The U.S. Defense Department was blocked Friday by citizen pressure in Indiana from considering a nuclear program test, called "Divine Strake," in that state. Earlier citizen opposition in Nevada and Utah forced the Pentagon to scrap their plans for conducting the test at the Nevada Test Site.Now the Pentagon is focusing on the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The last remaining legislative opportunity to block the test is next Tuesday, September 5, when the defense appropriations bill, H.R. 5631, will be on the Senate floor.
This test is a rehearsal for a nuclear strike against Iran. The test itself would not involve nuclear material, but would be a simulation of a nuclear strike.
