I found ‘Some dude from Iran’ a bit jarring given the more formal language of the rest of the paragraph. If that marked a shift in the tone of the story, that would be understandable, but from what I can see it doesn’t.

I found the introduction of the bomb a little sudden; I would have liked to either have something a little less ominous be the end, or perhaps develop the meaning of the bomb briefly.

This is one of my favourites, just the story of one inanimate object and its meandering journey through time and space, through multiple nations, countless miles and years.

I was trying to imply that it was destroyed in World War II. Glad you liked it otherwise!
