Physicists don't want you to know this, but it's possible to make a crude nuclear bomb with 60% enriched uranium. The IAEA estimates Iran already has about half a ton of 60% enriched stock. If Iran was smart and planned ahead (and all evidence suggests they do), they could have designed delivery systems to turn the 60% enriched uranium they already have into a crude nuclear weapon. 90%+ enrichment is preferred because it creates much more efficient explosions and a less bulky warhead, but it's completely feasible to build a nuke using 60% enriched stock. Iran could build 5-10 nuclear weapons using their existing stockpiles of 60% and they'd have a maximum yield of ~1-5 kilotons each (Hiroshima was 15 kilotons). It would be technically challenging but there's no reason to think they haven't developed this possibility in case their centrifuges were destroyed and the decision was made to go nuclear.

Interesting, keep me posted
>>532300320>split atom to make big boom is REAL goyim!Nice try
>>532300436Effects of a 1 kiloton explosion
>>532300320Ok using tactical nukes will get them strategic nuked. We will pull all of our assets away and nuke the Jesus out of them while they are celebrating in the streets.
>>532300320The point is that the crude bomb or dirty bomb won't be an extinction event.
>>532300681If they've developed it, it's probably to have a counter-strike capability in case they get tactical nuked first (say on their nuclear facilities) and it destroys their centrifuges/ability to refine further. The only reason to use 60% is if you lack the ability to refine it further.
>>532300962The question is, would 5-10 of these air-bursting above Israel be an extinction level event, for Israel?
>>532301502>>532300591>>532300320This is what they could do - the stuff of nightmares.
>>532302403>>532301502>>532300591Like Anon said, more likely that Israel would strike first. But then the Iranians would retaliate some time later and that would be horrendous.
>>532302657>>532302403>>532301671>>532301502>>532300591The huge fires that result will cause hurricane force winds. The temperatures will rise and be above the boiling point of water . Even if one goes underground to a shelter, they will be desiccated from the tremendous heat.Similar things happened in Hamburg, Germany in WW2
>>532302657In the tremendous fires of WW2 in Hamburg, Germany, people were not saved by going to a shelter. The heat is so intense and pervasive, it cooks everyone alive whether in a building or in an underground shelter.The same would happen in the even of an attack that causes a large fire from a weapon in the modern age.
>>532303170>>532302935>>532302657>>532302403There will be no firetruck anywhere that can help put out a large scale fire.In WW2 in Hamburg, Germany the firetrucks were abandoned because of the intense fire generated winds. Firefighters crawled on the street to get away from the fire. The fire generated winds were too intense for them to stand.

Iran should have 30+ hiroshima style bombs by now. They should have been enriching uranium since the 80s.

>>53230494495% is required for peak efficiency but 60% is good enough for a crude substitute
