Nuclear War

The current global nuclear threat level is elevated due to several factors: the acquisition of nuclear-capable fighter jets by the UK indicates a modernization of arsenals, while US military strikes on Iran have increased regional tensions and potentially incentivized nuclear proliferation. Additionally, the breakdown of diplomatic channels and treaties, such as the Iran nuclear deal, has reduced crisis communication and increased the likelihood of miscalculation. These developments, combined with ongoing geopolitical rivalries and the absence of robust arms control agreements, contribute to a heightened risk of nuclear conflict.
