Experts Warn of Nuclear Risks Amid Iran Conflict and Potential Use of Radiological Devices

Two weeks into the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, experts express concern about potential nuclear risks. Iran's nuclear program has remained below weapons-grade, but ongoing military strikes and infrastructure damage may prompt Tehran to reconsider its strategy. While full nuclear war is deemed unlikely, specialists warn that prolonged conflict could lead to the use of radiological 'dirty bombs,' which combine explosives with radioactive material, causing contamination and panic without nuclear-scale destruction.
