Iran propaganda video suggests it already has nuclear warheads
Iran may not have a nuclear weapon, but it can certainly easily build a "dirty bomb"

Iran's state television channel has caused intense concern among the US-Israeli and their other allies by publishing a video on its official page, which suggests that Tehran possesses nuclear warheads and is apparently ready to use them.

In particular, the video shows a man in an Iranian Armed Forces uniform running his hand over a ballistic missile warhead bearing a radioactive threat signal and… caressing it!

The video is accompanied by an ambiguous caption: "Maybe."

The publication gained more than five million views in a short time, sparking a wave of discussion in circles, politicians, experts and analysts.

It is noteworthy that the channel itself is part of the IRIB news group, which recently suffered a cyberattack attributed to Israel.

Some consider the video an element of psychological warfare, while others do not rule out that Tehran is demonstrating its capabilities in the context of deteriorating relations with the West.

At the same time, Israel and the United States continue to claim that the Islamic Republic has "overstepped the bounds" in implementing its nuclear program.

Until now, Tehran has denied possessing nuclear weapons.

Iran may not have nuclear weapons, but it can certainly create a so-called "dirty bomb," which is just as threatening, especially if there is someone available to use it.

The way things have developed, no one can be sure of anything.

A dirty bomb or radioactive dispersion device is a hypothetical radioactive weapon that combines radioactive material with conventional explosives.

The purpose of the weapon is to contaminate the area around the dispersant/conventional explosion with radioactive material, primarily used as an area denial device against civilians.

However, it should not be confused with a nuclear explosion, such as a fission bomb, which by releasing nuclear energy produces explosion effects far beyond those that can be achieved using conventional explosives.

Since a dirty bomb is unlikely to cause many deaths from radiation exposure, many do not consider it a weapon of mass destruction.

However, its purpose is to create psychological, not physical, harm through ignorance, mass panic and terror.

For this reason, dirty bombs are sometimes called "weapons of mass disruption ."

Furthermore, the containment and disinfection of thousands of victims, as well as the decontamination of the affected area, may require significant time and money, rendering the areas partially unusable and causing economic damage.

In short, such a bomb, if used in a very large urban center, would cause unbearable economic damage to any country.

Although we express our objections to what the "experts" say, that a bomb that uses conventional explosives and produces a shock wave would be much more deadly to people than the danger posed by radioactive material that can be mixed with the explosive.

Let these "experts" go live in such an area and consume water and food, as well as take a bath and tell the residents "don't worry, the radiation emitted is small and not... deadly" . ..

Because anyone who knows elementary physics knows that the effects of radioactivity are always additive.
