No, but if it lasts more than four hours, see a doctor.

So 550 is 1/2181.8182 of 1.2 million tons. Quite a difference.

Whoa! 1.2 million tons?? No way.... That would be an insanely huge amount of uranium. No, it was 550 tons (still plenty, enough for maybe 120 warheads or so).

fwiw, the 550 tons of uranium was long known to be there and was supposedly under IAEA seals and monitoring, so it’s not the same as what Joe Wilson and friends were babbling about. Still, it’s also far from the negligible issue that a lot of libs try to pretend it was, because just as Saddam booted all the UN weapons inspectors for 5 years he could at any time have broken the IAEA seals and started using that uranium in a new nuclear weaponns program. There’s nothing at all the IAEA could have done about it, so it was crazy to keep all the uranium yellowcake there, just waiting for the day when Saddam did decide to use it. All that “monitoring” the supply meant was that we MIGHT know when Saddam began to process it.

Even if they had a longer range missile and a nuclear device, how long would it take for them to weaponize the nuclear device?

The Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs were about 4/5 tons, respectively. This dwarfs the payload of these missiles.

The Iranian military isn’t the threat, so much as the regime holding their own population hostage. That’s what the Japanese did in 1945 (before Hiroshima) and Truman called their bluff. I’m not sure modern Americans have the stomache for that.

Excellent work by HawaiianGecko

If they really had the firepower to take out Israel and our military bases in Iraq, they would have done it without talking about it.
