Exclusive: Watchdog fears Tehran has key component to put bombs in missiles

The UN's nuclear watchdog has asked Iran to explain evidence suggesting that Iranian scientists have experimented with an advanced nuclear warhead design, the Guardian has learned.

The very existence of the technology, known as a "two-point implosion" device, is officially secret in both the US and Britain, but according to previously unpublished documentation in a dossier compiled by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iranian scientists may have tested high-explosive components of the design. The development was today described by nuclear experts as "breathtaking" and has added urgency to the effort to find a diplomatic solution to the Iranian nuclear crisis.

The sophisticated technology, once mastered, allows for the production of smaller and simpler warheads than older models. It reduces the diameter of a warhead and makes it easier to put a nuclear warhead on a missile. FULL ARTICLE

I bet Israel feels comfortable with this

There's no way Mossad is going to let Iran get a bomb. I would say the line in the sand has been crossed. If I were an Iranian nuclear scientist, I might sleep somewhere else come the next few new moons.

As for the economy - Here comes the other shoe.

A friend that just got back from doing some work in Afghanistan was telling me that he ran into a handful of contractors that had fled Iran in the 70s for greener pastures in the US. He said these guys are dead set on going straight to Iran after we wrap up in AFG...

Looks like they might get their wish.

I don't see the problem here. If these folks wanna build nukes let them build nukes. Heck, I say we send them a few to study on.

Bombs away.

I kinda like this post. You cant stop progress, but you can set it back if bad guys keep doing the wrong thing. My guess is that Israel will fix this little problem one day soon. God bless em.
Keep up the good work.
Kind regards,

We'll see. Historically, Israel has been tough, as they had to be for survival, but I'm not certain the leadership is in place there to do the dirty work should it need to be.

Haha, this isn't a 2A issue.

Iran with the bomb is a bad thing.

I think its pretty fair to say that we here in the U.S. dont have much to worry about with an Iranian nuke attack.. but our troops overseas and allies in the ME.. this is bad news.
