Nuclear War

Recent reports indicate that Iran is nearing the capability to develop nuclear weapons, which has heightened tensions and concerns among global powers, particularly the United States and China, who have expressed a unified stance against Iran acquiring such capabilities. This development occurs in a broader context of deteriorating international arms control frameworks, such as the collapse of the INF Treaty and challenges to the New START Treaty, alongside modernization efforts by nuclear states and the emergence of new technologies that complicate strategic stability. The lack of effective communication channels and trust between major powers further exacerbates the risk of miscalculation or escalation in a crisis.
