The fear mongering

Another retread of the Iraq war. They scared us with "dirty bombs" and man pack nukes back then too.

JV Dunce may develop a sectional with dildos in all the seats, claim I.

Now why isn’t the media talking about that?

Suitcase nukes exist. But not in vest form.

They are much larger than a suitcase, extremely heavy, and developing them took decades. If Iran had +90% enriched uranium, their likely first attempt would be a gun style bomb like Little Man. Much easier design than shaped charges, not least because of trigger timing. But that's a large bomb. The Enola Gay was the largest bomber in the US fleet at the time, and it just barely carried the bomb for Hiroshima.

Fun fact: the smallest nuclear bomb was (is?) small enough to carry in a backpack.
