Declassified U.S. documents reveal that the policy of ambiguity surrounding Israel’s nuclear arsenal emerged during the Cold War to keep Arab states from pursuing nuclear weapons, while allowing Washington and Tel Aviv to avoid officially acknowledging that Israel possesses them. U.S. lawmakers say the policy has become increasingly untenable and dangerous, particularly amid the war with Iran and the possibility that Saudi Arabia’s nuclear program could expand.

Experts warn that abandoning ambiguity could intensify the regional arms race, while some argue that if Iran becomes a nuclear power, Israel may need to declare its nuclear strategy.
