Western Powers Unite Against Iran's Nuclear Advancements Amid Tensions

The US, UK, France, and Germany have endorsed an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) resolution against Iran, criticizing its nuclear program expansion as lacking a credible, peaceful rationale. The resolution follows Iran's failure to cooperate with the IAEA on undeclared nuclear material issues, despite being legally obligated under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The countries expressed concern over Iran's provocations and urged it to provide necessary cooperation to resolve these issues.

Ukraine Dismisses Nuclear Weapon Development Speculations Amid Aid Concerns

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry has denied claims that it plans to develop nuclear weapons if US military aid ceases, reaffirming its commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. This denial follows a report suggesting Ukraine could quickly develop nuclear capabilities using plutonium from spent fuel rods. The report, allegedly from a Ukrainian military think tank, was to be presented to Ukraine's Defense Ministry. President Zelensky has previously hinted at nuclear development as a security measure if NATO membership remains elusive.

"Belarus to Host Russian Nuclear Weapons in Response to NATO"

Belarus confirms it will host Russian tactical nuclear weapons, citing years of Western pressure and a military build-up by NATO member states near its borders. The move is seen as a response to the campaign of pressure aimed at overthrowing the government of President Alexander Lukashenko. Belarus says the move will not violate non-proliferation rules as it will not have control over the nuclear weapons. Anti-nuclear campaigners have warned that the step will lower the threshold for the use of tactical short-range battlefield nuclear weapons and is unnecessary from a military viewpoint.
