    Are We Losing Control of Nuclear Weapons?
    Apr 29 2026

    For more than half a century, the world has relied on one system to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons: the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

    Today, that system is under unprecedented strain.

    With no binding limits on major nuclear powers, rising global tensions, and growing uncertainty around Iran’s nuclear program, the question is no longer whether the system is being tested—but whether it can still hold.

    In this conversation, Leila Bazzi MBN Editor in chief sits down with Henry Sokolski, Executive Director of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center and former U.S. Deputy for Nonproliferation Policy, to unpack:

    • Is the global nuclear system breaking down?
    • How close is Iran to a nuclear weapon—and do we even know?
    • Why inspections and safeguards may no longer be enough
    • The double standard at the heart of the nuclear order
    • What the upcoming NPT Review Conference could (or won’t) achieve
