US Nuclearโ weaponsโ Testโ Appears Imminent following Trump Announcement
WASHINGTON D.C. – Novemberโค 3rd, 2025, 8:18 p.m. – Indications suggest theโ United States is preparing to conduct a nuclear weapons test in the coming days, shortly after President Donald Trump โขannounced the resumption of such testing.While the tests are not expected to involve nuclearโ explosions, the move signals a meaningful shift in US nuclear policy.
According to reports from Newsweek, โciting aerospace engineer Marco Langbroek of โDelft University of Technology, navigation warnings have been issued for maritime shipping โindicating an impending launch of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile โฃfrom Vandenberg Space Force Base โin California. The missile isโข projected toโฃ target the Ronald Reagan Test โSite on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands, potentially as early as Wednesday or Thursday. This trajectory would mirror a similar, warhead-free test conducted in May, where a missileโ traveled approximately 6,760 kilometers west from California.
Last week, President Trump stated on Truth Social his intention to resume nuclearโ weapons testing, citing testing programs in other countries. “because โof other โฃcountries’ testing programs, I have โdirected the War Department to begin โtesting our nuclear โweapons on the same basis,” he wrote.
Energy Minister chris Wrightโค clarified on Sunday, โspeakingโ with Fox News, thatโ the tests would โฃnot involve โฃnuclear detonations. The Department of Energy โoversees many aspects of the US nuclearโ arsenal.
The US military routinely tests its intercontinental ballistic missiles, but the last full-scale โnuclearโ test occured in September 1992โข at the Nevada Test Site, resulting in a visible mushroom cloud.
The US currently โฃmaintainsโค a stockpile of 400 Minuteman III missiles deployedโ in silos across โขColorado, montana, Nebraska, North โdakota, and Wyoming.โข Introduced inโ the early 1960s, the Minutemanโ III has a range of โขnearly 6,000 kilometers andโ is frequently enough referredโ to as the “doomsday rocket.”
