Counterterrorism experts say the recent interception of uranium linked to the Islamic Republic of Iran in the United Kingdom should serve as a warning that America and its allies are still vulnerable to a dirty bomb attack despite an array of post-9/11 security countermeasures.

Iran has been siphoning its supply of uranium to strengthen its proxy fighters, including the Shiite Islamic Houthi Rebels, who have been engaged in a long war against Saudi-backed Sunni forces in Yemen's civil war.
