File under: Govt of Iran

For Stinky stuff and Giggles, lets say its a given they have built a 10+ KT dirty nuke.

But I'd bet y'all saying they could never get it into the USA.

So let me share some publicly available historical info. Back in 2002, then Senator Biden was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He asked a few US nuclear labs IF a terrorist group could construct an Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) nuclear weapon using nothing but commercially obtainable parts. It took them just a few months to report back YES and with a working model. They also did so without any illegal activities and avoided setting off any NEST warning flares.

Then Biden had them bring their home-built device to the Senate, minus the Nuke source.

See congressional record CREC-2002-06-26
Start reading at Page 11 bottom right and continues. But the real interesting part is page 13 lower left column and continues.

So the question is NOT IF, BUT WHEN & WHERE a Iranian type Nuke will be popped. Followed by what will Tehran look like 30 days later.

#2 Page 13 is a good read.

"Late in 2001, two containers containing enormous amounts of radioactive strontium-90 were found by
hunters in the woods of the Republic of
Georgia. The sources were so hot that
they melted the snow for yards around,
leading the three woodsmen to cart
them off to warm their tent."
