I was thinking 20 square miles is a great area.
Sounds a bit like an exageration to me.
That;s an awful big explosion for something non-nuclear.
Lots of folks working on this idea and there's no reason it can't be used to make a bomb or two.
One would think that a 20 square mile blast 30 miles from Teheran would have made more news (heard and felt), and had some some camera footage (I am sure Iranians have camera phomes). I think this thing is exagerated.
