"Whatever temporary setback this ill-conceived show of force was meant to achieve, it now risks causing a strategic unravelling of the wider nonproliferation regime and regional stability." — #AJOpinion by @olamideDIY ⤵️ aje.io/kubico
'Instead of curbing #nuclear proliferation, this short-sighted military action may well intensify the nuclear threat it sought to contain, making not just the Middle East but also the entire world a far more dangerous place.' aljazeera.com/opinions/2025/…
