Israel | SIPRI
Israel continues to maintain its long-standing policy of nuclear opacity: it neither officially confirms nor denies that it possesses nuclear weapons.
www.sipri.orgThe Jewish state is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, but has not publicly confirmed this, and remains outside the NPT framework. Estimates commonly place the arsenal near ninety warheads, spread across missiles, aircraft, and submarines. Decades of ambiguity define Israel's nuclear posture. The IAEA does not apply safeguards to its program. Independent analyses indicate ongoing modernization. Policy circles and media continue to debate estimates.
