[19-Mar-2025] Scoop: Trump gives Iran 2-month deadline for new nuclear deal in letter
Time is up from May 5 to May 19, 2025.
Why it matters: It isn't clear whether the two-month clock begins from the time the letter was delivered or from when negotiations start. But if Iran rejects Trump's outreach and doesn't negotiate, the chances of U.S. or Israeli military action against Iran's nuclear facilities would dramatically increase.

The Chinese Nuclear Arsenal: More DoD Nuclear Threat Minimization
The Biden Administration came into power intending to reduce U.S. nuclear weapons and, despite Russian aggression against Ukraine, some reductions were announced in the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review. Because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the reductions were largely vetoed by Congress but nothing positive was done to enhance the inadequate U.S. nuclear modernization program while the U.S. nuclear deterrent continued to age. It appears that the Biden Administration did not want to admit that it was going to allow China to build a larger nuclear force than that of the United States.

The Implications of Russia’s New Nuclear Doctrine
President Putin will likely eventually use nuclear weapons unless he is deterred. Putin may blunder into a war with NATO given his commitment to nuclear coercion and nuclear superiority. Or, he may launch nuclear first use intentionally. The temptation to use nuclear weapons may override the risks.
