Iran gave advanced notice to Qatari officials that attacks were coming, as a way to minimize casualties. The Iranian officials said Iran symbolically needed to strike back at the U.S. but at the same time carry it out in a way that allowed all sides an exit ramp. (NYT)

The 400 kg of HEU was largely stored in underground tunnels near the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility. Despite extensive Israeli and US attacks the facility, there does not seem to have been any effort to destroy these tunnels or the material that was in them. 3/17
alexk retweeted
Netanyahu's attack on Iran is about sparking regime change with just enough strikes on nuclear facilities to frame it as an act of preemptive self-defense. I doubt this will turn out well. My latest in @ForeignPolicy. foreignpolicy.com/2025/06/13/isr…

In memory of my hero, Shannon Mary Kent. KIA January 16th 2019. I’d do anything to have more time with her or trade places with her. She gave me her love, our sons & her life for our nation. Shannon eternal.

Both @ArmsControlWonk's thread on completely different redactions of the same doc and @BryanDBender's piece on the White House's new effort to rein in classification got us at @NSArchive thinking about all the ridiculous things we've seen over the last 37 years. A #FOIA thread.
alexk retweeted
I did a long thread for my super followers on one of my favorite stories about declassification -- the time that the @NSArchive and @nukestrat FOIA'ed the same document and got totally different redactions. Not a single sentence is consistently redacted in both.

Dear alma mater: I would love to give you more money. I really would. But you won’t even give me remote library access. Please consider throwing that in with the alumni perks. I do not care about the special tent at baseball games.
