Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

Recent developments highlight significant concerns regarding Iran's nuclear program, with reports of suspended cooperation with the IAEA and potential military responses from Israel. This situation is exacerbated by the modernization of nuclear arsenals, as seen with the completion of the B61-13 production unit, and geopolitical tensions, including Russia's potential support for Iran. These factors, combined with reduced diplomatic engagement and communication channels, contribute to an increased risk of nuclear escalation, reflecting a broader trend of deteriorating nuclear stability.
