Israelisches Atomprogramm: Geheimnisvolle Baustelle

Beim am Wochenende angegriffenen Reaktor nahe des israelischen Dimona wird seit mehreren Jahren gegraben und gebaut. Über den genauen Zweck der Anlage gibt es nur Mutmaßungen.

@RichardJMurphy Thanks for this - but I'm terrified by the fact that Israel really does have weapons of mass destruction. Lets not forget #MordechaiVanunu

Nuclear Notebook: #Israeli #nuclear weapons, 2022

By Hans M. Kristensen, Matt Korda | January 17, 2022

"Conducting research on Israeli nuclear weapons has historically been very challenging, not least because Israel purposely does not acknowledge its own possession of nuclear weapons. Moreover, Western governments normally do not include Israel in their descriptions of nuclear-armed states. Additionally, Israeli nuclear whistleblowers have faced significant penalties; in 1986, former nuclear technician #MordechaiVanunu was kidnapped by Israeli intelligence services and spent 18 years in prison after giving a detailed interview about Israel’s nuclear program to the Sunday Times (Myre 2004). This chilling effect means that individuals with knowledge of Israel’s nuclear program have been understandably reluctant to provide on-the-record information, which dilutes the ability of open-source researchers to analyze Israel’s nuclear forces. Thankfully, over the past two decades, historians like Avner Cohen and William Burr have contributed invaluable research that has made previously unknown nuances of Israel’s opaque nuclear policy available to the public.1

"Additionally, since 1997 a US law known as the Kyl-Bingaman Amendment has prohibited US companies from publishing satellite imagery at a resolution that is 'no more detailed or precise than satellite imagery of Israel that is available from commercial sources.' For decades, this has meant that the majority of commercially available satellite imagery of Israel has been limited to a resolution of approximately two meters, making it very difficult to analyze in detail. However, in June 2020, the US Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs Office announced that it would now allow commercial imagery providers to offer enhanced imagery of Israel at a resolution of 0.4 meters (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2020). The move was made in order to bring American imagery providers in line with their foreign counterparts, which had already been producing imagery at that level for several years. As a result, we have incorporated higher-resolution imagery into this article."

Nuclear Notebook: Israeli nuclear weapons, 2022

This issue of the Nuclear Notebook examines Israel’s nuclear arsenal, which we estimate includes a stockpile of roughly 90 warheads. Israel neither officially confirms nor denies that it possesses nuclear weapons, and our estimate is therefore largely based on calculations of Israel’s stockpile of weapon-grade plutonium and its inventory of operational nuclear-capable delivery systems.

For decades, #Israel has been the only country in the Near/Middle East with nuclear weapons. #MordechaiVanunu

Is this conflict a sign of confidence from #Iran they have a nuclear weapon now as well?
