Iran’s nuclear activities have raised concerns among Israel, the United States, and other Western nations. Iran’s enrichment of uranium, which could potentially be used in the development of nuclear weapons, has drawn particular attention. International monitors have been denied access to Iran’s uranium enrichment program, further heightening suspicions.
The trilateral defense and security pact between Australia, the UK, and the US, known as AUKUS, aims to enhance stability rather than create conflict, according to the US Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. AUKUS is not designed to trigger an arms race, as nuclear submarines are permitted under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and Australia has no intention of becoming a nuclear weapons state.
