Report: Possible EMP Strike On Iran? -- Bill Gertz, Washington Free BeaconU.S. sees signs Israel could use nuclear EMP attack against Iran.
U.S. intelligence agencies recently reported growing concerns that Israel will conduct a strike on Iran using a high-altitude nuclear burst aimed at disrupting all electronics in the country.
The intelligence worries were triggered by recent publication of an article in the Israeli press suggesting the Jewish state should carry out an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, attack.

My Comment: It's not going to happen. Conducting an unprovoked EMP strike against Iran will be condemned by almost every nation on the planet. It will also "formally" reveal Israel's nuclear capabilities, and will increase tensions (and a probable nuclear arms race by other countries) in the Middle East. This is one Rubicon that you do not want to cross.

ReplyDeleteU.S. officials said the article likely reflects official Israeli government thinking..."
So a media publication in Israel with an article written by an editor who has that opinion has somehow raised concerns with U.S Intelligence agencies that Israel will conduct a nuclear strike and that for some reason this means the Israeli government is on the same page...?
Well, that was a good laugh.
Think the Washington Free Beacon, citing un-named sources, yada yada, must be desperate for some extra viewers to somehow suggest that U.S intelligence is worried over a published article with a formed opinion that is most likely not related to anything within the Israeli government.
The possibility of a surprised EMP strike is so remote it is just laughable to report it.
If you had a humor section, this would probably be put into it.
Well, if Israel is uncable of doing any serious damage to Iran by conventional means, why not? I'm suspicious that Israeli leaders have a very different way of thinking and that they rather loose international support than cease to exist (as per their logic) if they are cornered enough. I really hope you are right though.
