Iran attack could be the death knell for nuclear non-proliferation
- In June 2025, the US and Israel launched air strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, marking a significant escalation in regional tensions.
- These attacks followed the US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 and stemmed from concerns over Iran potentially developing nuclear weapons covertly or openly.
- The strikes damaged some Iranian nuclear infrastructure but left uncertain the fate of key assets like centrifuges and highly enriched uranium stockpiles, while Iran passed laws ceasing cooperation with the IAEA.

- These events severely undermined the nuclear non-proliferation regime, risking a broader arms race in the Middle East, and underscored the urgent need for renewed diplomacy and international commitment.
