Global nuclear proliferation and instability risks
Overview
The United Nations has warned that the world is entering its most dangerous nuclear era since the Cold War. UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted that nuclear arsenals are being modernized and expanded, while the expiration of the New START treaty in February 2026 has left the strategic arsenals of the United States and Russia without binding legal limits for the first time in over fifty years.
Guterres emphasized that the global nuclear stockpile exceeds 12,000 warheads, with a significant portion in high operational readiness. He also highlighted how emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and cyber capabilities, increase the risk of miscalculation.
Following these warnings, observers noted that the Doomsday Clock is at its closest point to midnight in its 80-year history, signaling a level of danger that surpasses many perils encountered during the Cold War era.
