Excellent points.

Bushehr is not the main attraction, it’s just one more site that the Israelis have to deal with.

But it does need to be dealt with. This is because even if there’s no weapons-grade production at Bushehr it still provides the ability to build ‘dirty’ bombs laced with lethal daughter isotoBpes.

You're correct. I wasn't even thinking of dirty conventional bombs. A reactor this size would produce tons of fission product and daughter isotopes. And of course they way the people have incorrectly frightened of anything radioactive, the mass trampling would be a problem.

I was only thinking of the big booms.
