Who decides who can have nuclear arms?
Al Jazeera English
The US and Israel attacked Iran – saying it cannot have nuclear weapons – while the Islamic Republic denies trying to build one. The two are among nine countries armed with such weapons. So who decides who can have nuclear arms? And have the Israeli and US attacks increased the risks that more countries will want them?

Israeli space launch vehicle Shavit sends a military intelligence satellite into space in March 2023. The same Shavit rocket can launch ballistic missiles, including the nuclear-capable, three-stage Jericho III intermediate-range ballistic missile. The Jericho III reportedly has a range exceeding 4,000 kilometers, enough to reach all of Iran, Pakistan, Europe, and western Russia. Israel has not acknowledged the existence of its nuclear weapon arsenal despite being widely known. (Credit: Israel Defense Ministry)Share

It shows the country’s single-minded determination to get the bomb no matter what it took, including stealing nuclear explosives and bomb components from the United States and violating a major nuclear arms control treaty to which Israel is a party—and lying about it.
