Iran 'designing nuclear submarine'

[14thColony]

26. So much wrong all in one OP

1. The main advantage of nuclear submarines are a) their very long endurance on patrol and b) they don't have to broach the surface to recharge their batteries like diesel boats, which are then vulnerable to swift detection and attack. The fact that the earliest Soviet nuclear missile subs were diesels and the earliest US nuclear subs were for conventional attack tends to invalidate your position that nuclear propulsion is somehow linked to nuclear armament.

2. As other have said, Iran doesn't even have the ability to build diesel submarines, let alone a nuclear propulsion system to fit into the submarine hull which it also can't make.

3. Add to that, they now have to develop the technology to miniaturize their non-yet-produced nuclear weapons to fit into a non-existent delivery system to go into the hull they can't manufacture powered by the propulsion system they can't build.
