Why Are 30 US Congressmen Vocal About Israel's Nuclear Issue?
Thirty Democratic lawmakers in the United States are demanding transparency over Israel's alleged nuclear weapons programme, challenging decades of official silence from Washington. In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, they raised questions about Israel's possible warheads, uranium enrichment capability, and policies regarding nuclear weapons use amid growing Iran-Israel tensions.
The lawmakers argue that ambiguity surrounding Israel's nuclear capability weakens nuclear disarmament efforts across the Middle East. Analysts say the rare congressional initiative also raises wider questions about American double standards on nuclear policy, particularly as Washington continues pressuring Iran over its own nuclear ambitions.
