Iran Has Enough Highly Enriched Uranium for Six Nuclear Weapons

Iran has had enough material to make a working device for some time.

and Saddam has weapons of mass destruction.

As they have been saying for ages….the issue is the delivery system.

Getting the materials to implode on a target is the key. I guess you could make a bomb and deliver it in a truck or ship. But it is likely that the radiation coming from it would be noticeable from a distance.

Certainly, Iranian missile tech is not at the stage to deliver this kind of weapon.

I would be most concerned with some type of dirty bomb delivered in a container.

In any event, it appears that the increased stories about this stuff portend an attack by Israel or the US. My concern there is that a bunker buster bomb is going to create a dirty bomb effect in some Iranian city. That kind of mistake would backfire on Israel.

More warmongering from the WSJ. Iran does not want a nuke! WSJ is just another Never Trumper neocon rag trying sell weapons for its MIC masters.

Trump will broker an Israeli/Iranian deal. The WSJ can’t accept that prospect.

Blaming Trump.

Gee, thanks, Obama.

I’ll bet Mossad has an eyeball on this, shouldn’t be long now.

I suspect you are right. I also suspect the Iranian facilities are so far underground that even a bunker-buster bomb wouldn't destroy them.

"Iran does not want a nuke!"

Why, they wouldn't take one if you gave it to them! They just want to focus on more conventional explosive devices.

"The increase in Iran’s holdings of uranium enriched to 60%, or nearly weapons grade"

Weapons-grade uranium is at least 90%-enriched U-235.

[Zathras]

Tel Aviv is the only one in range...maybe.
Their short range missiles don’t have the capacity to lift a warhead.

[equaviator]

Give them some daisy cutters but deliver them from a safe altitude.

[Gen.Blather]

If an Iranian leader has the bomb and doesn’t immediately use it, he’ll likely be murdered and replaced by someone who will use it. The anti Israeli and American propaganda has created a beast even the creators can’t manage.

[posterchild]

Possible but if that was their main goal they wouldn't bother enriching U235 content.

C-130 rollin' down the strip.
Airborne MOAB gonna take a little trip.

60% will not go boom. Cannot.

[whitney69]

“...and Saddam has weapons of mass destruction...

You’re right, he did. And he used them.

Well, lets give them a 7th, special delivery, and watch them all go off together.
