China elbows its way into South Korean waters

5 days ago | news.com.au | Jamie Seidel

ANALYSISSatellite photos reveal China is using the cover of global turmoil to push its boundaries deeper into neighbouring territory. The world’s eyes are focused on Ukraine, Gaza and Iran. South Korea has been contending with the fallout of a failed presidential coup. Meanwhile, Beijing has anchored an enormous deep-sea platform in the disputed waters of the Yellow Sea. And it won’t let Seoul get a close look. China insists it is a service centre for surrounding caged aqua farms.
Trump claims ‘spectacular success’ after US strikes Iranian nuclear sites, Tehran vows retaliation options

Trump has declared a decisive victory. Vance insists bombing Iran was not an act of war. But Iranian officials say they have been “betrayed”, and they “reserve all options” for retaliation. The United States at the weekend bombed several nuclear production facilities across Iran. US President Donald Trump stated the goal of the strikes was the “destruction of Iran’s nuclear enrichment capacity”. And nothing else. Now, he has proclaimed his mission a “spectacular military success”.

Remember Chernobyl? Remember Fukushima? So, is bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities really such a good idea? Concern is growing across the Middle East that the fallout of Israel’s assault on Iran will not just be political, economic and potentially military. They’re anxiously watching for spikes in radiation. Qatar’s energy ministry has announced it has enhanced its monitoring activities and is working with neighbouring states to plan for any necessary response.
‘Nuclear bomb’: Iran act could change everything

1 week ago | news.com.au | Jamie Seidel

Just how close is Iran to making a nuclear bomb? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims Tehran poses a “clear and present danger” after decades of nuclear research and development. But, despite allegations of secret research and undeclared nuclear material, no evidence has been presented that Iran is actually building thermonuclear warheads. Yet. What is certain is Tehran’s possession of at least 400kg of uranium enriched to 60 per cent concentrations of the isotope U-235.

ANALYSIS It is Australia’s most ambitious construction project ever. It was never going to be easy. Just four years after the AUKUS agreement to share the production of a new generation of nuclear-powered submarines was signed to much fanfare in the presence of then Prime Ministers Scott Morrison, Boris Johnson and President Joe Biden, it’s facing its first existential crisis.
“World War III”: Los Angeles riots spell the worst for humanity

2 weeks ago | news.com.au | Jamie Seidel

Culture war? Race war? Civil War? World War III? It all depends on where one stands within the political spectrum tearing the United States apart. US President Donald Trump’s unprecedented response to hundreds of violent protesters on the streets of Los Angeles has certainly triggered an emotive war of words. “They’re foreigners that are doing this. You see the Mexican flags. You see the Palestinian flags.

Elon Musk wants to build a city on Mars. And now, a tiny Texas town is getting a serve of what life in his personal utopia may be like. Last month, the tech billionaire took control of Boca Chicha Village, a community of about 500 people on the Lone Star State’s southeastern corner. About 260 of them work for his company, SpaceX.
Strange find rewrites all we know about humans

We don’t know where they came from. We don’t know where they went. The unique DNA of an ancient tribe of hunter-gatherers is adding to the confusion surrounding the source of South America’s first inhabitants. The story of the region’s human settlement is already confusing enough. Some argued it was colonised by Stone Age clans crossing the Atlantic Ocean from Africa and the Pacific Ocean from as far away as Australia.
Operation Spiderweb: How Ukraine pulled off the unthinkable

Massive over-the-horizon radars. Interceptors capable of flying 3000km/h. Hundreds of fighter jets. Dozens of missile batteries. Highly mobile, anti-aircraft tanks. But Russia’s trillion-dollar defence infrastructure could not do anything about a few truckloads of wi-fi connected toy drones. “Enemy strategic bombers are burning en masse in Russia,” Ukraine’s Security Service has declared. It’s a devastating blow for the Kremlin. It’s a daring display of resistance by Kyiv.
Unthinkable new Pompeii find stuns the world

1 month ago | news.com.au | Jamie Seidel

A scattering of pock marks on Pompeii’s city walls may prove a mythological “super weapon” may have been real after all. At a glance, they look like acts of vandalism found across the ancient world – from the face of the Great Sphynx to the great standing stones of Britain. Few historic sights have escaped the temptation of trigger-happy troops, hunters and tourists. And the marks of these bullet impacts still mar their surfaces centuries later.
