US President Donald Trump has instructed the country’s Department of War to immediately resume testing nuclear weapons in a decision that has alarmed disarmament advocates and global security experts.

Posting on his Truth Social platform on Thursday, Trump said he had issued the order “because of other countries testing programs.”

“That process will begin immediately,” he added.

The US president described Russia and China as respectively the second and third biggest nuclear armed powers in the world, alleging that if Washington did not resume the testing, the countries would catch up with it “within five years.”

The testing process is expected to provide data on how new warheads function and whether aging stockpiles remained reliable.

Trump’s remarks marked the most direct US call for renewed nuclear testing since Washington conducted its last live detonation in 1992.

Critics have warned that reviving live tests could destroy decades of painstaking non-proliferation efforts and invite a cascade of retaliatory tests worldwide, eroding the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).

The United States opened the nuclear era in July 1945 with the detonation of a 20-kiloton bomb at Alamogordo, New Mexico, and weeks later resorted to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The latter catastrophe has etched Washington’s name in history as the only party in the world to ever actually deploy the non-conventional arms.

Observers say Trump’s Thursday move threatens to undo efforts by generations of global leaders to ensure the tragedy would never be repeated.

They have also warned about potential efforts by the Israeli regime, the US’s closest ally in West Asia and the only possessor of nuclear arms in the region, to try to justify further enhancing its deadly nuclear arsenal using the knowhow, which is to be acquired by Washington from the tests.

Trump, however, alleged that he “HATED” to issue the order “because of the tremendous destructive power,” but “had no choice!” because of his self-proclaimed fear of other nuclear armed powers’ catching up with Washington.

Last year, a report revealed that the United States planned to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on modernizing its nuclear arsenal.

zion¿st occupation forces consisting of several military jeeps, infiltrated the southern Lebanese border town of Blida at dawn on Thursday. According to Al Manar correspondent in south Lebanon, the occupation force stormed the town’s temporary municipal building under the cover of surveillance drones, with sounds of gunfire echoing during the assault.

Blida municipality later issued a devastating confirmation: one of its employees, Ibrahim Salameh, who had been staying overnight inside the building, was killed by the invading zionists occupation forces. Officials stated that Salameh was shot and martyred while he was asleep.

The incursion triggered a swift mobilization of Lebanese Army units to the area. After the zionist occupation force eventually withdrew following a two-hour presence, Lebanese military reinforcements moved in to secure the vicinity around the municipal building.

Before their retreat, the zionist occupation forces relayed a warning through the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), demanding the evacuation of the premises. It was confirmed that UNIFIL forces did not enter Blida during or after the hostile operation.

In a related act of escalation, the southern town of Al-Adaysah was also targeted today, where a zionist occupation force booby-trapped and completely demolished a building.

This armed incursion marks the latest in a series of repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty by the zionist occupation, which have extended beyond the South to include the Bekaa Valley and the southern suburbs of Beirut. These actions represent continuous breaches of the ceasefire agreement that was established on November 27, 2024.

zion¿st military launching investigation into notorious Sde Teiman prison leak.

The zion¿st military says it has launched a criminal probe after leaked footage from the elusive Sde Teiman torture facility in the Negev Desert showed zion¿st soldiers violently abusing and in one notorious case, sexually assaulting a Palestinian man.

Among the abuses at Sde Teiman, Palestinians were forced to wear diapers, wounded captives were strapped down onto beds, endured beatings, and other harrowing conditions which involved an array of human degradation.

Footage from the leaked video shows soldiers removing a detainee lying face-down, then surrounding him with riot shields before sexually assaulting him.

According to the zionist military, investigators are also examining whether members of the Military Advocate General’s office were involved in leaking video from inside the prison, which was broadcast by Channel 12 News.

Canadian database tracking zionist soldiers shows mass link removals and edits.

The Maple’s “Find IDF Soldiers” database, which tracks Canadians serving in the zionist occupation military, contains more than 2,200 links tied to 206 profiles. While all links were active when first published, recent scans have revealed dozens of dead or altered links.

Many of these deleted or edited pages once described individuals’ involvement in Israel’s occupation and genocide. In some cases, mentions of “military service” were quietly removed or made private, raising questions about efforts to obscure this information.

To preserve the public record, The Maple has compiled a list of all identified dead or modified links related to Israeli “military service”. The outlet notes it does not know who made the changes or why, but says the alterations highlight a growing attempt to conceal evidence of Canadians’ participation in Israel’s ongoing occupation and genocide.

The number killed by zionist colony since last night has risen to 104, including 46 children, and 253 wounded, after Jews violated the ceasefire, Gaza’s Health Ministry declared.

So far, over eleven Gazans have been reported dead in the attacks on Gaza City and Khan Younis, including the back courtyard of Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

Hamas Movement highlighted in a statement late Tuesday the zionist colony breaches of the ceasefire in Gaza, calling on the guarantors to take immediate action.

Hamas confirmed that it has no connection to the shooting incident in Rafah, taken by the enemy, which had announced the death of a soldier there, as a pretext to escalate the aggression on the Strip.

Hamas also reiterated its commitment to the ceasefire agreement.

“The criminal bombing carried out by the fascist occupation army in areas of the Gaza Strip is a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm El-Sheikh under the auspices of US President Trump.”

“This terrorist attack is an extension of a series of breaches committed over the past few days, including attacks that resulted in martyrs and wounded, and the continued closure of the Rafah crossing, which confirms the determination to violate the agreement’s provisions and attempt to sabotage it.”

Hamas called on the guarantor mediators to the agreement to take immediate action to pressure the occupation, curb its brutal escalation against civilians in the Gaza Strip, stop its serious violations of the ceasefire agreement, and oblige it to all its provisions.

An Israeli air raid on a house in Al-Sabra neighborhood, south of Gaza, leaves casualties. A zionist air raid targeted Al-Zawayda city in central Gaza.

The latest reports indicated that the zionist targeting of a car on Al-Qasssam road in southern Gaza claimed five martyrs.

Pope Leo will visit eight towns and cities in Turkey and Lebanon later this year, the Vatican has said, his first trip outside Italy as pontiff, and he is expected to make appeals for peace across the region.

In Lebanon, the pope will meet President Joseph Aoun in Beirut, will host an interreligious meeting and will lead an outdoor Mass on the Beirut waterfront.

The pope will also pray at the site of the 2020 chemical explosion at the Beirut port that killed 200 people and caused billions of dollars worth of damage.

The official motto of Leo’s Lebanon trip is “Blessed are the peacemakers.”

The “moral obligation” part

The point of a peace agreement is to cease killings and destruction, and the peace committee has the duty to uphold and tohold those accountable who violate the rules.

The zionist entity has no right to kill Lebanese, including Hezbollah fighters, as there is supposedly a ceasefire in place.

These international mechanisms do not work in the benefit of Muslims.

There is the UN Security Council, which is obliged to weigh in.

However, the UN intervenes only when UNIFIL is attacked, whose members are overwhelmingly white Christian westerners.

There are no national or international mechanisms to protect the Lebanese civilians, let alone their fighters.

How much could be expected from a Katholic Christian head who has been silent on this topic since assuming the post?

A decent spiritual leader would decisively intervene in the face of the zionist colony’s killing of at least 103 civilians and many resistance fighters since the so-called peace agreement in November 2024.

The pope has chosen to go back 5 years in time and to pray at the Beirut explosion site, oblivion to the 2024 genocidal war waged on the country by the zionist-american entity that claimed over 4000 lives so far.

His choice is the cue on his stance.
