Iran's agreements accelerate the nuclear race in the Middle East
Egypt has signed an agreement with Russian state-owned nuclear company Rosatom to build its first nuclear plant in Dabaa, with President Abdelfatah al Sisi announcing the possibility of nuclear energy production within five years. The move is part of a broader trend in the Middle East, where countries, motivated by Iran's nuclear agreements with the United States, are pursuing nuclear energy. Experts like Carol Nakhle and Olaf Pape express skepticism about Egypt's economic ability to sustain such investments, while countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have more plausible nuclear plans. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) offers safety assistance, which Egypt has not requested. The region's energy needs are growing, and nuclear energy is seen as a prestigious technological advancement, despite the availability of renewable options like wind and solar power. Russia and China are competing to secure nuclear business in the Middle East, with Russia making strategic agreements with Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

US Secretary of State: We will apply the heaviest sanctions against Iran
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that Iran will face a choice when the full scope of US sanctions is implemented, either struggling to keep its economy alive or continuing to spend national wealth on overseas operations, but not both. Pompeo acknowledged that European allies might try to keep the old nuclear deal with Iran alive and that the US understands the economic challenges this may pose, even domestically. He announced that the US will send expert delegations worldwide to explain its Iran policy. Pompeo also listed conditions for Iran, including treating its citizens better, reporting nuclear activities to the IAEA, permanently stopping uranium enrichment, and cutting support for terrorism.

Fukushima fish with 180 times legal limit of radioactive cesium fuels water release fears
A black rockfish near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant contained radioactive cesium levels 180 times above Japan's safety limit. Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) found the fish with 18,000 becquerels per kilogram of cesium-137, raising concerns over Japan's plan to release treated water from the plant. The UN's IAEA approved the plan, but it faces opposition from China, Hong Kong, and South Korea. China has started testing Japanese seafood for radioactivity, and Hong Kong may ban food imports. Tepco has been removing fish from the plant's port since 2012, and high radioactivity levels in seafood have led to suspended shipments. Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida calls for discussions based on scientific evidence regarding the water release.

‘We will not surrender the station’: Concern over Russian attacks on Ukrainian nuclear plants
Ukrainian nuclear power plants face significant risks from Russian military activities, including potential damage to auxiliary equipment or the reactor itself, which could lead to a disaster comparable to Chernobyl or Fukushima. Despite the risks, Ukrainian workers at these plants refuse to abandon their posts, even under the threat of missile attacks and while working at gunpoint. The plants are designed to withstand an airplane crash but not a direct missile hit. The seizure of the defunct Chernobyl power station by Russian forces is seen as a strategic move and a form of blackmail due to the presence of radioactive material. Criticism is directed at international nuclear organizations like the IAEA and WANO for their lack of concrete action and effective communication. Ukrainian nuclear technicians continue to work under stress, generating electricity for their country, and the interviewee expresses gratitude to European countries providing aid and weapons. The interviewee, an engineer, remains hopeful for the end of the war and the future rebuilding of Ukraine.

Revisiting the Agreed Framework
The 1994 Agreed Framework between the United States and North Korea was a good deal that successfully froze North Korea's plutonium production for eight years. Despite common misconceptions of its failure, the framework was undermined by irregular deliveries of heavy fuel oil, delays in light-water reactor construction, and the Bush administration's decision to suspend U.S. obligations under the agreement. This led to North Korea resuming its nuclear program, increasing its plutonium stockpile, and conducting nuclear tests. The Bush administration later attempted to negotiate a similar agreement through the Six Party Talks. The Agreed Framework should be seen as a cautionary tale for those handling nuclear negotiations with Iran.

Iran Warns of 'Last Chance' to Save Nuclear Deal as US Aims to End Oil Sales
Iran has warned that the upcoming talks with world powers are the final opportunity to save the 2015 nuclear deal, as the US intensifies its efforts to block all Iranian oil sales. Tehran has threatened to withdraw from the agreement and exceed the enriched uranium limits if the US sanctions, which have severely impacted Iran's oil exports, are not eased. The US, having withdrawn from the nuclear accord under President Trump, is enforcing strict sanctions and urging European companies to cease business with Iran. The US special representative on Iran, Brian Hook, stated that the sanctions aim to cut off $50 billion in oil revenues for Iran.

Amid Uranium Scare at Heathrow, Pakistan Confident its Nuclear Material is Secure
Britain's counterterrorism police are investigating a package containing uranium seized at London's Heathrow Airport on December 29, which was reportedly from Pakistan and destined for an Iranian business in the UK. Pakistani officials deny the shipment originated from Pakistan, and British police have stated there is no threat to the public. Pakistan has been working to enhance its nuclear security, receiving praise from the IAEA, and has improved its ranking in the NTI's Nuclear Security Index. Comparatively, officials point out India's lower ranking and recent incidents involving unauthorized access to radioactive materials, suggesting the international community should scrutinize India more closely.

Iran negotiations have been a force multiplier
The article discusses the importance and impact of the U.S. engagement policy with Iran, initiated by President Obama. Despite skepticism and criticism from various quarters, the policy has isolated the Iranian government, brought international consensus on sanctions, and influenced Iran's domestic politics. The negotiations have highlighted Iran's reluctance to compromise, thereby strengthening the U.S. position and credibility. The article argues that maintaining open channels for negotiation, alongside targeted sanctions, is crucial for a peaceful resolution to Iran's nuclear program.

IAEA Chief Criticizes Iran's Decision to Bar Nuclear Inspectors
IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi described Iran's September decision to ban several experienced UN inspectors from monitoring its nuclear program as a significant blow to the agency's ability to operate at the highest level. The ban affected a third of the IAEA's core group of most experienced inspectors designated for Iran. Grossi is in talks with Mohammad Eslami, head of Iran's civil nuclear program, to reverse the decision. The IAEA reported that as of October 28, Iran had approximately 128.3 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity, an increase from their September report. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, but Grossi warned that Tehran has enough enriched uranium for multiple nuclear bombs if it chooses to build them.

The International Atomic Energy Agency continues to request that no fighting take place near the plant. The last reactor at the Zaporizhzhia plant was shut down in September, and the IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi has expressed concerns about the plant's vulnerability to external attacks and internal sabotage.

Is Israel Over-Hyping the Supposed Iran Threat?
Jonathan G. Leslie's book 'Fear and Insecurity: Israel and the Iran Threat Narrative' argues that Israel's portrayal of Iran as an imminent threat is exaggerated and serves political purposes. The narrative, heavily promoted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, contrasts with Israel's superior military and economic strength. Leslie highlights how Netanyahu's rhetoric has influenced both domestic and international perceptions, diverting attention from other issues like the occupation of Palestine. The book also examines the role of discourse in shaping the Iran threat narrative, suggesting that it has become a permanent feature of Israeli politics.

Hamas attack snarls up US choices in West Asia
The recent Hamas attack has significantly complicated US foreign policy in West Asia, disrupting President Biden's regional diplomacy efforts and raising new security and political challenges. The attack has led to a shift in US military posture, with a carrier strike group deployed to the eastern Mediterranean to support Israel. The situation has also impacted US-Iran relations, with concerns over the use of unfrozen Iranian funds. Domestically, the Biden administration faces criticism from the Republican Party and divisions within the Democratic Party. The attack has potential long-term implications for US regional policy, including the prospects for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Iran to produce enriched metallic uranium amid bombings and dialogue with the U.S.
Iran announced its intention to produce 20% purity enriched metallic uranium for peaceful purposes, such as cancer treatment, despite concerns from France, Germany, and the UK that it lacks a credible civil need for such production. This move is seen as a violation of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and has raised tensions amid ongoing negotiations in Vienna, where Iran seeks the lifting of U.S. sanctions in exchange for compliance with nuclear agreement limits. The U.S. has labeled Iran's announcement as a step back but remains optimistic about future talks. Meanwhile, recent U.S. bombings in Syria in response to attacks on its troops by Iran-backed militias have added to the complexity of the situation.
