Terror group

The emphasis placed on retrieving the 970 pounds of 60% enriched uranium from Iran is misplaced. Russia or even North Korea could replace that within a few days. It takes only 33 pounds of weapons grade uranium to achieve critical mass meaning a nuclear explosion. This could create a 250-kiloton bomb which would be ten times the power of the bombs dropped on Japan. In fact, either country could send them a completed bomb. The US would not be directly threatened because of the distance and the resulting retaliation but a terrorist group could smuggle a bomb into the US or any other country. The only way to be reasonably assured that a rogue country would not use nuclear weapons is to have a society where the people have the power. Iran will not be safe until the military is no longer in control. As of now their whole reason for existing is death to America. They appear willing to starve their people to achieve this goal.
