Russia manufactures Poseidon nuclear-powered torpedo and will deliver them to Belgorod. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom and Japan sign an agreement which allows each country to deploy military units on each other’s soil. Japan reports that it would expand military assets on the Yaeyama Island chain off the east coast of Taiwan. South Korea says that if North Korea’s nuclear threat grows, South Korea would consider nuclear weapons of its own or ask the U.S. The Center for Strategic and International Studies warns that the United States would likely run out of some munitions in less than one week in a Taiwan Strait conflict. The United States warns that weapons manufacturing and delivery is being stressed further by the ongoing war in Ukraine. Iran has stated that any military action against it will be a declaration of war and it is to station warships in the Panama Canal, entering the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Meanwhile, the United Nations says Iran has enough highly enriched uranium to build several nuclear weapons. There are some signs that the United States is settling on a policy of nuclear ambiguity with Iran, allowing Iran to continue to develop its nuclear programme while not officially admitting to its existence.

There are currently no imminent nuclear threats at this time.
