Nuclear Risks and Realities: Nonproliferation in a Shifting Global Order
Description
Visit us at Network2020.org.
In June, strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran’s nuclear facilities reignited one of the most dangerous questions in global security: how do you stop a country determined to keep its nuclear options open? What followed has tested not only Iran’s willingness to abide by international limits, but also the credibility of the entire nonproliferation system.
In this episode, Kelsey Davenport, Director for Nonproliferation Policy at the Arms Control Association, explains how Iran’s program reached this point, what the strikes may have changed inside Tehran, and why the erosion of global arms control frameworks makes this moment so precarious. She also explores what tools—old and new—might still contain the risk of a wider nuclear cascade.
