The war between iran and israel has now reached a point from where it is very difficult to return. Meanwhile, the US attacks have further enraged iran, after which Iranian missiles have started wreaking havoc in Israel. Nuclear weapons are behind this crisis in the Middle East, for which iran has been fighting with israel and other Western countries for decades.
Israel believes that if iran makes nuclear weapons, it will become a threat to its existence. This is the reason why israel does not want to let iran become a nuclear power. However, israel itself is a nuclear power country. In such a situation, the question arises that how did israel make nuclear weapons? When did the world get to know about it and how many nuclear bombs does israel have at present?
How many nuclear weapons does israel have?
Israel is an undeclared country with nuclear capability. Undeclared because israel has never officially accepted that it has nuclear weapons and has never denied this. In such a situation, it is very difficult to estimate Israel's nuclear weapons. However, some experts believe that israel has its own secret nuclear weapons program and it is also expanding it rapidly. According to the Federation of American Scientists and Stockholm international Peace Research Institute, israel currently has 90 nuclear weapons. However, some people believe that israel has nuclear bombs equal to india and Pakistan. This was revealed by an email of former US Secretary of State Colin Powell, in which he said that israel has 200 nuclear bombs and all of them are targeted at Iran. This email of Powell was leaked.
How did israel make a nuclear bomb?
Israel is among those nuclear power countries of the world, which have not signed any Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The special thing is that Israel's nuclear program and its nuclear capabilities are largely unclear and the world has very little information about it. According to the information, israel established the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission in 1952 itself after its independence. Some people believe that in 1958, israel started making nuclear weapons near the city of Dimona and in 1967 it secretly developed the capability to make nuclear explosives. In 1973, America also became convinced that Israel has nuclear weapons. The special thing is that the material for making nuclear bombs was secretly sold to israel by the same countries, which are now a part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. These countries also ignored the fact that israel would use this material to make nuclear bombs.
