Well,

I think you have blinders on to how much Iran hates Isreal and to the history of their support for terrorist organizations world wide.

As to "prized technology", a first generation implosion type device is fairly advanced, I agree, but a gun type device is not that complicated.

Which a couple of thousand and enough bomb grade plutonium or uranium and I could make one in my garage.

It won't wipe out a city, but it will certainly take out several large down town blocks as welll as creating some nasty fallout.

The tough part is of course, getting the material in the first place.

And THAT is what I fear will happen.

I agree that the Iranians wouldn't be stupid enough to give the terrorists the former type of weapon (too traceable), but I think they are FULLY capable of giving them the enriched material for the latter type.

And again, can Israel afford to retaliate if they (and the majority of the world) aren't convinced it was Iran WITH proof?
