Kelsey Davenport, Director of Nonproliferation Policy at the Arms Control Association, believes that the ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran could increase the risk of nuclear materials entering black markets and heighten the threat of nuclear terrorism.
Quoted by Fox News, Davenport said: "If the conflict causes significant instability, the risk of nuclear materials being stolen or diverted to unreported facilities increases."
However, she also pointed out that the current risk of nuclear terrorism or nuclear materials entering black markets remains low.
Ismail Bagae, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, earlier in April stated that Tehran is open to discussing uranium enrichment parameters with the United States and emphasized Iran's insistence on its right to use nuclear energy. He later clarified that Iran has no intention of transporting enriched uranium to the United States or any other country.
