Iran May Become a New Testing Ground for U.S. Weapons
According to a report by Reference News on March 9, the Russian newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda" reported on March 4 that Iran may become a testing ground for the latest U.S. weapons. According to Western media reports, after military operations against Iran began, mysterious earthquakes occurred multiple times near a secret base in Nevada, USA. The media reports have raised concerns, and later, Vandenberg Air Force Base in a neighboring state issued a statement saying that the Pentagon had conducted a planned test launch of the "Minuteman"-3 intercontinental ballistic missile. This missile has been in service since 1970, can carry multiple nuclear warheads, has a range of over 13,000 kilometers, and is part of the U.S. "nuclear triad."
Russian military expert and distinguished pilot Vladimir Popov, in an interview, discussed what weapons might trigger underground tremors and what consequences the U.S. would face if Trump crossed the most dangerous line.
Recently, over a hundred earthquakes occurred within an 80-kilometer radius of the so-called Area 52 in Nevada, where the U.S. military tests experimental aircraft and conducts nuclear weapons research.
The British "Daily Mail" noted that this series of earthquakes coincided with U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Popov believes: "The possibility of nuclear testing cannot be ruled out, especially in the case where underground tremors have been recorded by seismic monitoring stations within an 80-kilometer radius. However, the U.S. may also be testing non-nuclear weapons based on new physical principles. If the explosive power is equivalent to that of a nuclear weapon, then the test could also trigger earthquakes."
The expert finds it quite difficult to clearly answer whether Trump is ready for nuclear escalation.
Popov said: "Due to the unstable psychological state of Trump himself and his close associates, it is currently difficult to make any comments. They are extremely capricious and completely swayed by emotions."
The U.S. federal government and the Pentagon have basically remained silent. Trump and his team believe they have every right to do whatever they want. (Translated by Li Ran)
Iran may become a testing ground for new U.S. weapons as recent seismic activity near a secret base in Nevada raises concerns. The Pentagon confirmed the test launch of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile, which is part of the U.S. nuclear triad. Military experts speculate that the seismic events could be linked to either nuclear tests or the testing of new non-nuclear weapons.
