Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The recent U.S. military strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, while temporarily setting back Iran's nuclear capabilities, have increased geopolitical tensions and may incentivize Iran to accelerate its nuclear ambitions. This action, combined with ongoing modernization of nuclear arsenals by major powers, breakdowns in arms control treaties, and the introduction of new technologies such as AI in military applications, contributes to a destabilized global nuclear environment. The lack of effective communication channels and diplomatic engagement further exacerbates the risk of miscalculation or escalation into a nuclear conflict.
