That is so true...he got too much negative vibes and everyone feels that.
Feel sorry for his friends and ppl in his close environment.
He must have tons of friends

loool, I think they all have committed suicide

There is no argument that fusion devices are more efficient in size and yield but they have always proven more expensive to develop and build which is why most nations first nuclear weapons are fission devices.

Other countries became nuclear when Eagle? 20-30 years ago? Im not saying Iran can make a fusion warhead, im just saying those countries made fission nuclear warheads decades ago.

Time's have changed.

Aryana,

There no evidence of that. Iran has stated they are WORKING on their own fusion research reactor but their only other access to such technology is the Canadian built Tokamak reactor. If having one of those meant you could develop a fusion weapon than half the world should have that technology since those reactors are in a large number of nations.

YMJ,

Except that's not true. Pakistan tested their first nuclear devices in the late 90's and they were fission weapons and to date most believer fission warheads are the only kind Pakistan has.

Also I'm not saying Iran couldn't produce a fusion warhead shortly after they build their first fission warhead. China tested a H-bombs very soon after their 1st fission test, a record that holds to this day.

I am just saying I see no evidence Iran's FIRST missile warhead will be a fusion warhead since I believe foreign precedent suggests fission warheads are developed first and fusion warheads take longer because of their greater complexity and cost.

Indeed I misspoke but the point remains. The technology used to built that type of fusion device, called a  Inertial Electrostatic Confinement reactor, is actually fairly easy to built and is less complicated than the Tokamak research reactor Iran bought decades ago. So while Iran building such a reactor is a big step in the right direction, it's development has little to nothing to do with developing a fusion weapon.

Fusion weapons obviously fundamentally work the same way as such reactors but how they achieve the actual fusion of atoms is difference than how the reactors work and therefore there is likely no connection between the research reactor and a fusion weapon.

And as I said, Iran could learn more on how to build fusion reactors from their Tokamak reactor then they could from this new research reactor and as such it's development is likely not connected to development of a weapon.

AK,

 That type of Fusion confinement, the Inertial Electrostatic Confinement was first suggested in the late 1950's and is actually not considered viable for power generation (unlike the Tokamak design which is the foundation for the first true Fusion Power reactor under design now) and is in comparison much simpler to design and build.

The Wiki page on IEC is rather extensive and includes a large number of proper sources so clearly the technology has existed around the world for decades and Iran has become one of the nations to build one of their own.

In fact in Chapter 2 of the PDF the author clearly states IEC was first develope 40+ years ago.

Quotation removed

so is it good or primitive.

Sure Catsoo.

My last bit on the Fusion topic!

Eagle,

In short, IEC is old but radioisotope production utilizing IEC is new. Look at the poster (one of the links in my previous post). If you want more info we have to go to another topic.

Numbers,

Here's what I don't understand about your point your trying to make. What evidence is there Iran's first missile warhead would be a fusion device?

Eagle2009,

I have only suggested that Iran's Safir missile can carry one fusion warhead (130 kilograms) and serve as ICBM. I know that Iran does not have any nuclear (fission and fusion) warheads.

Well ICBM does not have to be nuclear. Iran can use conventional submunition warhead for ICBMs and BMs to provide sufficient deterrence.

Personally I am against nuclear warheads. You can have around 10 fusion warheads but not any more than that. Militaries should develop conventional warheads that are as lethal as nuclear ones but do not destroy human cities (resulting in disease, hunger, injuries, cold damage). That may be achieved due to higher accuracy, higher velocity, higher blast casualty but low infrastructure damage of conventional submunition warhead.

Many have forgotten the neutron bomb. Today, not much talk about it.

whats there to talk about?

Here's what I don't understand about your point your trying to make. What evidence is there Iran's first missile warhead would be a fusion device?

Point is that Iran probably doing something like nuk.warhead in underground so don't except to see any evidence,i don't understand when people say i "don't see something",if you didn't see something doesn't mean that didn't hapen,i don't mean Iran is make fusion nuk.warhead for sure but we simple don't know they don't

Speaking to FNA on Sunday, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mostafa Izadi praised the country's military experts, and said Iran's "very good" missile capability has been developed merely by local scientists and academic figures.

General Moqaddam's brother, Mohammad, himself a Guards commander, spoke of a "project related to intercontinental ballistic missiles," which "was in its final phase" and was "completely hi-tech and secret" -- in remarks he later retracted.
The Islamic republic already possesses several types of medium-range missile, some capable of reaching Israel or US bases in the Middle East -- both stated targets for retaliation in the event that Iranian facilities are attacked.

Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran's spiritual leader, ordered the heads of the nation's military, intelligence and security organization to "take all necessary measures to protect the regime," The Telegraph reported.

Iran has repeatedly warned that it would target Israel and its worldwide interests in case it comes under attack by the Tel Aviv. It has also warned that in case of an attack by either the US or Israel, it will target 32 American bases in the Middle East and close the strategic Strait of Hormoz.

The MP further said that Iran proved to the world that the US is not an invincible power after it downed the highly sophisticated drone through hacking its systems.

"Enemies do not know where our power ends," Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Brigadier General Hossein Salami told reporters on the sidelines of a Civil Defense gathering in Tehran on Monday.

Earlier the General told the gathering that Iran is growing increasingly powerful, "while the US is losing all its geopolitical points of reliance and all its structured and constructed models are falling apart".

"The influence and clout of the Islamic power is pushing back and washing off the domain of the influence of the arrogant powers (i.e. the US and its European allies)," he added.

The General further added that Iran's notions and ideas are spreading throughout the region and the world fast and this means victory and growing power for the Islamic Republic.

"The Islamic Revolution is moving ahead hopefully and conquering new ruling systems," he stated.

The US and Israel started intensifying their war rhetoric against Iran in mid October, but after they saw Iran's firm response, both Washington and Tel Aviv withdrew from their previous stances.

In response, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander of the Revolutionary Guards, ordered units to move Iran's arsenal of long-range missiles to secret sites where they would be safe from attack and could launch retaliatory strikes.

The Iranian air force has also formed "rapid reaction units" that are practicing a response to an enemy airstrike, according to The Telegraph.
