#1 Just buy the necessary parts from Pakistain or NKor. Easy peasy!

#2 They’re not working with plutonium. It doesn’t take fancy parts or a lot of time to make an uranium gun bomb like the Hiroshima weapon. The US didn’t even bother to test it. It’s not as efficient as an implosion device, but they don’t care. It won’t take much to do Israel or establish MAD.

#3 1. With respect to a nuclear explosive device, a crucial step is the delivery. Iran has missiles but getting a bomb compact enough to be carried on a missile may be difficult. Also as Israel improves its anti missile capability, Israel could shoot the missile down. They could obviously use a plane but that would be less difficult to shoot down.

2. They could build a dirty bomb, i.e. a radioactive dispersal device, right now.

#7 Iran has ships and Tel Aviv, the second most populous city after Jerusalem and the economic center of Israel, is a seaport.
