Iranian analyst discusses dirty bomb potential

An Iranian analyst, Majid Rajabi, has publicly discussed the technical feasibility of Iran constructing a 'dirty bomb' using its existing uranium stockpile. Rajabi explained that a dirty bomb disperses radioactive material over a radius of one to two kilometers using a conventional explosion, which is far less intense than a nuclear detonation. He stated that converting Iran's current 400 kilograms of uranium into such a device would require building new, dedicated facilities. The commentary concludes by warning that the more time the US gives Iran, the more likely the regime will develop such weapons.
