Why would the USA bomb Iran?
Yesterday, Gen. Anthony Cotton, head of U.S. Strategic Command, told the Senate that Tehran reduced 'breakout time' period needed to enrich enough uranium for one bomb, from 10-15 days to 'presumably less than one week'
In late June of '24, according to the IAEA, Iran began placing 135 new centrifuges online. The IAEA concluded that once complete, Iran could build several nuclear weapons in less than 1 month.
In Feb of '25, the IAEA published a new report detailing two locations where the presence of anthropogenic (human-altered) uranium was detected. Iran had not disclosed to the IAEA those two locations, and has unaccounted for uranium. This would mean Iran is not in compliance with the NPT.
All of those combined with their threats to attack Israel and the United States make a pretty strong case for bombing them back to the stone age.
Ukrainian forces have begun training and testing exoskeletons for battlefield use. Soldiers from the 147th Separate Artillery Brigade are using them in the Pokrovsk sector for both logistics and frontline operations. The goal is to reduce physical strain, especially when loading heavy artillery shells into howitzers without automatic loaders. Artillery crews can handle up to 1200 kg of ammunition per day, and early tests show that exoskeletons help them work faster and with less fatigue Above all, by improving the conditions for those soldiers on the front lines who handle such heavy loads, plus the stress of work. Seeking to reduce overall fatigue in the troops
