Trump has threatened to cancel the deal, potentially allowing Iran to eventually develop an atomic warhead.

So-called preppers, mostly civilians, are part of the market in shops like theirs, but prepping — laying up emergency food, weaponry and shelter supplies — goes only so far when it comes to a potential strike by an atomic warhead.

" A former senior White House staffer in the President George W. Bush administration expressed similar concerns: "Don't be shocked if someday Iran sells North Korea its very best weapons technology – think ICBMs, nuclear weapons designs or even a full-up atomic warhead.

A successful test this time would show that the North's nuclear program has become more sophisticated and that the country is closer to making an atomic warhead that could be fitted on a long-range missile able to strike the mainland United States.

The F-89D was modified to accept AIM-4 Falcon guided missiles (F-89H) and AIR-2 Genie atomic warhead rockets (F-89J) as armament. The F-86D was modified (F-86L) to include an FDDL SAGE data link that permitted automatic ground control. The F-86L and F-89H became available in 1956, and the F-89J in 1957. The first of the Century Series supersonic interceptors was the F-102A Delta Dagger in 1956, followed by the F-104A Starfighter in 1958.

In 2003, Image Comics published The Agency, a comics mini-series set in a parallel world reminiscent of that of the Supermarionation series of the 1960s. In this world, the Tomahawks (an organisation similar to International Rescue) operate a VTOL rapid-transit aircraft, an airborne carrier craft, a "sub-atomic warhead" and a space station (corresponding to Thunderbirds 1, 2, 3 and 5). They are associated with Lady Pippa, a former British spy, and her chauffeur Burgess (analogues of Lady Penelope and Parker). The Agency also features pastiches of other Anderson series such as Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons and Joe 90.

Here, Cull argues, Joe 90 is similar to earlier Anderson series in that it "unashamedly capitalised on the Cold War cult of the secret agent whose skills defend the home from enemies unknown".Cull, p. 200. Hostile entities include the Eastern Alliance, which dominates Asia and appears in the episodes "Attack of the Tiger" and "Mission X-41". "Arctic Adventure" and "Attack of the Tiger" combine the threat from the East with the hazards of nuclear technology: in the former, Joe must recover a lost atomic warhead from the ocean floor while avoiding enemy submarines; in the latter, he must destroy an Eastern nuclear device before it is launched into Earth orbit.

Refit as a Galveston-class guided missile light cruiser, the warship departed Philadelphia on 30 June 1958 for builder's trials out of Norfolk, Va., in the Virginia Capes area, that included "highly successful" tests of her new Talos missile and tracking gear. The Talos supersonic surface-to-air missile was 38 ft long, weighed nearly 3,000 pounds (1,400 kg), and was powered by a novel 20,053 lbf ramjet engine, plus a solid-fuel rocket booster. With a range of over 65 miles (105 km) for early variants, and over 100 for later ones, and speeds of up to Mach 4, it was designed to destroy enemy aircraft at high altitudes using either a conventional or atomic warhead. She finished out the year with operations in the Norfolk area. Galveston arrived at San Juan, Puerto Rico, on 16 January 1959, for training and evaluation operations in the waters of the West Indies.

That same year, UGO ranked her ninth of their list of "superhero power upgrades that kicked complete ass"Superhero Power Upgrades That Kicked Complete Ass , UGO.com, 1 June 2011. and also featured her among 25 "hot ninja girls" and called her an "eye candy that's less lollipop and more atomic warhead". In 2011, IGN included Psylocke among the eight mutants IGN wished to see in the sequel to X-Men: First Class, stating that "mentally, she can go toe-to-toe with fellow telepaths like Emma Frost, and physically, she can kick as much ass as Wolverine when the situation calls for it", and adding that they would prefer to see her appearing as an Asian and a ninja, while disregarding her prior appearances in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand.Jesse Schedeen, Eight Mutants We Want in X-Men: First Class 2, IGN, 10 June 2011.
