๐Ÿ”โ˜ข Ex-Pentagon advisor says Iran can build nukes in tunnels, no test needed

MIT professor and former Pentagon advisor Ted Postol says Iran can convert enriched uranium into weapons-grade material in tunnels spanning a few hundred square meters.

๐Ÿ‘‰ This way, the Iranian nuclear program could be absolutely undetectable and unstoppable.

With 90% enriched uranium, Iran could build up to 11 nuclear weapons without ever testing them โ€” exactly like the Hiroshima bomb. The US never tested that design either.

"So I can have 10-11 weapons without testing them that I can deliver with total confidence that they will work," Postol stressed.

No amount of bombing could reach Iran's tunnels. (https://t.me/geopolitics_prime/52341) The US severely underestimated Tehran's capabilities.
