Nuclear War

Despite Iran's repeated assurances at the UN that it is not pursuing nuclear weapons, regional tensions and skepticism persist, particularly given Iran's advanced uranium enrichment capabilities. Meanwhile, North Korea continues to expand its nuclear arsenal, and Russia's aggressive rhetoric and actions, including potential space-based nuclear capabilities, exacerbate global instability. The erosion of arms control agreements, such as the INF Treaty and uncertainties surrounding New START, further undermine strategic stability. Additionally, advancements in AI and other technologies introduce new complexities to nuclear deterrence and risk management, while traditional crisis communication channels remain underdeveloped or strained.
