Reducing nuclear risk
VERTIC has published a new analysis, co-authored by ONN Senior Analyst Jaewoo Shin, of the uranium enrichment facility shown during Kim Jong Un’s publicised 3 June visit to an additional nuclear facility.
On 26 May 2026, ONN Assistant Analyst and Coordinator Benjamin Ashraf was interviewed by the Algerian TV – AL24News, in a special discussion concerning the prospects for renewed diplomacy over Iran’s nuclear programme, arguing that both Washington and Tehran remain entrenched in positions that leave little room for meaningful compromise. However, he argued that Iran retains a key advantage: it can disrupt the Strait of Hormuz faster than the United States can stabilise it, a dynamic reflected in the forthcoming MoU and Tehran’s negotiating posture.
In a recent article for The New Arab, ONN Assistant Analyst Linus Höller provided expert analysis on the risks facing nuclear facilities during armed conflict amid renewed attention to nuclear infrastructure across the Middle East and North Africa.
