The CNN report traces the origins of Israel’s policy of nuclear ambiguity, likely established by a 1969 oral agreement between Richard Nixon and Golda Meir: Washington would turn a blind eye to the program in exchange for Israel refraining from acknowledging it or conducting public tests. The program’s secrets were revealed in 1986 by technician Mordechai Vanunu, who was later imprisoned for 18 years. Meanwhile, U.S. pressure to end the policy of denial has grown, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that most of the world believes Israel possesses nuclear weapons. The report warns that Iran’s possession of around 1,000 pounds of highly enriched uranium, combined with an estimated 50% chance that it could obtain a bomb within three years, may prompt Israel and the United States to abandon ambiguity and announce an explicit deterrence strategy.
