Upchuck, you’re very astute. What is your take on my posts #27 and #29.

Thank you for the kind words.

IMHO, the Jews have always been God's chosen people. I doubt the Israelis want to use a nuclear weapon, although they might be forced to use a low-yield nuclear bunker buster against Iran.

I've always thought a non-nuclear EMP weapon might be best. It could be launched from the Arabian sea. And it could be shaped to cause minimal damage to neighboring countries.

But even an EMP weapon might not be effective against Iran's deeply buried nuclear facilities. However the EMP would disrupt the surrounding infrastructure so that the buried facilities would, in effect, be rendered useless.

Iran could rebuild from an EMP attack. It would take them several years I suspect.

Iran could not rebuild from a nuclear attack.
