a house of cards and can fall apart at any moment. Read more: https://ow.ly/WWV350Y0gWO

28:51 - "Our nuclear weapons REQUIRE us to have a good relationship with the United States" But wait, isn't that the famous "independent nuclear deterrent"? The Prime Minister makes it sound much more like a DEPENDENCY which means the UK cannot have a truly INDEPENDENT foreign policy.
