Israel’s supremacy is in danger
Let’s get the issue straight, what is Israel most afraid of – Iran’s nuclear enrichment program or the prospect of losing its nuclear monopoly in the region? Buoyed by the US’ accomodating approach to its increasing nuclear weapon arsenal, Israel has left no stone unturned to prevent its neighbours from building nuclear capacity in the Middle East. It has often worked jointly with the US to intentionally threaten its neighbours from going nuclear.
According to speculations, Israel might have around 100–150 nuclear warheads. However, the picture with respect to interest or commitment to go nuclear for other countries in the region is quite ambiguous. It starts with Iran. US National Intelligence Estimate judged with ‘full confidence’ that Iran had an active nuclear weapon program on 3rd December, 2007 (just as Iraq had a chemical weapons programme!). It further postulated that Iran would probably be technically capable of producing enough HEU (High Enriched Uranium) for a weapon by 2015. Syria is the second country under suspicion. Israel bombed an officially unidentified site in Syria on September 6, 2007; asserting that it was a nuclear reactor under construction. Press reports suspected North Korea of supplying nuclear reactor to Syria, evidence of which was found by the Institute of Science and International Security later on.
