Bob Murphy: My claim of multiple nukes

I know the jihadis were chattering about that, but the logistics are formidable. Unless Russkiye would be really that deranged that they would supply some suitcase nukes to Iran that would try (actively) to get them to US to be ready.

Tere is another scenario that has a better chance of success. If you have enough radioactive material, you could create dirty bombs at some strategic locations, like major routes. Select 6 most important highways close to major cities and detonate dirty bombs at the same time. Not much physical damage, but the initial panic and consecleanup costs would, no dout, have serious economic consequences.
