Nuclear Attack

A political analyst has detailed the Israeli regime’s nuclear capability, saying that with over 300-400 atomic bombs, Tel Aviv has turned into a “nuclear nightmare” and a depiction of “apocalyptic horror.”

“With over 300 to 400 nuclear bombs, Israel has been translated into an image of apocalyptic horror for the entire Middle East if not for the world,” wrote Dr. Ismail Salami, a prolific Iranian author and Middle East expert, in an article published on Press TV’s website on Wednesday.

Pointing to the Samson Option theory, explained by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Seymour M. Hersh in his 1991 book , he noted that “Israel reserves the option to retaliate massively with nuclear weapons when its existence is gravely endangered by the military might of another country although the regime refuses to admit to the possession of a huge nuclear arsenal.”

“In fact, the Samson Option is a horrific plan drawn up by Israel leaders to take down the Middle East and the entire world if necessary and proclaimed ‘kosher’ <legitimate>,” the political analyst added.

Salami went on to say that according to revelations made by Hersh, the Israeli regime has produced “three to five bombs a year” since the 1950s when it started its nuclear weapons program.

“After all, Israel started its illegal nuclear activities back in 1950 in Dimona, an Israeli city in the Negev desert, as it was geographically ideal for such clandestine activities,” he pointed out.

The author of Human Rights in Islam also referred to the nuclear cooperation between the Israeli regime and France to “build an underground plutonium processing facility for Israel in 1962,”

Israel’s foreign minister is in Washington. There’s a lot to talk about.

Politicians and diplomats can be surprisingly coy about asking direct questions, even in private. So, “are you going to plunge us into a war in an election year?” may remain unspoken.

The drumbeat of war has grown louder in the past few days.
The Washington Post reported that US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta believes Israel could attack Iran as early as this spring.

Mr Panetta did not deny the story.

This was reinforced by a fascinating and incredibly detailed articleby the Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman.

“After speaking with many senior Israeli leaders and chiefs of the military and the intelligence, I have come to believe that Israel will indeed strike Iran in 2012,” Mr Bergman concludes.

This is the argument: there is less than a year to stop Iran moving into “the immunity zone”.more from bbc thank you battleskin88


Target Iran – Air Strikes
The German magazine Der Spiegel reported in October 2004 that Israel had completed plans for a pre-emptive strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities. Der Spiegel reported that a special unit of the Mossad had received order in July 2004 to prepare a detailed plan, which had been delivered to the Israeli Air Force. The source for the report, an IAF pilot, said the plan to take out Iran’s nuclear sites was “complex, yet manageable.” Israel’s plan assumes that Iran has six nuclear sites, all of which would be attacked simultaneously.

It would be difficult for Israel to strike at Iran without American knowledge, since the mission would have to be flown through American <formerly Iraqi> air space. Even if the United States did not actively participate with operations inside Iranian air space, the US would be a passive participant by virtue of allowing Israeli aircraft unhindered passage. In the eyes of the world, it would generally appear to be a joint US-Israeli enterprise, any denials notwithstanding. Indeed, it is quite probable that Iran would not be able to readily determine the ultimate origins of the strike, given Iran’s relatively modest air defense capabilities. Thus, even if the strike were entirely of American origin, Israel would be implicated. When asked in August 2004 about Israeli threats to attack Iran, Bush’s national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, declined to say whether the United States would support such action by Israel.From globalsecurity.org

NUCLEAR WEAPON EFFECTS from Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the present and beyond: a broad-gauged analysis with new information regarding SIMULTANEOUS DETONATIONS and Firestorms:

THE BLAST

This web page will illustrate the effects of nuclear weapons, whether used singularly or in groups. It employs pictures, eyewitness accounts, and analysis of the physics. It reviews the extent of death and injury within specific ranges and shows the influence of nuclear blast forces and resulting firestorms.

The size of weapons: The one megaton size weapon is no longer widely used. Most of the literature that focuses on one megaton weapons is dated and of limited use for assessing blast damage. It was principally in the late 1950 and 1960s when megaton weapons were in vogue in the U.S. and comprised the bulk of its strategic nuclear weapons. The trend has been to move away from weapons in the megaton range. This trend is not a consequence of nations becoming choir boys. It is because they can produce more effective destruction with weapons in the 100 Kt to 550 Kt range <greater destruction per unit of weight>.

The overwhelming majority of nuclear weapons in all nuclear weapon nations are less than one megaton <China comes the closest to being an exception to this rule with roughly 73% of its weapons reportedly being 300 Kt or less, and the remaining 77 of its weapons perhaps being 3.3 megatons or greater>.

For comparison, note that the Hiroshima bomb was 12.5 to 15 Kt in size. The Nagasaki bomb was approximately 21 Kt. The U.S. weapons now fall principally within the 100 Kt to 375 Kt range, the average being approximately 250 Kt. And the majority of Russia weapons are 550 Kt; the average size is roughly 400 Kt.

Population: Population density is a key component in the problem. When you go to the following site link, enter the zip code of the area of interest at the left on the first line; then enter the radius at the right on the first line, and click on the button on the first line to the right that states "Find All Zip Codes". By doing so you can get population density.

Enter Your Zip Code to Get Population Density

Population in the area at the time a nuclear blast occurs, of course, varies according to time of day, location, resident population density, and other factors. For the United States you can readily determine resident population densities at different radii for a hypothetical attack by clicking here .

For population densities in other nations, the new downloadable computer program Nukefix on its "War-Room Plans" page provides an extensive analysis indicating the number of weapons required to attack populations sorted according to population density. The program Nukefix makes this information available so that the citizenry can anticipate the factors that their own nation, and adversary nuclear nations, are capable of considering in their war plans.
