ARTIC = IRAN must prepare a NUCLEAR response Strategy agz ANY US or US-LED "UNCONVENTIONAL ATTACK", e.g. CYBERWAR [STuxNet]?, SPECOPS, etc. as SUBJECTIVELY/AMBIGUOUSLY DEFINED; IRAN NEEDS THE NATIONAL CAPACITY TO QUICKLY PRODUCE POTENT NUCLEAR WEAPONS, albeit not necessarily to use them.

Also, IRAN MUST BE ABLE TO REASONABLY OR RATIONALLY EXPLAIN HOW ITS SELF-PROCLAIMED "ENERGY-ONLY" NUCLEAR PROGRAMS WEIRDLY + MYSTERIOUSLY had Had HAD H-A-D HHHHAAAAADDDDDD, spelled H-A-T-T/Z-Z "HAD" D *** YOU, TO CONVERT INTO A NUCWEAPONS PROGRAM(S).

ARTIC AGAIN = And BTW, Iran SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH intended a NUCWEAPS Program all along???

#2 Trent Telenko's view is that Iran has had the opportunity to buy pre-enriched Uranium on the international black market, and therefore Iran is capable of building nuclear weapons. It is a mistake to view Iran's nuclear program in isolation; it must be considered alongside others, particularly North Korea's. He's been saying this for years now.

#3 Iran now has 30kg of enriched uranium

For peaceful breakout purposes, of course.

#4 So if a nuclear explosion was to occur at their storage facility, it'd mean they had an 'accident' right?

#5 Yeah, two thieves making a deal: Turkey and Iran. Good luck with the payments. Heh.

#6 Silentbrick: I would not rule out accident in the case of a nuclear explosion at an Iranian installation. Will Iran pour massive resources into the design of Safing, Arming, Fuzing, and Firing mechanisms? Is the Iranian leadership's goal a warhead first and foremost, content to fill in details later?

The first nuclear power might have learned this lesson the hard way:

#7 Is the Iranian leadership's goal a warhead first and foremost, content to fill in details later?

Given that some of their objectives str 1) to become the superior-power in the Mid East, and 2) develop an insurance policy to cover their world-wide 'al quds' activities, I'd say that's highly likely.
