Theodore Postol, Glenn Diesen: Iran Already Has Nuclear Deterrent to Israeli Nuclear Strike. Understand Devastation of a Nuclear Strike!!!

by Glenn Diesen [3-30-2026].

(RAD: Everyone should listen to this entire video presentation by MIT Professor Ted Postol to understand the horror of a nuclear strike. Ted purposefully makes this graphic for people to understand why we don't want to go down this path.

Although Iran currently doesn't have a nuclear bomb, they have the expertise & sufficient enriched uranium hexafluoride that they could develop nuclear bombs within a matter of weeks if they were struck by a nuclear bomb from Israel. Because Israel is getting hammered by drones & missiles from Iran, Hezbollah & Yemen, Netanyahu is crazy enough that he could use a nuclear strike on Iran as he gets backed into a corner.

Professor Postol explains what is necessary to finish building a nuclear bomb for Iran & why it doesn't need to be tested. He explains why using 3 at once to target Israel is more effective. He also explains the fire bomb & high winds & the radiation that would be devastating. He does this in a way that can be understood by anyone without a degree in physics. He shows photos from Japan & Germany to illustrate what it is like to be caught in a fire storm like this. He wants people to have a gut reaction about what this would be like & hopes that enough of the right people will refuse to authorize a first nuclear strike. — RAD)

Theodore Postol is retired Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. He did his undergraduate work in physics and his graduate work in nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After receiving his Ph.D., Dr. Postol joined the staff of Argonne National Laboratory, where he studied the microscopic dynamics and structure of liquids and disordered solids using neutron, x-ray and light scattering, along with computer molecular dynamics techniques. Subsequently he went to the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment to study methods of basing the MX Missile, and later worked as a scientific adviser to the Chief of Naval Operations. After leaving the Pentagon, Dr. Postol helped to build a program at Stanford University to train mid-career scientists to study developments in weapons technology of relevance to defense and arms control policy. In 1990 Dr. Postol was awarded the Leo Szilard Prize from the American Physical Society. In 1995 he received the Hilliard Roderick Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and in 2001 he received the Norbert Wiener Award from Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility for uncovering numerous and important false claims about missile defenses.
