Even if they don't have a nuke (and we assume they haven't otherwise acquired one), does Iran have the materials to make a dirty bomb?

[-] Crismus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Iran should have plenty of material for a dirty bomb from their joint Russian reactor project many many years back. The problem is that the US can fingerprint Uranium to where it was mined after a blast due to each mine having their own set of impurities based on the region the material came from.

If the he material used in the peaceful electrical reactor project ends up in a bomb, it could be used as Casus Belli for a Nuclear Reaponse against Iran and Russia by Israel and the US.

But there won't be any nuclear response.
