The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is concerned over a missing radioactive device from Iran’s Bushehr nuclear reactor, Saudi-owned Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat reported on Thursday. Aside from the security concerns, at the forefront in the GCC’s mind is what impact the radioactive device—wherever it may be today—could have on water supplies. According to the newspaper, the device went missing after the car transporting it was stolen. Thankfully, the vehicle was recovered, but the radioactive nuclear device was not so lucky.
The GCC has contacted the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) over the incident—both organizations are concerned that Iran’s nuclear program may pollute the waters in the Gulf, Asharq al-Awsat quoted GCC Emergency Management Center chairman, Adnan al-Tamimi, as saying.

Hope Iran did not "misplace" it, so they can have plausible deniability if something happens.
I fear Iran misplaced it in Israel.
Ahh, gee whiz. Could happen to any crazy regime Obama made a deal with.
One wonders what particular type of device was lost. Fissile material? A radiography source? A medical source? An open radiography source or medical source in say a school or a store could cause real problems.
Perhaps a party favor for the inauguration
Interesting that Iran would announce the incident. Perhaps they had no choice and other parties knew about it.
Is that Persian for "Lost my guns in a horrible fishing accident"?
Or just before....
Be assured of this. This is Sunni bull shit aimed at Shiites. It has no basis in truth. ZER0
If it was misplaced, there’d be a security uproar in Iran right now because its regime might be targeted. So either the story is wrong, or the other Gulf regimes do have reason to worry, just not about the device being lost.
I suspect something to do with cesium.
Misplaced? Sure it was.
One time during the Bill Clinton Admin they were traveling from one place to the next by car and they FORGOT the guy with the nuclear football.
Saudis creating hysteria.
This is horse-dung.
This isn’t a tritium glow in the dark watch they’re talking about.
Check the overhead compartments on Air Force One
Yeah... they’d leave a car like this unguarded?
Though Moose have been known to be that stupid.
Dirty bombs in the making.
