Risk Drivers

What is pushing the current reading.

The combination of Iran's call for nuclear disarmament and its severe water crisis after six years of drought presents a multifaceted risk that could lead to significant geopolitical instability. The nuclear disarmament stance may be a strategic move in response to international pressures, while the water crisis poses an immediate threat to domestic stability and could exacerbate regional tensions.
