Report: Iran tested advanced nuclear warhead

U.K. paper says U.N. watchdog has asked Tehran to explain new evidence

LONDON - The U.N. nuclear watchdog has asked Iran to explain evidence suggesting the Islamic Republic's scientists have experimented with an advanced nuclear warhead design, the Guardian reported in its Friday edition.

The newspaper, citing what it describes as "previously unpublished documentation" from an International Atomic Energy Agency compiled dossier, said Iranian scientists may have tested high-explosive components of a "two-point implosion" device.

The IAEA said in September it has no proof Iran has or once had a covert atomic bomb program.

Guess we should start planning on what to do when the actually detonate one and everyone (IAEA) acts surprised.

You would think the US and the rest of the world would be paying more attention to this rogue state. I suppose we will one day, after the fact.

When I said Iran was testing a warhead design back in September I got this response from WalterM140 who now is back after his 2nd ban and going by a number.

I would think Israel is, though I don't think alone they could do more then just delay completetion through a military strike. Are those Russian AA weapons in place?

Israel has a very capable navy with AIP nuclear weapon capable submarines...
I don't think that the AA weapons would be that big of a deal, should Israel decide to strike...
IMHO...
