As 20+ nuclear nonproliferation experts and fmr. U.S. and IAEA officials write in this letter sent to Congress on Sept. 22, we should have profound concerns about the flaws of the proposed agreement, which involves a state interested in n-weapons. See: armscontrol.org/sites/defaul… 5/5

"Saudis have not ruled out developing nuclear weapons, U.S. intel assesses." The finding reinforces concerns about Donald Trump’s proposed nuclear agreement, which fails to require the toughest IAEA inpx. and provides a pathway to transfer enrichment tech wapo.st/3VzeoVk

Saying AI should always remain under human control is good but its not enough to deal with the range of risks, just like it is insufficient to say "humans should be in the loop" regarding decisions on the nuclear weapons use. See: armscontrol.org/act/2026-09/…

On 24 September 1996, the CTBT opened for signature: one of the most consequential steps ever taken against nuclear test explosions. 30 years on, 188 States have signed it and 179 have ratified it. The work of finishing it continues. 🌍 ctbto.info/Treaty

As we have said before, such threats are implied nuclear threats and they are unacceptable, unhinged, and counterproductive, esp. if issued at UNGA. (See armscontrol.org/pressroom/20… ) "Trump warns U.N. he might ‘annihilate’ Iran as war overshadows diplomacy" wapo.st/4h5o56p
