#1 Smuggling a few containers of yellowcake?

Desperate. The Iranian mines must be nearly depleted?

#3 That's OK Wilson. You can do your Muslim terrorist PR work someplace else. Like at the DNC headquarters.

#4 The Iranian uranium is only about a third as concentrated as the stuff from the Congo. It's much easier to use Congolese uranium for a bomb than Iranian uranium, which needs extensive refinement. Also, most of the Congolese uranium is already partially enriched. It's radioactive enough to use in a crude "dirty bomb".

#5 ...IIRC the uranium in the first three US atomic bombs came from the Congo because of its relative purity.

#6 This has got to be the dumbest thing they've ever done.

Why would they do this? Did the US bait the Iranians with Congolese help?

Suppose there will be any consequences?
