Korean Atomic Bomb Victims Organize Peoples Tribunal For Justice

In 1945, tens of thousands of occupied Koreans were forced to live in Japan, primarily as impoverished workers. When the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 70,000 Koreans were impacted. Though they and their succeeding generations have been severely harmed by the exposure to radiation, they still have not received recognition, an apology or compensation for their suffering. A delegation of atomic bomb victims just completed a tour of the United States and testified before the United Nations. Clearing the FOG speaks with Shim Jin-tae, Han Jeongsun and a representative of Solidarity for Peace and Reunification of Korea (SPARK) about their experiences and their struggle for a nuclear-free world.

As Nuclear Arms Race Returns, Is Non-Proliferation Treaty Still Relevant?

May 2, 2026 Amiad Horowitz, People's World. Educate! Arms Race, Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, Nuclear Weapons, United Nations

The 11th Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons opened Monday at United Nations headquarters in New York. For 25 days, representatives of 191 states-parties will negotiate over the future of a treaty that has served as the cornerstone of global nuclear order since 1970. The stakes could not be higher, and the system has never looked more fragile. For the first time in decades, the number of nuclear warheads in the world is rising. Global military spending soared to $2.7 trillion last year, which is thirteen times the total amount of global development assistance, roughly equivalent to Africa’s entire GDP. Two consecutive review conferences, in 2015 and again in 2022, collapsed without producing a consensus final document.

A Brief History Of The Israeli Nuclear Program

April 5, 2026 Anna Illing, Mondoweiss. Educate! Iran, Israel, Nuclear Weapons, Wars and Militarism

The current U.S.-Israeli war is the second war in less than a year declared by Israel and the USA, allegedly on the grounds of dismantling Iran’s nuclear capabilities. While there is no documented evidence that Iran has a nuclear weapon or is close to developing one, there is another state in the Middle East whose nuclear arsenal exists as an open secret. That state is, of course, Israel, and its nuclear arsenal, although not officially recognized or confirmed, stands as one of the leading drivers of unrest throughout the region. Israel’s history with nuclear weapons unfolded between secrecy, public tacit knowledge, and support, both materially and diplomatically, from the West, creating a playbook of strategic ambiguity around it still in place today.

Will Trump Break The Nuclear Taboo?

March 20, 2026 Peter Kuznick and Ivana Nikolic Hughes, Consortium News. Educate! Donald Trump, Iran, Nuclear Weapons, Wars and Militarism, West Asia

President Donald Trump has been on quite a roll. Since just the beginning of the year, he has kidnapped the Venezuela president, threatened to invade Greenland and Colombia and has dragged the U.S. – and seemingly much of the Middle East — into a new war by joining with Israel to attack Iran, something that even the biggest hawks among recent U.S. presidents have managed to avoid. That’s on top of bombing seven countries in 2025. The 2024 campaign promises of a peace president who will end the forever wars have evaporated, only to be replaced by unrestrained use of military force and a seeming disdain for diplomacy.

Iranians Probably Wished To Hell They Had Developed Nuclear Weapons!

Including the minute when the US and Israel fired missiles and dropped bombs on the home of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his wife and other members of his family killing over 40 members of the leadership of Iran, senior Iranian officials had maintained that Iran would never develop a nuclear bomb. The Omani Foreign Minister who was in discussions with Iran and the United States on February 27, 2026 only days before the U.S./Israeli attack on Iran said Iran agreed to "never, ever have … nuclear material that will create a bomb."

Breaking The Nuclear Taboo

March 11, 2026 Peter Kuznick and Ivana Nikolić Hughes, Popular Resistance. Educate! Iran, Israel, Nuclear Weapons, Wars and Militarism

President Trump has been on quite a roll. Since just the beginning of the year, he has kidnapped the Venezuela president, threatened to invade Greenland and Colombia, and has in just the last week dragged the U.S. – and seemingly much of the Middle East -- into a new war by joining with Israel to attack Iran, something that even the biggest hawks among recent U.S. presidents have managed to avoid. That’s on top of bombing seven countries in 2025. The 2024 campaign promises of a peace president who will end the forever wars have evaporated, only to be replaced by unrestrained use of military force and a seeming disdain for diplomacy.

The War On Iran And Washington’s Missing Exit Strategy

March 9, 2026 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, Scheer Post. Strategize! CODEPINK, Iran, Nuclear Weapons, Peace, Wars and Militarism

The United States has once again launched a war in the Middle East based on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Like the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the U.S. assault on Iran rests on allegations that international inspectors have already debunked. But beyond the false pretext lies an even more pressing question that few officials in Washington seem willing—or able—to answer: What is the U.S. exit strategy from its war on Iran? President Trump has justified the attack by claiming that Iran refuses to renounce nuclear weapons. As he prepared to launch the war, Trump repeatedly claimed, “We haven’t heard those secret words: ‘We will never have a nuclear weapon.’”

Bombs Which Polish The Skulls Of The Dead

On 5 February 2026, the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) expired, ending the last surviving legal constraint on the strategic nuclear arsenals of the United States and the Russian Federation. New START, which was signed in 2010 and entered into force in 2011, should have been replaced by a successor agreement. The treaty limited strategic warheads and delivery vehicles deployed by each side and established a verification regime of inspection, notification, and information exchange. These measures were not cosmetic; they were thin threads that restrained the most destructive machinery ever assembled.

Moscow: US And Russia ‘No Longer Bound’ By New START Limits

The Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it believes the US and Russia are no longer bound by New START, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the two powers, which is set to expire on Thursday. “In the current circumstances, we assume that the Parties to the New START are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations in the context of the Treaty, including its core provisions, and are in principle free to choose their next steps,” the ministry said in a statement issued on Telegram on Wednesday, the day before the treaty officially expires.

It Is 85 Seconds To Midnight

The Doomsday Clock was set at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest the Clock has ever been to midnight in its history. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Science and Security Board (SASB), which sets the Clock, called for urgent action to limit nuclear arsenals, create international guidelines on the use of AI, and form multilateral agreements to address global biological threats. Alexandra Bell, president and CEO, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, said: “The Doomsday Clock’s message cannot be clearer. Catastrophic risks are on the rise, cooperation is on the decline, and we are running out of time.

Scientists: Public Engagement, Pressure Key To Reducing Nuclear Risks

December 30, 2025 Jon Letman, Truthout. Strategize! Nuclear War, Nuclear Weapons, popular power, Science

Faster, stealthier missiles, accelerated weapons development, and the threat of an unrestrained nuclear arms race, set against the backdrop of a withering arms control regime, point to a worsening global nuclear threat as 2025 comes to a close. On top of that, just before meeting with China’s leader Xi Jinping in October, President Donald Trump abruptly, and very imprecisely announced in a social media post, “Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.”

Nuclear War: The Missiles Of October

October 9, 2025 Scott Ritter, Consortium News. Educate! China, Nuclear Treaty, Nuclear Weapons, Russia, Trump Administration

The last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia — New START — is set to expire on Feb. 5, 2026. This treaty, which caps the nuclear arsenals of both nations at 1,550 deployed strategic nuclear weapons each, was signed back in 2010, during the administrations of U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. At that time, the two nations were engaged in what proved to be an abortive “reset” of relations. But the underlying problems which prompted the need for a reset — NATO expansion, continued U.S. pursuit of hegemony disguised as a “rules based international order” and a general U.S. disregard for arms control as a necessary mechanism of global stability — were never fully addressed

Although Bill Clinton signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 1996, he swiftly funded the “Stockpile Stewardship” program at the US nuclear weapons complex, allowing the Dr. Strangeloves in their labs to continue to perform laboratory tests as well as blowup plutonium with chemical explosives,1,000 feet below the desert floor at the Nevada Test Site on Western Shoshone holy land.

Military Veteran Speaks Out On Nuclear War And GI Resistance

August 12, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG GI Resistance, Hiroshima, ICE, Nagasaki, Nuclear War, Nuclear Weapons, US military

This past week marked the 80th anniversary of the US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Clearing the FOG speaks with Gerry Condon, a past president of Veterans for Peace and a lifelong GI resister, about the myths of the US atomic bombing of Japan and the costs of nuclear weapons, including the environmental contamination from the nuclear chain and testing. Condon warns that the risk of nuclear war is higher than ever. He also speaks about resistance to nuclear weapons and his current work on the anti-nuclear boat, The Golden Rule. And Condon discusses the surge in active duty members who are joining Veterans for Peace in opposition to the genocide in Palestine and the domestic deployment of the military to assist ICE in the detention of immigrants and US citizens.

Government Officials Who Push Button Of Nuclear Weapons Will Die First, As They Should

For the past five days I have been in Hiroshima, Japan speaking at a conference on the 80th Anniversary of the horrific and unnecessary U.S. atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We have now travelled to Nagasaki to participate in an international conference there and the commemoration of the August 9 atomic bombing of that city. Archived documents reveal that the Japanese government was going to surrender. The decision of the Truman administration to go ahead and incinerate with atomic bombs 210,000 citizens of two Japanese cities as a warning to the Soviet Union was a war crime of the highest degree.
