The Next Nuclear Era Demands a New Security Alliance

As tensions persist in the Middle East, the moment offers a reminder of how quickly geopolitical instability can place critical energy infrastructure at risk. 

The last few months of global headlines have underscored a broader reality: nuclear facilities, critical energy infrastructure, and other strategic assets are increasingly exposed to a rapidly evolving threat environment.

A recent drone strike near the United Arab Emirates’ Barakah Nuclear Power Plant should serve as a wake-up call for every country investing in the future of nuclear energy.
