Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The global nuclear threat level is elevated due to several concerning trends: Iran's potential nuclear advancements despite diplomatic efforts, the UK's and France's unprecedented coordination of nuclear arsenals in response to perceived threats, and the general breakdown of arms control treaties. These developments occur in a context where crisis communication channels are diminishing, and nuclear doctrines are becoming more aggressive. Historically, such conditions have led to increased instability and risk of miscalculation, reminiscent of Cold War-era tensions.
