Challenges in Targeting Iranian Nuclear Facilities

Attacking Iranian nuclear facilities presents significant challenges due to the complexity of the materials required for bomb production. Both uranium and plutonium are essential, with civilian nuclear reactors generating substantial plutonium as a byproduct. Disrupting the supply chain of raw materials is nearly impossible, as uranium is widely available globally through various countries, including Canada and Kazakhstan. Moreover, the difficulty in striking the advanced centrifuges used for uranium enrichment is heightened by their mobility, allowing Iran to relocate them, complicating any military action aimed at disabling nuclear capabilities.
