Locations of Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Iran’s nuclear programme and facilities span several key sites. While fears of Israeli airstrikes have persisted for decades, only some of these facilities are underground. These sites play different roles in uranium enrichment, research, and energy production. Does Iran Have a Nuclear Weapons Programme? The US and the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog believe that Iran once ran a coordinated, secret nuclear weapons programme. This activity is thought to have ended in 2003. Iran, however, strongly denies ever having had or planning to develop nuclear weapons. In 2015, Iran signed a deal with world powers. This…

Hungary to Sell Majority Defence Stake to 4iG Ahead of 2026 Election The Government of Hungary plans to sell a major part of its defence industry stake to 4iG Group, the Ministry of Economy announced on Wednesday. This move includes shares in several key facilities, including Rheinmetall’s Hungarian subsidiary. Defence Assets Consolidated and Offered for Sale Under the proposed plan, state-owned N7 Holding—currently owning stakes in nine defence companies—will transfer its assets to a new subsidiary called N7 Defence Zrt. Following this, 4iG’s defence unit, 4iG SDT, will acquire a 75% plus one vote majority in the new firm. The…
BAE Systems and Hanwha Systems Partner to Develop Multi-Sensor Satellite Network BAE Systems and Hanwha Systems have signed a strategic agreement to co-develop a global multi-sensor satellite system. This initiative aims to enhance space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities for defence and security applications worldwide. Combining RF and SAR Technologies The partnership brings together BAE Systems’ expertise in ultra-wide band radio frequency (RF) sensors and Hanwha Systems’ specialisation in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technologies. Together, they plan to build an integrated satellite solution capable of collecting and processing RF and SAR data in space. The system will feature advanced…
Apple Introduces Modest AI Features at Developer Conference Apple unveiled a range of new artificial intelligence (AI) features on Monday, 9 June, during WWDC 2025. These updates focused on practical improvements rather than ambitious AI goals, setting the stage for future developments. Small Changes with Everyday Impact Instead of major overhauls, Apple announced smaller updates designed to improve daily experiences. These include live translations for phone calls and a new design for its operating systems. The company presented these changes as ways to enhance convenience in users’ lives. A year after falling short on AI-based upgrades to features like Siri,…
SpaceX Launches SXM-10 Satellite Amid Rising Tensions with US Government SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket early Saturday, 7 June, deploying the SXM-10 satellite for SiriusXM. The launch took place at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. SXM-10 Reaches Orbit to Boost Satellite Radio Services The SXM-10 satellite was delivered into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. From this position, it will support SiriusXM’s satellite radio services, improving coverage and performance. The satellite was built by Maxar Technologies, a well-known aerospace manufacturer. This mission marks the eighth flight for this particular Falcon 9 rocket. It has previously been used for…
ispace Moon Landing Fails Again, Japan’s Lunar Hopes Endure Second Attempt Ends in Hard Lunar Crash Japanese space firm ispace has suffered another setback in its lunar exploration goals. Its uncrewed lander, Resilience, likely crashed during its descent to the moon on Friday. This marks the second failed ispace moon landing attempt, following a similar incident in 2023. The Tokyo-based company aimed to join US firms like Intuitive Machines and Firefly Aerospace, who have already achieved commercial lunar landings. Despite the crash, Japan remains active in lunar exploration, especially through its commitment to the US-led Artemis programme. Technical Faults Undermined…
Giant Planet Found Orbiting Tiny Star Surprises Astronomers Astronomers have discovered an unusual planet-star pairing that challenges current ideas about how planets form. A giant planet about the size of Saturn is orbiting a star much smaller than expected, leaving scientists puzzled. A Planet Too Big for Its Star? The star, named TOI-6894, is located about 240 light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo. It is a red dwarf, the smallest and most common type of star in the Milky Way. Weighing in at just 21% the mass of our sun, it was expected to host only small, rocky planets…
Amazon’s AI Boost to Improve Deliveries and Warehouse Efficiency Amazon is expanding its use of artificial intelligence (AI) beyond writing tools. Amazon’s AI boost will improve warehouse operations, and enhance mapping for drivers. Smarter Warehouse Robots on the Way Amazon has announced a new team at its Lab126 device unit focused on developing more advanced warehouse robots. These new robots will use “agentic AI”, a form of AI that can make decisions and act without further instructions. Unlike current robots that perform only one task, these intelligent machines will be able to switch between jobs. For example, they could unload…
Beta Technologies Makes Aviation History at JFK Airport Beta Technologies has become the first US company to land a fully electric aircraft carrying passengers at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. The landmark event occurred on Tuesday, 3 June, as part of a growing push towards sustainable urban air travel. The aircraft, named Beta’s ALIA, completed a 45-minute flight to JFK with a pilot and four passengers on board. This marks a significant step in the development of electric air taxis that aim to transform short-distance city travel. Electric Aircraft Designed for City Travel ALIA is designed to take…
The Milky Way’s Fate: New Study Challenges Andromeda Collision Timeline The Milky Way and the nearby Andromeda galaxy are speeding towards each other at around 250,000 miles per hour (400,000 kph). Scientists have long believed this would lead to a future galactic collision, destroying both galaxies. However, new research suggests this dramatic event might not be as certain as once thought. Collision Less Likely Than Previously Estimated Earlier studies predicted the Milky Way-Andromeda collision would occur in about 4 to 4.5 billion years. But fresh data from a new study lowers that likelihood. Researchers now say there’s less than a…
