What are the chances that North Korea supplies Iran with "ready to fire" nuclear weapons?

Highly improbable that NK could transport weapons grade fissile material into Iran given that with the constant intelligence coverage and global monitoring makes logistical transport nearly impossible.

    Iran's learned their lesson. Control of the Strait of Hormuz is a deterrent but it's not permanent. In a decade or so the GCC countries will have developed export pipelines away from the Strait. At t

    As I've stated in the past I actually like the idea of Iran having a few nukes, as it would be a great deterrent to aggression committed by both America and Israel, and possibly lead to considerably m

    correct !! Uranium-235: Half-life of 700 million years. The longer the half-life, the slower and less intensely the material emits radiation. You can handle natural samples today without significant h

I wrote "Shia". They are a minority (around 10%) inside Islam, and historically opposed to (and persecuted by) Suni Muslims. Mainly concentrated in Iran and Iraq.

He said Shia, not all of Islam. Iran has the biggest Shia population by far.

Very funny. European harbors claim that they "catch" 10% of illegal cocaine imports.

Note: From some North Korean Borders all across the former soiviet union anything can be shipped by train. All the way to Iran. Look at the map. No controls, as long as the "backshis" is sufficient. Nobody will look at the contents of the freight as long as the "backshish" is considered "adequat".

It will not matter much if the "freight" consists of 10 tons of potatoes or only a nuclear warhed of 1 ton, as long as the "backshish" satisfies the crowd that inspects the contents of the freight trains. Destination: Iran.

Let's assume, that (somehow) Iran could be prevented from building their own Nuclear Missiles.

Iran and North Korea are quite close in many ways. What if North Korea delivers "ready to fire" nuclear missiles to Iran?

Actually, 1 missile would be enough as todays nuclear warheads are a hundred times more powerful than what the US dropped over Hiroshima, turning Europe into a waistland.

Outlandish, unthinkable?

I (for one) think that this is a very likely scenario in case Iran can be prevented from developping their nuclear visions.

I stay tuned, quite sure that soon something like that will make the headlines.

Perfect option for Iran. Maybe the bomb as a peace-maker?

Cocaine? The US and allied military security intelligence systems have no interest in cocaine movement. It seems your only knowledge of handling nuclear fissile material is out of imagination.

The nuclear storage facilities in NK are heavily guarded by the NK elite forces and requires special envoys to transport nuclear weapons and unique handling procedures along with an increased movement and communication in the NK systems. Mind you that this is heavily monitored by the US and allied military security systems and would trigger red flags way before the material leaves the border. Loading weapons grade fissile material on a train and transported through Russia? Are you frik’n joking? Never going to happen, you can toss that idea out the window. The only way NK can transport weapons fissile material is by sea or air which is heavily monitored using interrogation systems (which they have been busted before for transporting conventional weapons) that detects such materials. And if they got caught transporting such material the US and Israel would no doubt interdict if not strike them militarily without hesitation.
