Mahnaimi claims Israel planning EMP attack on Iran
The often-excitable Uzi Mahnaimi, the Jerusalem correspondent for the Sunday Times of London, claims that Israel is planning an electromagnetic pulse attack on Iran, which could send the mullahcracy back to the 8th century. According to the Sunday morning report, the Jewish state could cripple the Islamic Republic's power grid with electromagnetic pulses as part of a concerted attack to halt Iran's military nuclear program, which could "send Iran back to the Stone Age."What else do they expect us to do? We have to shut Iran's program down somehow. No one else will!
The report, by Uzi Mahnaimi, claims that the possible use of such a weapon has been raised in several quarters as a debate rages among Israel’s politicians about whether a swift strike should be launched against Iran's nuclear facilities.
Bill Gertz, a veteran American defense specialist, is quoted as saying that US intelligence agencies have reported “growing concerns that Israel will conduct a strike on Iran using a high-altitude nuclear burst aimed at disrupting all electronics in the country."

The newspaper quotes Uzi Rubin, who helped develop Israel’s anti-missile defense shield, as saying that “the use of a nuclear device even for non-lethal use such as EMP is out of the question. There are methods to operate EMP from the ground.”

This can happen to anyone anywhere in the world. And if the power doesn't go out because of an EMP, look to the EPA to handle the shut down! ;)
Just read this book and you won't sleep again for ages until your wonderful human brain has you forget all about it...

That's the ticket. We'll just get EPA to issue a ruling that Iran falls under EPA jurisdiction under Section 434.A Paragraph 33 of the Clean Air, Waterways, and Standing Puddles Act, as Amended, and they'll shut Iran's industry down tighter than a gnat's anus.
