Michael Karpin, Jewish Daily Forward: Revealing Israel's Nuclear Secrets
The Pentagon Declassifies a Surprising 1987 Report
In early February, the Pentagon declassified a 386-page report from 1987, exposing for the first time ever the actual depth of top-secret military cooperation between the United States and Israel — including, amazingly, information about Israel’s unacknowledged nuclear program.
In view of the caustic tension that has increased lately between Washington and Jerusalem, the timing of the publication’s declassification, after a long legal process, might raise a few eyebrows. I have some knowledge about the build-up process of Israel’s nuclear capacity and after reading the report in question I must express my astonishment: I have never seen an official American document disclosing such extensive revelation on subjects that until now were regarded by both administrations as unspeakable secrets.
WNU Editor: The world's media is focused on the Germanwings jet disaster and the war in Yemen .... but this news report on Israel's nuclear program is incredibly explosive, and unprecedented.

Update: This revelation will now all but guarantee a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. If Israel has nukes .... why not us .... I can see that argument and position coming from Iran right now.

They are setting up for the announcement that Iran wants Israel to sign a deal as well. That will be a difficult issue for Congress to overlook in their demands for whatever it is they want out of the Iranian deal. So yes, probably a bit of revenge there.
One upshot of this brilliant move is the Israelis have no idea how compromised their arsenal is and are put into a "use or lose" situation at the slightest hint of Iranian offensive moves.
Anybody else get the feeling the Middle East is REALY about to blow up? Everyday it seems like another nail is driven in the coffin where reasonable diplomacy is entombed.
