President Joe Biden says he won't support an Israeli attack on sites related to Tehran’s nuclear program in response to Iran’s missile attack on Israel.
Nuclear explosions are difficult to propagate; there’s a balance between too much boom to scatter the fissile material and too little boom to fail to compress enough for a runaway nuclear reaction. It’s one of the key steps to making an actual bomb when you have the material to do so.
So don’t stress about that, stress about the next 20-40 years world wide.
That’s kinda the opposite of what I’ve heard. Making a really basic nuke is easy, it’s getting the material (which Iran has, mostly), and making one of the city-flatteners that’s hard.
Regardless, my concern is that Iran might decide to throw some nuclear material, functional or not, at Israel in retaliation for bombing their nuclear program.
