Dirty Bomb Fears After Uranium Found In Cargo Arriving At Heathrow

It wouldn't make any sense to send any radioactive shipments to Heathrow or all but a couple of UK airports as all cargo, luggage and people are scanned for radiation.

There had been a few problems last year with planes carrying medical isotopes for scans and treatments being diverted due to bad weather and 'spoiling' due to those airports not having qualified nuclear scanning staff but pretty certain they've all been trained up now.

With Russia invading Ukraine it'd be difficult for them to protest a western invasion of their ally Iran. So, this may be seen by the hawks as an opportune moment to make that happen.

Perhaps this Heathrow story is part of constructing a narrative to sell such an invasion to the public - worked for Iraq: WMDs 2.0

I think these are the telling parts of that Daily Mail article:

As long ago as 2003 the then head of MI5 warned that it was ‘only a matter of time’ before a dirty bomb or chemical weapons attack was launched on a major Western city.

He said: 'The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has documented that Iran has 60% of enriched uranium, enough for at least one if not two bombs.

'We have been saying for years 'they're approaching this breakout point and we've really got to negotiate with them.' They're there.'

MP Matthew Offord said at the time Iran were 'regularly testing ballistic missiles, and they are seeking to get enough uranium that they are able to produce a weapon'.

It's clear that tptb believe that this is inevitable, or at least want the public to think it is. Plus, once Iran reach full nuclear capability how long will the stalemate last between them and Israel? Sadly, then there's an awful logic to creating a narrative to change regime in Iran, even if those doing so are only slightly less likely to cause disaster than those they're invading.

I just hope if that's the case tptb can rustle up their narrative without having to actually carry out such a devastating event.

And as always the caveat is that these are views based on what can be discerned at a great distance via state controlled media. It does seem as though the Iranian regime, with its cruel medieval martial law, will not be missed. But nor was Saddam, until ISIS filled the vacuum.

Btw, anyone know in which city this Iranian firm is?

Some more information on the topic.

Seems like the investigation is still ongoing.

"Deadly Nuclear Terror Plot"

But

We have no information to report at this time, lol.

MSM kills me.

Ah well, glad they found it at least.

a reply to: MykeNukem

Obviously, further investigation is required because it could indeed turn out to be nefarious and terror-related.

However, i tend to agree, the Sun headline is somewhat over the top.

a reply to: andy06shake

why bother attempting to bring uranium past airport scanners....
ESPECIALLY SINCE,...
they can just walk tons of it across our southeren boarder
UNHINDERED..

and you dont think maybe moscow, china,
north korea, or israel, has bribed the mexican drug cartels
to bring some through a drug TUNNEL?

or even have
THEIR VERY OWN TUNNELS by now??

60 years ago the smallest nukes were the
size of howitzer shells...
i bet russia has made them much smaller by now..

besides there are much better, smaller ,chemical and
bio-weapons can be brought in

a reply to: cappie

Those are questions i suppose.

I don't think there are many drug tunnels that lead to the UK all the same unless the Channel Tunnel counts.

Where nukes are concerned, apparently they could be quite small, conceivably being able to fit in a typical suitcase.

W82 155mm artillery shell is only six inches in diameter for comparison.

It was intercepted.

Why are they telling us this?

It will be the beginning of a larger narrative, no doubt.

I've watched this play too many times to believe that it will be different this time.

They aren't even creative anymore.

You have to accept, that Iran is a real country with all those things being real considerations, Iran's drones are causing havoc in Ukraine, the nuclear program is a threat for the whole world (even if more in an ipso facto way of it's just in general a bad thing to have more nuclear weapons on the planet), it's already weak and recently in Germany they arrested two Iranians after a tip-off by US secret services.
I mean objectively since we as part of the West are party in Ukraine it's our interest to win. Direct confrontation with Russia is not possible, but Iran is.
It was a really stupid move for them to so openly support Russia in the war against the West.
I like to think they've noticed that by now. Independently of moral discussions and philosophical questions, those are geopolitical events that are real.
Russia isn't backing out of Ukraine. So from viewpoint of said West it's a perfectly sound strategy to seize a weakspot and open a new battlefield to weaken your opponent.

I mean I appreciate you trying to analyse it, at least that's how I took your approach, but it smacks a bit of 'we can choose not to be involved' which is simply false.

More like luckily detected.

Because its NEWS?

Just need to wait and see what other information materializes, might not be any for we know.

They aren't even creative anymore.

Well where the Uranium is concerned, its the production of some kind of dirty device that's of concern.

Hopefully, nobody gets creative on that score.

a reply to: andy06shake

We'll see.

Intelligence agencies don't release information like this unless it's to build a narrative for a future agenda.

I hope I'm wrong.

You misinterpreted my post, or didn't read the part that said:

a reply to: McGinty

Well and what was it what you try to say with '...awful logic... to create a narrative...', if not that you deny those are real events?

a reply to: Wide-Eyes

What is the problem with this being reported?

If it was covered up you would be all over it?

a reply to: andy06shake
Blimey, go steady andy, I nearly fell off my chair with your "if they detonated in London".

A bit of advise for the terrorists, If you're gonna let off a dirty firework don't, I said don't let it off in London cos you wont kill any British people as London is chock full of foreigners.

Touché crayzeed.

If it was covered up, we wouldn't know about it.

Like I said, we'll see.

It would come out. Probably.

Eventually.

My point is that they want us to know about this.

Why?

It happened last year and they suddenly want us to know about it.

It's always a build up to a narrative.

You're saying that the uranium found at Heathrow is a 100% proven terrorist attempt that couldn't possibly be an attempt to drum up some public support for actions against Iran?
