Is Iran About to Test a Nuclear Bomb In North Korea?
By Reza Kahlili
Published December 30, 2010
On December 24, a research report from the South Korean Foreign Ministry Institute indicated that North Korea would carry out another nuclear bomb test after the beginning of the year. -- South Korean media reported earlier this month that the North was digging a tunnel in preparation for such a nuclear test.
At the same time, reports from inside Iran indicate that a team of Iranian nuclear scientists have been sent to North Korea and that the two governments have agreed on a joint nuclear test in North Korea with a substantial financial reward for the Kim Jong-Il government.
It is no secret that Iran and North Korea are collaborating in a ballistic missile program. The North Koreans provided Iran with the technology and know-how to build the Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missile, which is a copy of the Nodong-1 missile. The Shahb- 3 missile has a range of 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) covering all of the U.S. military bases in the Middle East and the entire country of Israel.

P!
PING A ROO
Amazing for a country that has disband their nuclear bomb aspirations years ago. I read it in the media so it must have been true.
If true:
Duck and cover coming shortly to Tel Aviv and Rome... and let’s not leave out NYC ... all the places Iran loves to hate. Calling the 12th Imam...
I wonder what would go bang if a Tomahawk from a sub happened to wander down that tunnel. Hopefully the stuxnet virus may have some fun too.
Remind everybody that George Bush’s ‘Axis of Evil’ still has 2 countries left.
There are so many potentially serious implications for this action.
Let’s have some fun for a minute. Let’s assume: there is a test, it is completely successful and the world is shown incontrovertible proof that the bomb was made in Iran.
Now comes the fun part: what will nobama’s reaction be?
A Pu bomb is much harder to blow up than a U235 bomb. The tolerances for the sphere must be very precise, else you get a fizzle, which is what happened to the NoKo test.
Iran is using Uranium. Unlike Pu, the shape of the U235 doesn’t really matter once it reaches critical mass. A simple rail-gun will set it off.
The US nor the USSR ever dared to put U235 into an ICBM missile. It was too dangerous. The G-forces during launch could set it off.
By the late 1950s the US and USSR abandoned U235 bombs entirely because they were too dangerous to handle.
But if you’re a mullah who doesn’t dare about the occassional ‘work accident’, well..
Too bad they aren’t testing a bomb ON North Korea.
Iran can have a bomb, without a nuclear test taking place on Iranian soil.
Lots of bad juju here. It would present a serious challenge even to a competent administration.
To hell with it. How about WE ‘test’ a Nuclear bomb in NK?
It would probably be looked upon as an improvement by the locals.
Good! With any luck at all, the Iranians will infect NoKo with Stuxnet...
Does anyone here have the UTM or Lat/Long coordinates of that tunnel?
0 says we can absorb an attack or some such nonsense.
I’m going to start a nuclear bomb shelter for the home business; similar to the ones that were around in the 50’s.
Excellent idea. And we should use one of our own naval vessels as ground zero:
"Iranian scientists are just going to North Korea to test a peaceful nuclear energy program, obviously."
Exactly.
I hope the Persian perverts screw up and blow Pyongyang straight to HELL where it belongs...
We tested a couple in Japan a few years ago why not test a few more in the DPRK?
