[Just mythoughts]

I read the article and seems that the number of 3,000 operational could be considered previously a green-light to have them eliminated. I found it difficult to discern just how reliable the information given really is, other than Arm-a-jab words, seems everything else is off the record.

As I stated in a previous thread. I believe Iran already has a nuclear device (1 kt to 5 kt range), probably at least a handful. They are trying to develop a different class of nuclear weapon on the line of the W85/W88.
