Iran 'designing nuclear submarine'

4. Who says that the Iranians don't have a sense of humor

Putting aside completely the idea of putting the engineering together that would take nuclear off land and onto a vessel, a much greater challenge than simply making a nuclear bomb, there is the entire submarine technology challenge.

If they started today it would take decades for the Iranians to build all of the integrtrated industries necessary to support a submarine manufacturing industry.

Then you would actually have to have a submarine manufacturing dry dock, all of which would be easily visible and even more easy to destroy with a simple missile.

And then on top of this is that submarines are now becoming redundant in that just like flying predators we have a whole fleet of robotic buoys making ocean surveillance by submarine expensive and obsolete.

You don't build an entire industry to manufacture a single submarine.

Not a serious effort by Iran but if you put enough red herrings on the table then it gives you more things to take off in a negotiation.
