#4 Maybe the scrubbed all their equipment with Arm & Hammer, and applied insh'Allah techniques to rinsing... a little bit of borax can go a long way to messing up one's nukes.

#5 we don't know what reactor the rods were loaded into

it surely wasn't the Bushehr reactor because bad fuel rods in that one (a 1000 MW) would stop the production of electricity

so, if they placed the fuel rods in a reactor, was it a pint sized experimental reactor or a Potempkin reactor or a reactor that we don't know about

#6 IMO Iran is prob being smart - by the time it formally declares to the World Community it has enough of a reliable, "Civilian-only" NucEnergy Prog in place IT WILL ALSO COVERTLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY MASS PRODUCE INDIGENOUS NUCBOMBS.

Lest we fergit, IIRC it was MOUD? = Iran whom said that Iran would like to emulate the CivEnerNucProg of JAPAN + EGYPT [ + other Countries].

Wehell, what is "JAPAN"?

"JAPAN" = lots of CIVILIAN NUC ENERGY PLANTS in operat all over the Country while also possessing the PARALLEL national contingency ability/proficiency to quickly produce ADVANCED NucBombs + LRBM Sys, etc. in short lead time iff the Armies of the the USSR + Red China ever come charging over the hill.

Ditto "EGYPT", although an Egyptian NucBomb is perceived by Perts as most likely being less sophisticated that a Nippon NucBomb would be.

THE ABOVE = RADICAL ISLAMIST MILTERRS/
NGOS/TANGOS W-I-L-L HAVE NUKE BOMBS = US HAS LOST THE GWOT IRREGARDLESS OF ITS TACTICAL SUCCESSES IN AFPAK OR ELSEWHERE.


* TOPIX > WHAT IFF IRAN GETS THE BOMB?

Also from TOPIX > WORLD LEADERS TO COMBAT NUCLEAR TERRORISM AS IRAN ANNOUNCES NEW STRIDES.

Eyes wide open.
