I'm guessing it's in Iran

Aluminum tubes pose a similar level of threat as natural uranium.

Watch them blame drag queens for taking it.

Arabs do tend to wear those long white dresses. I think it's called Bisht.

Best case scenario.

12lb of uranium 238? .... that is basically useless, unless you're trying to make half-of-one cannon projectile

Maybe make a couple projectiles... https://www.orau.org/health-physics-museum/collection/consumer/depleted-uranium/penetrators.html

12 pounds of weapon grade per ton. So 30 pounds weapons grade total. Could probably get a decent warhead if they had the tech. So unlikely.

No. 2.5 tons of 238. Which can be refined down to 12 lbs of weapons grade per ton, ie 30 odd pounds. If they have the tech to refine.

But also, why bother, when a dirty bomb is far more effective weapon of terror.

That last sentence continues to say 'Weapons grade uranium'. But you don't even need that...you can use it as-is for a lot of dirty bombs.
