where they just changed one little thing and gave them nuclear bomb blueprints, but the Iranians didn't take the bait?

But if you don't mind if I- But it was, as I said earlier, because Bill Clinton clamped down on the Chinese and wouldn't let them sell, or anyone else wouldn't let them sell them light water reactors.

So then they went to AQ Khan and bought the stuff on the black market.

Yeah.

I was in the middle of saying, though, when you're trying to make a uranium implosion bomb or a plutonium implosion bomb, it's a much more difficult task than putting together a gun type nuke.

Takes an extraordinary amount of testing.

And that's why he repeated probably unknowingly.

false propaganda about Iran having this advanced testing facility.

I think he was implying, correct me if I'm wrong, he was, I'm pretty sure you're implying at Parchin that they were testing these implosion systems, but that's completely debunked.

It's completely false.

What they were testing, what they're doing at Parchin with that implosion chamber was making nanodiamonds.

And the scientist in charge of it was Ukrainian who had studied in the Soviet Union and

at this military university where they said oh see they study nuclear stuff there but that wasn't his speciality his name was dan elenko and he was a specialist in making nano diamonds and that facility was vouched by robert kelly in the christian science monitor told um scott peterson of the christian science monitor that that stuff was nonsense that that that facility that

implosion chamber could not be used for testing an implosion system for nuclear weapons.

And I know from Dr. Prather telling me that when the Americans were doing this, and the Russians too, that they tested all their implosion systems outside.

And you have to do it over and over and over again with lead instead of uranium in the core.

And then you take all this high-speed X-ray film of the thing.

And it's this huge and drawn-out and incredibly complicated engineering process.

And this is probably why the week before the war...

The CIA said, not only do we think that they're a year away from having enough nuclear material to make one bomb, we think they're three years away from having a finished warhead.
