I appreciate your political views, but this one is perfectly legal in United States, and will hopefully stay this way.

Selling nukes and biological/chemical warfare agents and other things that "arms dealers" provide is not legal in the US. Gun shop owners are not commonly referred to as "arms dealers".

But thanks for shoehorning your political views into an unrelated conversation.

Has there ever actually been a confirmed case of a nuclear warhead being sold by an arms dealer?

Of a warhead I don't know, but North Korea is rumored to have bought critical nuclear expertise from Iran.

What would constitute confirmation for you?

Has the BBC ever reported on it happening, as more than just a potential?

I'm with you, but it does seem like he's referring to "Lord of War" more than "Gun Shop Owner." The guy selling RPGs to known criminals isn't the same as the guy who sells me my AR15s
