Question on the movement of nukes to Iran

[ananda]

Exactly how will these weapons get moved to Iran?

By ship? By plane?

What are the logistics?

Thank you in advance.

1. I think Medvedev is bloviating. . . . nt

2. Probably.

And if something like that were to happen for real, and we had an actual president and an actual defense department, we would be able to stop it, these blithering babbling idiots will not be able to stop it, but I also don’t believe that it’s happening.

3. I'm pretty sure most of the carriers have nukes on board...

Just sayin'

[ananda]

6. And what about submarines?

???

7. Even this admin isn't telling anybody where they are...

But the missiles they carry have good range. I'm sure there are several in the Indian Ocean area and the Eastern Med.

8. Can Russian subs carry nuclear capability to Iran?

???

13. Probably...nt

4. If one wished to ship a piece of cargo from Russia to Iran, one could do so

without entering any other nation by two methods: by air or by sea (specifically the Caspian Sea).

By land one would need cooperation, deception, or corruption. All of which are possible given the countries in question.

5. Is our admin and military capable of stopping them?

Or are they too infantile and incompetent?

9. It depends on the nuclear device. If

one means a complete warhead for a missile that is one thing. If someone is talking about a suitcase device that is another.

[ananda]

10. I expect the suitcase device would be a lot easier to move and to use.

I don't know about a complete warhead.

[moniss]

14. Depending on the warhead and the missile it would be on

the size could vary.

11. Interesting OP, but what logistical benefit would there be

to another country to supply Iran with nuclear weapons?

[ananda]

12. By logistics I mean how would they do it?

They have already said they would.

[iemanja]

15. Do you actually think they would announce

Their logistics?

It may be a bluff, but if not, the last thing they are going to do is tell everyone how they plan to accomplish it.
