Overview

• Gabbard posted a three-minute video on June 10 from Hiroshima, warning of a “nuclear holocaust” caused by rising tensions among nuclear powers.
• She compared the single 1945 atomic bomb to today’s one-megaton warheads, warning that a modern strike could kill millions in minutes.
• Gabbard accused political leaders of stoking conflict out of confidence in underground shelters that ordinary people would lack.
• Her warning followed Iran’s June 9 rejection of a U.S. proposal to cap uranium enrichment during negotiations led by the Trump administration.
• It remains unclear when and how the video was produced, and Gabbard did not attend the June 8 Camp David meeting on the Iran nuclear crisis.
