It wasn't from Iran, but Iraq. Surprised that no one picked up on that.
Not true. The highly enriched fuel that Iraq had could be converted and harvested. Would take a bit of work and subterfuge, but not impossible. However, that particular grade of material was removed. Most under the supervision of the IAEA. However, there remains quite a bit of DU and other low grade of material. We can thank the gulf war for saving Israel the trouble of bombing the Iraqi facility a second time.You can create a mess with a reactor but doubtful if it could ever be used for/create a nuclear bomb out of it.

Good - dont want to argue either. Honestly I dont know what fissile is even after reading it so how about endowing us with your knowledge since you brought it up.^^^ I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you. I happen to know the % of enrichment used in a certain reactor in Iraq. You're correct, a reactor cannot be turned into a bomb, however, after x amount of enrichment, and with the proper geometry and physics, that fissile material is considered weapons grade material. How do you think "fat man" was produced? Do you even have a clue what changes take place during the fission process?
