Nuclear War

The global nuclear threat level is elevated due to several factors: ongoing tensions with Iran over its nuclear program, as highlighted by recent claims involving high-profile figures like Trump and King Charles; North Korea's continued development of nuclear capabilities that could potentially bypass US defenses; and China's concerns about Japan's nuclear ambitions. These developments occur in a context of deteriorating arms control agreements and modernization of nuclear arsenals, which reduce strategic stability. Additionally, emerging technologies such as AI and autonomous weapons systems further complicate the strategic landscape, increasing the risk of miscalculation or escalation in a crisis.
