Israel could debut deadly ‘EMP bombs’ that destroy electricity if Iran attacks | World | News
Israel could potentially unleash deadly Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) bombs on Iran if the latter initiates an attack, escalating World War 3 fears. The tension between Israel and its neighbouring foes has been intensifying in recent months due to the ongoing war in Gaza.
Despite global leaders urging for an “immediate ceasefire”, rumours have emerged that Iran is preparing to launch an assault on Israel.
In a potential last-ditch effort, Israel‘s embattled leader Benjamin Netanyahu may resort to deploying EMP bombs on Iran as a countermeasure. An anonymous security and defence expert revealed to the Daily Star: “If Iran does decide to attack Israel directly by attacking strategic sites in Israel, there is going to be a very unconventional response from Israel.”
“For the first time ever in history, a new type of bomb will be used. It’s called the Electromagnetic bomb (E-bomb). It will be used against Teheran and other major centres in Iran. It will also be used in the areas where the Iranian nuclear facilities are found.”
The bomb itself does not directly kill people, as it delivers an EMP pulse capable of taking out all electronic devices within an as-yet unknown radius. And while this means that most of Tehran’s infrastructure could immediately cease to function, it could be the one “ace” that Israel has up its sleeve, the expert added.
“To destroy Iran’s ability to literally function could be key for Israel. Fighting another war, but this time against a much bigger enemy in Iran, is not something the world needs as it could spill over into a real world war however, Israel‘s only hope could be the EMP bombs, as it would allow time for them and everyone else to regroup and figure out the next steps.”
Iran’s Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said earlier this week that Israel would be “slapped” after the country launched an airstrike on a building in Damascus that killed seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard, including two generals.
It had been claimed last night that videos of missiles heading to Iran bases for use against Israel on lorries was filmed by a member of the public, but this was not verified independently.
