Independent, open-source analysis has never been more crucial. Proud to join @FPRI and keep doing this essential work. Full press release: https://t.co/Dw6y7raRIR
Jeffrey and Sam paved the way at FPRI, and now the rest of the team is arriving to keep the momentum going on monitoring global nuclear developments through open sources.
Thrilled to announce my next step: I'm joining the Foreign Policy Research Institute (@FPRI) as a full-time Fellow! Best of all, I get to keep working with the best team in the business: Jeffrey, John, Sam, and Michael.
@russianforces It looks like the Russian MoD stated that Belarusian troops carried out an Iskander-M launch. Does this influence your thoughts laid out in your substack piece at all? Great piece by the way
Kashan missile base hit
At least two vehicles damaged leaving scorch marks, one support building destroyed. This is one of the regional-range bases used during True Promise II to target Israel. Unsurprising it got hit early
Thanks to our friends @planet for the imagery
Confirmed the AN/FPS-132 phased array radar in Qatar was damaged by Iran, thanks to an incredible image from our friends @planet
Debris from the damaged face has fallen on the roof of the main building and there is water runoff from the firefighting effort
Missile base north of Kermanshah hit
All the buildings were destroyed, looks like explosions along the road, and possible damage to tunnel entrances as well. Looks like ejecta near the tunnel entrances, perhaps from bunker busters.
Thanks to @planet for the images!
US or Israeli forces struck Dezful missile base some time after March 1. Several buildings were destroyed.
This passively confirms that Dezful is a missile base as, at least in my records, this was previously unconfirmed.
Thanks to our friends @planet for the imagery.
Tabriz south missile base struck
Recently built radome and support buildings destroyed, and tunnel entrances damaged. Lots of craters along the roads as well.
Thanks to our friends @planet for the images
The Khojir complex run by Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group was hit
Shahid Cheragi industries, which makes nitric acid, oxidizer for Iranian liquid fueled missiles was struck, along with the older solid propellant motor production facility.
Thanks again to our friends @planet
I have a guest post up the Arms Control Wonk blog today on how the PLA plans to use hypersonic weapons. I wrote this in late 2024-early 2025, glad to see it finally published :) Stay tuned for one more next week 👀

It appears Oreshnik was indeed used tonight. I am not counting as many submunition packages this time which may be due to a partial failure of one of the packages to separate correctly.
Very excited that the write up on my thesis was picked up by NKNews! Thanks to everyone at @JamesMartinCNS and at NKNews who made this possible. Mort articles to come from your friendly neighborhood peace enthusiast.
