LLAW’s NUCLEAR ISSUES & COMMENTS, Saturday, (04/20/2024)
On Friday, Israel launched a limited military strike on Iran over the city of Isfahan, where several important nuclear facilities are located. The region has been anticipating a retaliatory strike from Israel after Iran’s own retaliatory assault on Israel last weekend.
There’s growing concern that intensifying conflict between Iran and Israel could develop into a regional war. Link to referenced article: Israel launches limited retaliatory military strike against Iran – WVTF
So now the The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog has another nuclear power plant involved in warfare. (See above link). This tells me that nuclear war is inevitable, and it’s just a matter of time until the simmering WWIII begins.
In that vein it also tells me that we (Americans) are out of our minds to believe that we should be re-opening old nuclear power plants and financing billions for new ones while bartering with other nuclear nations to guarantee future uranium fuel to operate nuclear reactors. It is like we are drunkenly stoking the campfire in a tinder-dry forest to stay warm and comfortable, blindly failing to realize we are about to burn down the world. ~llaw
