Analyst's note: Millions of Iranians would likely die within a year is Israel electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is dropped over Iran. The Heritage’s Michaela Bendikova and Jessica Zuckerman have written about the impact of an EMP:
A successful EMP attack – a high-intensity burst of electromagnetic energy caused by a rapid acceleration of charged particles – would fundamentally change the world. Airplanes would fall from the sky; most cars would be inoperable; electrical devices would fail. Water, sewer, and electrical networks would fail simultaneously. Systems of banking, energy, transportation, food production and delivery, water, emergency services, and even cyberspace would collapse.
It would take years – possibly decades – to restore the [...] electricity supply. Recovery abilities would be critically limited, and the country would be challenged to support current population levels. Millions would likely die.
The pressure builds as Israel works to determine how best to protect itself (and the free world) from Iran and the Islamist jihadists who are working to gain their ultimate weapon of terror. I recommend an internal site search on the term "Electromagnetic Pulse" and "Club-K" for additional insight regarding this matter. Here are just a few such related articles:
