Unfortunately, there is always the possibility that the Iranians will choose to use a “dirty bomb”- a conventional warhead equipped with radioactive materials. Building it does not require a broad infrastructure, and the needed radioactive material is widely available across the world. In such case, there will not be a nuclear explosion or a chain reaction, yet the detonation of the conventional warhead will spread radioactive materials in the air – a similar effect to the one created by chemical weapons.
