The targeted killing of Iranian nuclear scientists by U.S.-Israeli operations has intensified concerns regarding nuclear proliferation risks. With the deaths of senior figures from Iran's nuclear infrastructure, including Hossein Jabal Amelian of the SPND, experts warn about the challenges in replacing specialized knowledge.
Although the immediate risk of nuclear terrorism is deemed low, potential unrest could increase the chances of nuclear materials being redirected or sold. Iran retains over 200 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60%, sufficient for multiple weapons if processed further. The impact of these strikes on Iran's nuclear capabilities remains uncertain, as the future motivation of remaining scientists could be affected by fears of targeting.
