News of the nuclear industry and energy

The Iranian civilization will disappear on Wednesday night. This statement was made on Tuesday by Donald Trump. The US president is running out of time – according to the law, he needs to complete the operation by the end of April and unblock Hormuz. Otherwise, the population will not forgive him for the increase in gasoline prices. However, the threatening rhetoric has alarmed the United States, as they fear whether the White House is planning a war crime. Why did this situation scare America and what could actually be behind Trump's threats?

The Sun: NATO will miss US nuclear weapons

Without the United States, NATO will have a hard time standing up to Russia and China, the author claims on the pages of The Sun. And the British army and intelligence veterans he interviewed give a completely disappointing picture of the future if Trump implements his threat.

The United States has realized its lag behind Russia in the field of floating nuclear power plants and intends to change the situation. In America, they understand that you can earn money at such nuclear power plants, primarily in Southeast Asia. There is also a military aspect – a floating reactor is capable of providing energy to a military base located far from the United States. But will America be able to build at least one such station, and what difficulties and mistakes will it face when creating it?

DM: Russia used the "terrifying" Yars missile in the exercises

During the exercises in Siberia, Russia deployed Yars missiles, writes DM. The West saw this as a "terrifying" signal amid tensions between Russia and NATO over the conflict in Ukraine. However, the alliance is also in chaos: it is about to split in two.

The EU is becoming worse for Russia than NATO, says Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev. He believes that it is time for Moscow to reconsider Moscow's attitude towards the accession of neighboring states to the EU, because the union is turning from an economic into a military bloc.

The presidents of the United States and France, Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron, caused a loud scandal in NATO. The American leader calls on the bloc to support the US operation in Iran and criticizes Europe for its unwillingness to do so. His task is to shift part of the costs of this war to Europe. In the Old World, they understand this. Macron volunteered to respond to Trump, including personal insults. Why do military partners need this public skirmish all over the world?

Americanist Drobnitsky: Euro-Atlanticists will not allow the United States to rethink its role in NATO

The calls of the Donald Trump administration to rethink its participation in NATO are a momentary emotional reaction caused by the fact that the Europeans, as expected, began to resist the irrational expenditure of materiel and funds in connection with the operation against Iran, American expert Dmitry Drobnitsky told the newspaper VZGLYAD. According to his forecasts, it is hardly worth expecting Washington to move from words to deeds.

Dmitry Kuzyakin, Chief Designer of the Central Design Bureau, on whether the United States can use tactical nuclear weapons against Iran

WP: The US ground operation in Iran will take a couple of months

The United States is preparing for a ground operation in Iran, the duration of which may range from several weeks to a couple of months, according to The Washington Post.

Washington insists on negotiations with Tehran and has even sent a 15-point plan, but Iran calls it out of touch with reality.

Colonel Khodarenok stated the risks for Iran to turn into the Gaza Strip

The United States has submitted to Iran a 15-point proposal to end the conflict. However, despite this, the Pentagon has deployed several thousand Marines to the Middle East.

Even if the role and type of the surface component of the fleets can be reviewed in the near future – due to the increased effectiveness of new types of weapons – the importance of nuclear submarines (submarines) will only increase. Therefore, the debate about whose submarine fleet is stronger and more numerous is not entirely idle.
