DARHT’s experiments take place within a steel vessel shaped like a diving bell. The mock pits, made of dense metals such as lead, tantalum, or depleted uranium, have properties similar to plutonium—minus its tendency to fission. As the explosive charges are detonated, two perpendicular beams of x-rays document the pit’s implosion like high-speed cameras. Weapons scientists compare those pictures with classified supercomputer simulations of the bomb blasts to see how well the real and digital worlds match.
Without tests, however, the only things ensuring that warheads work are facilities like DARHT, computer simulations from “weapons codes,” and a cache of data from the old days of nuclear testing. For relatively minor changes to old weapons—new fuses, fresh top-ups of the hydrogen isotope tritium—that has been enough.

Yes. pro-resistance, but sticks to facts and sources. Not making up stories like it’s a Dungeons and Dragons game.

Cameras were not destroyed. The memory sticks are in Iranian hands. Cameras still record. You maybe thinking of the Israeli Natanz sabatoge attacks. Iran claimed the explosions destroyed some cameras.
Under nuclear deal, Iran is allowed to install centrifuges to replace ones that break down due to defects. But large scale installation of newer gen centrifuges (IR-4 and above) would be seen as escalation.
That’s called incidental enrichment. Enrichment isn’t homogenous as people think. You don’t click a button and centrifuge spins at exact 60%, it’s a fine mixing process and sometimes you will get nanograms of higher enriched material as a result.
This has happened before and is fairly normal. IAEA just decided to sensationalize it one time, even though they have seen it before and understand the process.
With IR-4 or IR-6, all you need is a ~100 centrifuges in a tiny ventilated room and a few scientists/engineers + limited leadership awareness (less than 10 people).
Very possible.
Historically world powers have been terrible at estimating when nations go nuclear.

true but the Israelis have infiltrated the entire nuclear archive and IAEA monitors even the supply chains from centrifuge assembly to uranium extraction, so if a secret undeclared source of these hasn't been stashed away and successfully hidden for c. 10 years since JCPOA (unlikely), it will be very difficult

Iran should postpone attack, they caused unprecedented anxiety among settler entity and drained their resources further, i think that this game of cat and mouse should continue for couple of days and then strike when best suitable moment occurr, they achieved already some kind of victory if the news of departure of 55000 settlers out of entity are true,

we have a lot of parallel posts between this thread and the "Israeli regime attacks Iran's consulate in Damascus" thread. I think I might lock this thread for a few days so we can all focus on that thread as it is more specific to the current subject matter. any strong objections?

That thread will be over-run by Pakistani trolls and foreigners in the hours after the attack.
