Considering Israel and the US are bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities because they have “weapons of mass destruction”, if Iran really did have such weapons, wouldn’t bombing the facilities they’re held in cause them to explode, or cause an evident ripple at least? I may be imagining this in a way cartoonier way than military weapons actually work, but I’m preparing myself for some incredibly annoying debates.

  • Also, since they’ve been bombing nuclear facilities I can guarantee you that they have boat loads of very shitty (radioactive) chemicals laying around there which with these bombings now will also be spread around everywhere

    So far no radiation was detected, so perhaps it was stored more securely (or somewhere else).

      Even more concerning. This indicates that either:

      1.: The radioactive material hasn‘t been destroyed

      2.: Israel & USA completely made up Iran‘s nuclear capabilities

      3.: Nuclear warheads have already been made and transported. Unlikely but nothing to joke about.

        Third is not highly probably, because definitely sites were monitored much earlier than the strikes themselves. Especially after Iran lost air superiority

        Any suspicious activity would be noticed
