Global nuclear tensions are escalating, reminiscent of Cold War fears, as countries like India, China, and Russia ramp up their arsenals. India recently commissioned the INS Arighaat, its second nuclear-capable submarine, to bolster defense against regional threats, though it lags behind China's advanced fleet. The situation is further complicated by Russia's ongoing military actions in Ukraine, with President Putin having placed nuclear deterrent forces on high alert, raising concerns of a renewed arms race. UN Secretary General's spokesperson highlighted the dangerous rhetoric surrounding nuclear weapons, urging commitment to disarmament and caution against miscalculations. Meanwhile, Iran and Russia maintain military-technical cooperation, dismissing U.S. interference as unwarranted. The UN disarmament chief warned that arms transfers should adhere to international law, as these actions contribute to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
