战争结束了,粉尘留了下来:伊拉克的贫铀遗产,35年后
两场战争中,伊拉克境内发射了400多吨贫铀。随之而来的是数百处受污染地点、堆满放射性金属的废品场,以及围绕费卢杰和巴士拉出生缺陷的激烈科学之争。证据表明了什么,没有表明什么,以及在新战争使用同样弹药之际,这一切为何再次变得重要。

冲突、其后果以及战争规则。

Washington has reportedly told Gulf allies to prepare for a short, intense conflict after the 3 November elections. Tehran has offered a two-day plan to reopen Hormuz. An editorial analysis of the two outcomes that are actually possible, what each would mean in Europe, the Middle East and America, and which one ordinary people should hope for.
The European Central Bank kept rates on hold, warned that a longer energy shock could push inflation higher and signalled a possible rise in December. On the same day Christine Lagarde said she will leave in February. Here is what that means for Euribor, mortgages and savings.
Iran says the Strait of Hormuz could reopen within two days if Washington meets its terms. A letter from JD Vance, Qatari mediators and a list of conditions now stand between the world economy and its most important sea lane.
On 3 November Americans choose a new House, a third of the Senate and 39 governors. The result will not change the Federal Reserve overnight, but it will shape the Iran war, tariffs and the dollar. Here is the chain from Washington to a household in Europe.
Brent crude closed October on course for a 15% monthly rise after two tanker incidents in the Strait of Hormuz. Here is how a mine in a sea lane 4,000 km away becomes a higher bill for diesel, food and heating, and what to watch after 3 November.
In June 2000 a committee set up by the Prosecutor of the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal reviewed the NATO bombing. On depleted uranium it was brief: no specific treaty ban, unsettled science, no investigation. The question it closed in The Hague has stayed open in Belgrade ever since.
The 30 mm round fired by an A-10 aircraft is about the length of a hand. Inside it sits a slim rod of depleted uranium weighing roughly 300 grams, and the aircraft’s cannon fires thousands of them a minute. In 1999 about 31,000 were fired at targets in Kosovo, southern Serbia and Montenegro.
2026年6月19日,内博伊沙·帕夫科维奇将军的家属在贝尔格莱德第二基层法院对北大西洋公约组织提起诉讼。据Kosovo Online报道,他的女儿玛丽亚·帕夫科维奇对记者说,诉状约有一千页。“爸爸希望这件事能做成,”她说,“这是又一次努力,哪怕只争取到一小部分正义。”
1953年5月19日凌晨,美国在内华达沙漠的一座塔上引爆了一枚代号“哈里”的3.2万吨当量核装置。风向变了。一团放射性云向东飘去,在犹他州摩门教小镇圣乔治上空停留了两个多小时。那年春天,在锡达城附近牧场下风处吃草的数千只羊死亡。当沉降的规模被公开后,媒体给这次试验起了个新名字:“肮脏的哈里”。
