How many nuclear wepons are there in the world today??
398746
About 27,000. About 13,000 of these are ready to use, the rest are in long-term storage.  Of the 27,000 total warheads, 26000 are in the US and Russia.

The U.S. has three kinds of ICBM:\n\nMinuteman III: Up to 3 warheads, each with 335-350Kt yield. \nPeacekeeper: Up to 10 warheads, each with 300kt yield \nTrident D-5 (sub-launched): Up to 8 warheads, each with 300-475kt yield.\n\nDue to arms control treaties, few ICBMs carry their full number of warheads anymore.  Most or all of the land-based force is being converted down to only carry a single warhead per missile, and I think the sub force is being reduced to 5 warheads per missile.  Yield of the individual warheads remains the same.\n\nYou don't see many of the big multi-megaton warheads anymore.  Modern ICBMs are accurate enough that they don't need a warhead that large to destroy hardened targets.

estimated world population at time of post 6,593,337,406 as per http://www.ibiblio.org/lunarbin/worldpop\n\nmultiplied by ten = 65,933,374,060\n\nthat's my guess

There isn't any danger. Because IAEA is observing all nuclear activities in these two countries. So, Will there be any danger? But there are some countries that are making nuclear weapons but no one prohibit them of countinuing their destructive plans. Honest!

Check this article: http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=1158\n\n"Tehran is planning a massive hole-in-the-corner program, using 155,000 centrifuges to produce 3-5 nuclear bombs a year by the end of 2007..."

What anyone has to say about underground tests conducted by USA.  The same God who saved mankind from the radioactivity and damage to earth locations near and opposite side of earth to sites of blasts will save now also.  Who cared at that time for others?\nUnited States Nuclear Tests \nJuly 1945 through September 1992\nOn December 7, 1993 and June 27, 1994, the Secretary of \nEnergy declassified information related to previously unannounced nuclear weapons tests; simultaneous detonations associated with nuclear weapons tests; yields of an additional 77 atmospheric tests; and yields of 20 underground nuclear weapons tests that released radioactivity detected off the Nevada Test Site.\n\nVR

If they are stupid enough to fire a nuke I think all nations with nukes should respond in kind. A few dozen big mushroom clouds coming from all the major powers would have a startling effect on all the countries who want to have a nuke.  Imagine it. One nuke from every country that has the capability to hit Iran. That would be like a huge "WHO IS NEXT" sign for the world to see.

http://www.fas.org/nuke/guide/israel/nuke/\n\nThis is an estimate of the size of the nuclear program of Israel up to 2000; the text is in the Federation of  American Scientists site. The number in the graph shows something around 200 !\n\nMind you that the text cites that in the Yom Kipur war probably around 13-14 atomic bombs were build. Apparently, none of them were used, since the war was using only conventional weapons.\n\nWe all know that only two atomic bombs were used in history though, both of them in Japan by the american army.

Get your facts straight.  The IAEA just issued a report on the amount of spent plutonium discovered upon inspection, which was far more than was required for a peaceful energy program.  If Iran wants to act like a stubborn child they deserve to be treated like one.
