Iranian officials have told the IAEA that they experimented with
simultaneous detonators in the past, but said the work was done for
civilian rather than military use.
Blasting caps for civilian use need only to go off within 2 to 3 milliseconds of each other. how to make these has been common knowledge for many
years
Seismic caps to .5 milliseconds. also common knowledge.
But the detonators for a nuke need to be a .001 milliseconds of each other.
These are very hard to make.
Iran could BUY the standard blasting cap from China, Even the seismic caps are buyable from china.
But china might not want to temp fate by selling the nuclear detonators to Iran.
because if the US or UN ever found out China would have trade problems.
