warhead

These missiles, which are launched from an aircraft, fly close to the speed of sound and carry highly explosive warheads making them an ideal weapon for penetrating Russian bunkers and ammunition stores.

“Major political battles with the public are also likely when it comes to siting, testing or storing such materials, much less manufacturing and storage of warheads to form an actual arsenal.”

Developing a nuclear warhead for their ballistic missiles might be on their agenda.

It would still require a final step of enriching that material to military grade, and having warheads, which it is not believed to possess.

And there are concerns that if Iran can ride out an attack it will go for broke to produce a nuclear warhead for its missiles.
