During a live transmission, debris unexpectedly fell in an Iranian television studio, an event that transpired as Israel was reportedly conducting airstrikes against state media outlets. This alarming occurrence highlights the escalating tensions in the region, particularly concerning nuclear capabilities.
Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has consistently asserted that Iran is nearing the completion of a nuclear weapon. However, he has not publicly acknowledged a widely accepted belief that Israel possesses its own nuclear arsenal, which is thought to date back to the 1960s.
According to the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, Israel is estimated to hold approximately 90 nuclear warheads. Notably, Israel has not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), an international accord aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons.
Experts suggest that Israel's nuclear operations are primarily centered around a facility located in Dimona, situated in the Negev desert. The nation maintains a policy of ambiguity regarding its nuclear capabilities, consistently refraining from confirming or denying the existence of nuclear weapons.
