says he thinks Iran has plans to build all the parts of a nuclear weapon but not assemble and explode one. This is what Pakistan did, keeping all the parts on a shelf until the late 90s when it test-fired a bomb after India tested its bomb. Hayden said, “That gives them all the effects of having a weapon. I judge that’s their end game. That’s where they want to be. And that’s really bad. That’s as bad as a detonation. In fact, in some ways that’s worse than a detonation.”
