Declassified U.S. documents reveal Israel's nuclear capabilities at Dimona facility

Declassified U.S. documents reveal that the government was aware of Israel's ability to produce weapons-grade plutonium at the Dimona nuclear facility. This information raises questions about previous U.S. statements regarding Israel's nuclear capabilities. The disclosure comes amid ongoing tensions between Israel and Iran, highlighting the complexities of nuclear policy in the region. The documents suggest a more nuanced understanding of Israel's nuclear program than previously acknowledged. This development contrasts with earlier U.S. assurances that Israel did not possess the capability to produce nuclear weapons. The new information may impact international discussions surrounding nuclear non-proliferation in the Middle East.
