Anybody that thinks of using Nuclear weapons is insane. Israel should wait and let the US strike Iran. It doesn't have the sustained military power or diplomatic clout to deal with Iran short of using nuclear weapons which is insane. Do not let this genie out of the bottle.

Thousands of patients in hospitals on life suport will die, including premature babies. The water pumping stations and water treatment and sewage will all stop leading to 100s of thousands of deaths by thirst and disease. I would expect this to be one of the worst humanitarian disasters in human history, as bad as the Tsunami or the Haiti earthquake. The Israeli leadership will end up in the Hauge charged with the war crime of mass civilian murder by way of EMP shutting down the needed infrastructure to support life.

This is exactly what Assad, Iran wanted. Don't play their game. Be patient, control yourself, focus on Assad. Assad goes down, Iran will lose a big ally. Iraq is a toothless tiger. Iran without Syria and Iraq are nothing. Lebanon is a weak country. Focus on Assad, Syria is more powerful than Iraq and Lebanon combined. Save the EMP and nukes in case Jordan, Egypt, Saudi, Sudan, Iran, Syria attack Israel. If Lebanon attacks or Syria attacks, send everyone back to stone age.

What if an EMP pulse over Iran doesn't conveniently stop at the border and ends up devastating the infrastructure of a neighboring nation such as an ally of Israel's like Azerbaijan? Would the pulse affect the whole nation of Iran or just individual spots?

would be the Iranian leadership sitting comfortably with their ample supply of generators and not giving a rat's ass about the people, just like it is now.

War is not nice. But this is a case of existential survival. The consequences are on Iran for their threats and building a nuclear arsenal to extinguish Israel. To blameshift Israel is unconscionable. If Iran is sent back to the Stone Age and Tehran glows in the dark for the rest of human history it will serve as a deterrent warning: Do NOT threaten to extinguish the people of the Bible, who serve the Creator-Singularity. I seem to remember the phrase "Never again!" Now, the same people yet again crumble and become willing to walk into the ovens expecting to find cookies. Oh, I forgot. That's a verboten analogy to the Holocaust and our free speech is being taken away (mostly be ynet censors who refuse to publish most of my posts and I see significant similar complaints from many others). If it doesn't fit ynet's agenda, you won't see it unless the ynet editors don't realize the implications.

Seemingly these narcastic commentators feel they are really intelligent by oiling the rumor mill by providing Leaks and squeaks at the expense of national security. Thank you for telling your number one enemies how you are going to defeat them. Every success Israel has had militarily has been because it was able to use the element of surprise but thanks to useful idiots the people of Israel will have to deal with the threat of Iran as the west did with the soviets in the cold war- for an uncomfortably uncertain period. Thank God every season even, the uncertain ones have an expiration date. Let's pray for the peace of Jerusalem and keep doing the right thing so that the end is in our favor and not theirs.

I dont recall you calling Iran to stop with its threats to wipe out Israel, should that hapen would you concider tis a "war crime" and your answer is yes than either Iran makes a public statement that it has no intent in destroying Israel and allow free inspections of all there sites. If your answer is "No" than go back to sipping your maple syrup and pray we keep you safe.

Let them be warned never to even think messing with Israel.

.....for Israel too. With the whole of Israel not much bigger than Teheran, Israel would be an easier proposition.

Would Israel be willing to have its nuclear sites too?

Empty bravado from Jews as usual...

#'s 1 & 2. What in the world do you think they have planned for Israel when they get all their nukes ready. And they DO have a few already. They will do the same to the Americans just as soon as they are able. What did you think, it would be a land invasion to wipe Israel off the map??? This is the way it is now. Would you rather have Israel take it's chances on retaliation, or first strike? It won't be Hiroshima yet, just a low yield EMP to burn out iran's electronics and end their nuclear production line. Who would you rather see survive?

The Leftists and Arab-firsters want Israel to attack Iran, and then accuse Israel of war crimes to destroy her. An Israeli attack, no matter how justified, will be used by our real enemies as an excuse. All Israel can and needs to do now is ensure her population, infrastructure and economic assets are spread out to survive at attack, whether by Sunni or Shia. If you care about Israel, demand that Netanyahu build three hospitals: in Kdumim, Ariel and Gush Etzion. That is the only thing that will save us,

> With the whole of Israel not much bigger than Teheran, Israel would be an easier proposition Perhaps, Robert, but if Iran uses a WMD on Israel, Israel would likely launch retaliatory nuclear strikes on Iran. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be much left of Iran at all.

If you knock out the power of any nation that is as reliant on electricity as Iran is, it would cause massive casualties of innocent lives. Israel won't do it. Without power, literally millions of people could perish before power is restored (it would take many months). Hospital patients would perish, children, etc. Its not in the cards unless Iran was already armed with Nukes. And NO people, Israel would NOT use a nuke to do it (I mean get real). It can be done from the ground (like the article says). But its just an insane idea. It would be an enormous humanitarian disaster and Israel would never be forgiven. But Israel isn't in the business of harming innocent people so this article by the Brits is a bust. It will be conventional. Remember: Israel has more than likely possessed nukes BEFORE the '67 war and Yom Kippur, BOTH of which were existential and Israel DID NOT use the weapon. Its simply a deterrent or in a MAD scenario which will not occur. Am Yisrael Chai. We can knock Iran's nuke program out conventionally.

(1) ALL nuclear blasts contaminate the atmosphere with very nasty byproducts which rain down on the people downwind. (2) There are three nuclear powers downwind of Iran that just may retaliate against Israel and he US woudl be unable to prevent it. (3) Setting off any nuclear device will get Israel severely sanctioned by the entire globe and the US woudl be unable to protect Israel. The Israelis economy woudl collapse and Israelis woudl starve. The bottom line is IF Israel sets off even one nuke,it will be committing suicide.

Scenerio.It has happened for the last eight years with stories beyond comprehension as if Iran is toothless.It is a joke indeed!!

within and without our nation-state of Israel, have no desire or interest to harm anyone!! But, we also insist that others don't plan to harm us, and don't prepare to bring about the demise of our national home and the annihilation of six additional million Jews who live in it. Therefore, let us hope the world stop Iran now from any further development of nuclear weapons and the means with which to deliver them.

As the Sunday Times article states, non-nuclear EMP weapons may also be available in Israel's arsenal. These would allow a much more focused attack on nuclear and other military targets without crippling Iran's entire civilian infrastructure.

Iran has few surprises up its sleeve, by throwing Iranian rice & pistas nuts

Haven't you watched The Flintstones?

It is technically impossible to produce Gamma ray intensity high enough to disrupt the atmosphere from a non-nuclear source. This is pure fiction designed to hoodwink the non-scientific public. This type of garbage is what happens when 99% of the public is grossly ignorant about science.

as nuclear arms as Iran is aquiring. Iran is 100 time bigger than Israel. If only one Iranian rockets slips through Israel's defense system it can be end of Israel. This is a metter of surviving. Of the two I preferred Israel. After 40 years of iranian Revolution the brain washing of the Oraninas have made it's effect. I am sure like in the arab world most people hate Israel to death. Israel has tried by all means to get along. Israel has develope a very modern society based in democratic syiste. Arabs and iranians no. For example if you see the mapa of Palestine, it's all of Israel, plus the West Bank and Gaza. Which means no Israel. So when they talk of peace they talk of BS Israel has waited more than 5 years for Isran to halt it's nuclear program. Iran's response is Whipe israel out of the earth. Why do you demand more from Israel and not from Iran or arabs. Know Iran amd Hisbollah are buiding a Base in Nicaragua to taget american and israeli Targets in Central and South America. Why dont yoou talk to them? Why dont you write in their Newspaper and preach to them?

but you have my permission to send them deeper in.
