This is something that you wouldn't use a missile to deliver, but you would use a plane or a ship.
And it would take somewhere in the neighborhood of about a year and a half to
to deliver or to develop a warhead, and that's to affix to the missile.
So it's sort of the three legs of the nuclear stool, right?
The weapons-grade uranium, the missiles to deliver it,
And the warhead.
The blueprints were given, just to clarify, it's just interesting, just in terms of the history of proliferation.
So Iran's initial nuclear program, which is built on centrifuges, as Scott and I have been talking about, that was actually given to, the designs of that were given to them by A.Q.
Khan, who was really the father of the Pakistani nuclear program.
And he actually stole those designs from the Dutch,
and handed it to the Iranians.
He also handed it to the North Koreans and the Libyans and others.
So they were able to illicitly acquire this technology and release the blueprints for this technology from the father of the Pakistani bomb.
So I think that's an interesting point.
And they obviously bought heavy water reactors from the Russians, which they've been using for electricity.
I want to just get to the second thing.
I think it's just important for listeners to know.
And then I want to get to JCPOA.
First of all, I'm glad Scott knows about what's going on at Parchin because the IAEA doesn't.
And they've been asking the Iranians.
