⚡️🇺🇸🇩🇪 — The U.S. military hosted senior military representatives from eight nations at a conference in Germany last week, where participants discussed ways to strengthen security cooperation in the Middle East, a U.S. government official said Tuesday. Further details, including the scope and location of the meeting, were initially unclear — Deutsche Presse-Agentur.

➡️ Axios had earlier reported, citing Israeli sources, that senior military commanders from the United States, Israel and several Arab countries met in Germany to discuss the Iran war and ongoing regional tensions. CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper, who reportedly invited the participants, is said to have insisted that the U.S. military would not withdraw its troops from the Middle East despite Iranian attacks on U.S. bases. Alongside Cooper, the chiefs of staff of Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt took part.

⚡️⚛️🇰🇵 — The IAEA said in an August 28 report that North Korea has built a new uranium enrichment facility at its main Yongbyon nuclear complex, identifying a new two-storey building as the site’s second such facility by comparing state media photographs of a June visit by Kim Jong Un with satellite images taken during construction, with gas centrifuge cascades installed on both floors and capacity for up to 28 cascades.

The agency, which has had no inspectors in North Korea since 2009 and relied on satellite imagery and open-source material including North Korean state media photographs, also said there were indications that operations began in January at a uranium enrichment facility in Kangson, near Pyongyang, within an annex constructed in 2024, and that the developments violated UN Security Council resolutions.

➡️ IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in a statement to the Board of Governors in Vienna:

“The ongoing operation of enrichment facilities at Kangson and Yongbyon and the reported further expansion of the DPRK’s production of weapons-grade nuclear material is a cause for serious concern.”
