— 🇮🇷 NEW: Iran has increased its monthly production of 60% enriched uranium from 3kg to 9kg a month

According to the IAEA, the rate at which Iran has been producing near weapons-grade uranium enriched up to 60% at the Natanz and Fordow facilities combined has increased to approximately 9 kg per month in December.

By the IAEA's theoretical definition, around 42 kg of this 60% enriched uranium is the amount at which making a nuclear bomb with it cannot be excluded. - Reuters

Well, now I remember why I don't have a discussion group.

Netanyahu and Erdogan are having another shouting match pretending that they hate each other, while they are allies in genocide.

⚡️🇪🇬🇸🇩 Egyptian authorities have ordered all Egyptians to leave Sudan immediately, and have put a travel advisory to visiting Sudan - this applies to all the regions in Sudan, even if there are no violence or conflict in the region or territory where they reside, the meeting between Burhan, the leader of the SAF, and the leader of the RSF, which was scheduled to take place tomorrow, has been canceled.

Therefore, a new phase, and simply a whole new level of the war is expected to occur in the future.

The Egyptian Air Force has already done dozens of flights to Khartoum and other airports near the capital to evacuate Egyptians and foreigners, and the Navy has also done the same in Port Sudan - they will be ready to do so again and all Egyptians are ordered to contact the consulate in Port Sudan, or we are simply not responsible for your safety in the future.
