Israeli Strike in Iran: Cyber-attack, Ballistic Missiles
Arutz Sheva ^ | 16/8/12 | Elad Benari

Posted on 08/15/2012 4:01:28 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

What will an Israeli strike on Iran look like? American blogger Richard Silverstein on Wednesday published what he claimed is an Israeli briefing document outlining Israel’s war plans against Iran.

Silverstein, who authors the blog “Tikun Olam”, said the document was passed to him by a high-level Israeli source who received it from an IDF officer.

According to the document presented in the blog, the Israeli attack on Iran “will begin with a coordinated strike, including an unprecedented cyber-attack which will totally paralyze the Iranian regime and its ability to know what is happening within its borders. The internet, telephones, radio and television, communications satellites, and fiber optic cables leading to and from critical installations will be taken out of action. 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.”

Following the coordinated strike, according to the document, “A barrage of tens of ballistic missiles would be launched from Israel toward Iran. 300km ballistic missiles would be launched from Israeli submarines in the vicinity of the Persian Gulf. The missiles would not be armed with unconventional warheads [WMD], but rather with high-explosive ordnance equipped with reinforced tips designed specially to penetrate hardened targets.

“The missiles will strike their targets—some exploding above ground like those striking the nuclear reactor at Arak–which is intended to produce plutonium and tritium—and the nearby heavy water production facility; the nuclear fuel production facilities at Isfahan and facilities for enriching uranium-hexaflouride. Others would explode under-ground, as at the Fordo facility.

Is it a good idea to be talking about this?

Just detonate a single nuke high over Iran and the EMP will fry everything electronic. Make it clear that any retaliation by Iran will mean the next nukes will be detonated on Iranian military facilities.

Israeli disinformation seems to be escalating. Some of this might be done. Heck, the cyber attacks are happening every day.

Stuff like, if genuine, doesn’t get leaked unless a government wants it leaked, perhaps to send a message to the Iranian military.

If it’s disinformation and the mullahs buy it they will make a lot of costly changes that will be noticed and reveal lots of targets.

Wouldn’t it be easier to launch a missile strike on the next scheduled Mullahs Mah Jong game? One BOOM!, everyone into the streets and it is over. The Guard will throw down their weapons and run to where? Turkey, Syria, Iraq are all unfriendly countries.

They will be rounded up and shot. Students will form new governments and the traditional generals, the ones that actually talked to their Israeli counterparts from 35 years ago will take back the country.

Re: nearby heavy water production facility;

It is vital to take out the heavy water facility like the Allies tried to do to the Norsk heavy water facility in Norway during the war Heavy water can be used as a moderator in a non enriched uranium reactor for the production plutonium. This is what the Germans were planning and I have no doubt the Iranians are doing the same

Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We’re bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We’re coming in from the north, below their radar.

Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?

Ted Striker: I can’t tell you that. It’s classified.

Although I have no doubt that Israel is CAPABLE of all those things, I doubt whether this story and how this guy acquired the “plan” is legit.

If IDF personnel are so disloyal as to be passing out copies of attack plans, then Silverstein isn’t the ONLY one who is privy to it.

Rather than publishing their plans, wouldn’t it make more sense for Israel to just go ahead and DO it?

Kandy, you nailed it! If the IDF has leaks THAT severe, then I’m sure this “battle plan” was featured on Al Jazeerah and Iranian TV, also!

Thanks Eleutheria5.
Richard Silverstein on Wednesday published what he claimed is an Israeli briefing document outlining Israel’s war plans against Iran... authors the blog "Tikun Olam", said the document was passed to him by a high-level Israeli source who received it from an IDF officer.
