The posession of nuclear weapons and outspending all other nuclear weapons states combined (!) has not deterred attacks against American military bases. Nuclear deterrence is a scam.

Breaking News: Iran said it launched an attack on Al Udeid Air Base, an American base in Qatar that is the largest U.S. military post in the Middle East, according to its state media.

This war makes fence-sitting no longer an option. Being neutral is not an option. After the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, governments must answer a simple question: Are they for or against nuclear weapons?
June 22, 2025 at 4:46 PM
True also for all nuclear weapon states 👇
You know what would have offered Iran much better protection than nuclear weapons? Having a reasonable (non-aggressive) policy toward its neighbors.

ICAN condemns the United States’ illegal military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
By joining Israel’s strikes, the US is violating international law and putting global non-proliferation efforts at risk.

1/ Although we were disappointed by the proceedings of last week’s #NPTPrepCom, and its non-outcome, we managed to hold a number of promising meetings on the sidelines, including relating to the Treaty on the Prohibiton of Nuclear Weapons. More #NuclearBan meetings in the thread🧵

Moments ago, the third #NPTPrepCom failed to adopt any outcome, reflecting a horrifying lack of urgency in response to current risks.

Yet we've been encouraged by constructive leadership from #TPNW states, and their efforts to reinforce non-proliferation and disarmament norms.

#India & #Pakistan exchange fire. #Russia escalates in #Ukraine. #Israel destroying Gaza. Four nuclear powers actively involved in armed conflict.

"Atomwaffen werden nicht zum Einsatz kommen." Hoffen wirs. Aber wissen wirs?

Damit ist die Glaubwürdigkeit nuklearer Abschreckung am Ende. Atomwaffen verhindern keine konventionellen Kriege, im Gegenteil. Sie machen deren Konsequenzen noch viel schlimmer.
Es ist schrecklich, wie sich die Lage zwischen IND und PAK entwickelt.

Der Verweis darauf, dass es sich um zwei Atommächte handelt, ist aber wenig nützlich. Atomwaffen werden nicht zum Einsatz kommen.

Wir sollten uns um die Eskalation sorgen, die konventionell möglich ist.

80 years after the Manhattan Project, nuclear weapons still hold the world hostage. At #NPTPrepCom, we called out the failure of many NPT states to uphold their disarmament obligations, undermining the treaty they claim to defend.
