I’m still confused by all the messaging on this so I apologize if there is an easy answer.

Just curious what has stopped Iran from obtaining the Uranium needed from the black market and or an ally like Russia or China?


Seems like an easier route than building or making your own.

Paper trail? Russia and China isnt' about to give an unstable Iran nuclear material that WILL eventually get traced back to them.

ETA: That also gives you a hint of why Iran shouldn't have nukes.

That would be a direct violation of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty and would lead to full scale war.

I reckon they could just contract it out.

Pay wocket man to pull the trigger - right?

Or did you just want to say Trump accomplished nothing?

I don't think you really understand the cost of enriching uranium to weapons-grade level and what it takes to maintain, let alone ship across long distances. I think if was truly feasible, they would have done so years ago. They also probably wouldn't have been able to keep it secret and Israel would have bombed Tehran into dust.

Russia and China don't want Iran to have Nukes, either.
