    Okay… Now I think we’re starting to coverage

    Yes, what nuke design exactly? You need someone who can tell you that, then follow all the way through while never testing your work

    Israel does get a pass… Because people believe they have nukes. What kind? Who knows, it literally doesn’t matter because everyone believes it

    It’s both way simpler and way more complicated than you seen to think

      Nobody told the US how to do it or handed them a design. They did do a test, but it worked on the very first try. All Iran would have to do is do as well as America did and, despite what you think, knowledge of how to make it is readily available.

      The hardest part are the extremely high tolerance detonators. They can test those in secret all day long. That’s where 75 years of progress in engineering makes the job a whole lot easier too. Modern electronics will also make it a lot easier for them to know when they get it right, without having to set off a nuke.
