Nah...

Be stupid to go after plants using low-enriched uranium brought in from other places that are already documented...

Israel's plan would be to go after the sites that are actually doing the enriching...

Not if those sites are in Russia. Plus they could only target something that could process nuclear material, but not anything with nuclear material currently in it. If they blow something up and send nuclear material into the enviroment, they are in a shit load of trouble with the world.

Nah...

First, the Russian sites don't matter, because, as stated, what they're sending Iran is low-grade enriched stuff that isn't good enough for nuclear weapons...No one nees to worry about that (unless, of course, some of it goes "mysteriously" missing)...

Consensus globally is that Iran doesn't have anything high-grade....YET...

Blowing up places that are enriching uranium now is a reasonable aternative than letting the enrichment continue and having to deal with a substance far more dangerous...

Relax guys, this is Russian nuclear plants we're talking about. Just tell the Russians that we'll pull back completely as long as they agree to only build "pebble bed" reactors (Chernobyl-style).

Chernobyl wasn't a pebble bed reactor, it was graphite moderated reactor. Pebble bed's don't require the steam that caused the explosion in Chernobyl.

My mistake, I had the nuclear process backwards.

I thought plutonium was a product of U235, when it is a parent of U235.
