I have always believed that the Iranian regime would topple if it was decapitated by EMP pops that destroy its command & control. The people would immediately rise up, like they tried to do in 2009, f*** you very much, Obama.
IMO the Israelis have EMP very much in mind. They will use missiles in self defense, but EMP could turn Iran into the world’s largest kicked over fire ant mound, with little loss of life. Heck, spare as many Iranian civilian lives as possible, and every mullah & ayatollah will be decorating a lamp post.
“...every mullah & ayatollah will be decorating a lamp post...”
I like the imagery.
There’s still that little thing about the civilians NOT having small arms though... EMP doesn’t affect an AK74 or AK47, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards are armed to the teeth.
They’d be slaughtered.
