ICAN condemns the United States’ illegal military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities. By joining Israel’s strikes, the US is violating international law and putting global non-proliferation efforts at risk.

My latest story -- it's not often that everyday Americans have a venue to tell their government what they think about the new nuclear arms race. But three sorts of public hearings occurred recently, drawing in locals from places like rural South Carolina to Las Vegas to the SF Bay Area.

The US spent $56.8 billion on nuclear weapons in 2024, more than all other nuclear-armed countries combined. That's not security. That's a dangerous waste of taxpayer money. #NuclearBan Read the report here: icanw.org/hidden_costs...

The attack by nuclear-armed Israel on Iran’s nuclear facilities is a dangerous escalation that threatens further conflict. Both countries must join the #TPNW without delay,after which Israel would dismantle its nuclear weapons and Iran would maintain nuclear safeguards🔗 www.icanw.org/israeli_atta...

The latest 🇺🇸US ICBM test may not be linked to current tensions and conflicts, but make no mistake. Demonstrating “readiness” to use nuclear weapons is a nuclear threat and such behaviour by any nuclear-armed state should be condemned. #NuclearBan www.vandenberg.spaceforce.mil/News/Article...

The #NPTPrepCom ended on Friday without any outcome, reflecting a disturbing lack of urgency from pro-nuclear states in the face of rising risks. Amid this deadlock, however, we witnessed constructive leadership from #TPNW states. Read more here ⬇️ #NuclearBan www.icanw.org/no_agreement...
