WASHINGTON -- A prominent left-wing blogger has published what is claimed to be an outline of Israel's attack plan against Iran. Richard Silverstein, on his blog Tikun Olam, has posted a report that is based, according to Silverstein, on a briefing document prepared by the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Silverstein's blog is known for breaking news banned for publication in Israel due to military censorship.
According to the post, Israel has set out a four-step plan for its attack on Iran's nuclear sites, if and when the cabinet gives military commanders the green light.

First, Israel will carry out an unprecedented cyber-attack which will totally paralyze the Iranian regime and its ability to know what is happening within its borders, according to the claimed outline of the attack plan, which Silverstein states came from an IDF officer.

The electrical grid throughout Iran will be paralyzed and transformer stations will absorb severe damage from carbon fiber munitions which are finer than a human hair, causing electrical short circuits whose repair requires their complete removal, according to the document.
Next, the Israelis will rain missiles both from their own soil and from nearby submarines that will target Irans nuclear facilities. The warheads, the blog claims, will be conventional but will include special ammunition built to penetrate Irans underground facilities. In the third phase, an Israeli satellite will pass over the region and collect data assessing the damage caused to the targets. This information will quickly be relayed to Israeli Air Force jets already en route so they can adjust their targeting. The Israeli air strike, Silverstein writes, will be carried out by warplanes equipped with stealth capabilities unknown even to the United States. They will bomb not only nuclear facilities but also missile sites and other factories, and bases involved in the nuclear program.
Silverstein?
Isn’t that a Jewish name?
This guy is a NTBK Traitor.
Plausible. Funny thing is that even with advanced warning, there is little the Iranians could do to prevent this type of attack. Big question though is will it be strategically successful from the Israeli perspective and just how will the US be involved. Things will get ugly.
There is a reason Obama has been all over the world, has time for over 200 golf games and over 200 campaign events this year already but can't find time to visit Israel.
“stealth capabilities unknown even to the United States”
Oh, please, LOL.
he’s never been and never will be in Isreal, that bowing tour he took established that long ago.
Isreal=Israel
3 things I have never heard of: Carbon fiber munitions that do what the article says they do, Stealth technology that not even the US knows about and the strange way of describing bunker busters.
Hopefully this document contained some coded piece of information that will help Israeli inteligence trace the leaker and take appropriate action
If it were me I’d blow up every dam in the country and use an EMP to fry their power grid. Let the mullahs spend the next decade worrying about how to feed their people as opposed to building a bomb.
"You Worthy Oriental Gentlemen had better shape up, 'cause look at what we're afixin' to rain on your ass...."
Now for a dose of reality: Taking out key transformer substations in the grid in an area the size of Western Europe? How? Planes? Teams on the Ground? Sure, Power grids are very vulnerable. But, the Iranian military probably has back-ups ready to go on line just like ours, or Israel's. The civilians live with really shaky power anyway.
IAF jets "already on route?" From where? A one-way mission? Stealth "unkown to even the US...." OK, but can they fly a 5000 mile mission w/o refueling? A missile attack "with conventional Warheads." Nonsense. Do about as much damage to a hardened underground facility ... presuming one knew where every last one was to within 3 feet ... as a cheese blintz.
Good plan. PSYOPS ... but a good plan.
The real plan? A nuke with the 12th Imam's Holy Well at Ground Zero. Or somehow starting a civil war within Iran, with the military restoring the Shah?
I really don’t think that Israel will attack but will be attacked by at least 5 neighbors. That will be the game changer.
Yeah, that phrase stopped me, too. But with an avowed Jew-hater and traitor in the White Hut, I’m thinking Israel might be doing some very covert R&D.
How do you say “Loose Lips Sink Ships” in Yiddish/Hebrew???
I told Ben not to share this with the little “o”...but he wouldn’t listen.
Why is this guy still alive? He is no better than an Iranian agent.
We used them during Desert Storm I.
