That's pretty much the only way this report could be true.
Tehran, 1 August: The official Iranian news agency (IRNA) quotes Expediency Council chief, Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani as saying, "We have started the first activities of nuclear fusion."
Rafsanjani made the remarks today during a speech delivered to a gathering of students at Tehran's Jamaran Hoseynieh.
No. Way. A fusion bomb means first mastering fission bombs. Sustained fusion...well, we've been working on that for decades now, and still Mr. Fusion eludes us. So unless the Iranians are claiming that big hydrogen bomb in the sky for their own, this report is, um, wrong. Via Hot Air, where people have already suggested the more likely explanations of 1)a mistranslation or 2)ignorance on Rafsanjani's part. |
