Imagine if Iran used that weapon, what 24 ballistic missiles carrying 5+ warheads each with more yield than Nagasaki or Hiroshima are used to return fire. Imagine Iran turning to glass.

When the Soviet Union collapsed we bought all of their spent fuel rods to prevent them from being sold on the black market
Iran has been operating a the Bushehr nuclear power plant for fifteen years. That means they have lots of spent fuel rods.
