I mean, the W54 was small enough to be carried by a person and I don't think anyone wants even a 1kt device going off near them. So it's within the realm of possibility even if it does strain credulity as an actual goal Iran was working toward (let alone a solid justification for this bullshit).
Edit: the W54 weighed 51lb (23 kg).
That wouldn't be a suicide vest, though; it'd be a suicide fat suit.
