Nuclear War

The global nuclear risk has increased significantly with the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the potential for it to accelerate nuclear proliferation in the Middle East. The breakdown of diplomatic channels and arms control agreements, such as the JCPOA, has left Iran with fewer constraints, potentially pushing it towards nuclear armament. Simultaneously, China's secretive expansion of its nuclear capabilities highlights a broader trend of modernization and expansion of nuclear arsenals, which is compounded by the lack of effective communication channels and strategic stability measures. These developments, coupled with aggressive rhetoric and military posturing, contribute to a heightened risk of nuclear escalation.
