IAEA to Discuss Israel’s Secret Nuclear Weapons Arsenal

HeadlineMay 10, 2010

The International Atomic Energy Agency has tentatively announced plans to discuss Israel’s nuclear weapons program for the first time ever. Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with nuclear weapons, but the country has never officially acknowledged its program. Analysts say the IAEA meeting could put Israel into a difficult position. Israel has been pushing the international community to take stern action to prevent Iran from getting atomic weapons, but at the same time it has brushed off calls to come clean about its own nuclear capabilities.
