The only thing that is truly critical is high percentage U-235 that would be collectively greater than the critical mass for an atomic explosion.

Centrifuges are needed to make high percentage U-235.

Many years of nuclear testing (1945-1963) indicate other things need to be optimized.

Y’all forget plutonium bombs!
check this out

wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium-238#:~:text=Unlike uranium-235%2C it is non-fissile%2C which means,a chain reaction in a thermal-neutron reactor.

We can make lots of them.

Critical may be the wrong word to use here in the nuclear context? How about essential? (But then again I recall being below the median on the SAT.)

Outstanding. Another 3 to 4 weeks of this should be sufficient to decimate their threats. Then it’ll be up to the Iranian people to take care of the rest.

Then, declare victory and get the hell out of Iran before any Americans die and before gas prices reach $5 a gallon.

Plutonium bombs are much harder to set off than U235 bombs.

Plutonium pits are used to trigger nuke bombs.
can’t be that hard to get them going, reliably.

The bombing must be interrupting the flow of Iranian drones to Russia.

We wish. This thing is already taking on a life of its own, and bailing out on the Israelis and repressed Iranians would lead to the Stalin like tactics of the IRGC increasing and millions dead.

Israel doesn’t have the people necessary to suppress a country of 90 million very long, and suicide vests are always in style for the devout.

Which is a good example of how deeply we have to break their nuclear supply and parts line. Nearly every part and element of a nuclear weapon is well understood and difficult to produce unless you have a lot of advanced equipment
