Dolphin-class submarine
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin-class_submarine

Each Dolphin-class submarine is capable of carrying a combined total of up to 16 torpedoes and Popeye Turbo submarine-launched cruise missiles (SLCMs). The cruise missiles have a range of at least 1,500 km (930 mi) and are widely believed to be equipped with a 200 kiloton nuclear warhead containing up to 6 kilograms (13 lb) of plutonium.

^ Never crossed my mind that there are missile who is launched through the torpedo-tube.

If Israel is going to attack Iran I hope it's with conventional weapons.

The risk of a nuclear armed Iran lies in a.) proliferation, b.) relative untouchability when engaging in sponsoring terrorism.



The Ukraine regrets to have handed over its nukes to the Russians. Libya regrets to have handedover its nukes to the Americans. Now, Iran will not regret to not hand them over ever. Nor does North Korea have any such plans.


There are some countries of which it is not officially confirmed they have nukies, but probably have. Brazil being very high on my list . I was not worried by that outlook. Then came Bolsonaro.

Within two month.

Could this mean we can expect an preemptive strike on Iran from Israel and/or USA somewhere in September month ?

Another thing. From all I have read and heard it's no doubt that Israel and/or USA will attack Iran and its nuclear facilities.

Where I'm uncertain is when. I say it's very likely before, but they could also attack when they have build and tested the first nuclear bomb.

I haven't been following for the last couple days, trying to catch up on the news.

I am going to make some guesses, the nuclear facility is heavy guarded and I am not sure if its hidden deep underground. So how to get to it? I think you might be right that they will try to strike when the test weapon is being transported to a test site.

Its pretty crazy and all the other things that have been focused upon will become inconsequential when a bunch of nuclear weapon grade material has been blown up.

I made some qualified guessed myself.

What I didn't take into consideration was what Iran would do in retaliation.
