| #7 To develop your own nuke, as opposed to buying one from Pakistain, you need to test it. Underground testing is hidden from prying eyes, but is going to register on someone's seismograph. IIRC, when Kursk (the submarine, not the battle) sank and hit the sea floor, it tickled seismographs in the nearby Scandinavia. Given that Iran has been weeks/months/years away from having the bomb for gawd knows how long, seismic data might be the first indication that the game is finally on. That might be the ideal time for some preemptive 'pruning'. Assuming the IDF does not simply drive up in a U-Haul and steal it. |

| #3 Massive cyber-attack on Iran's major banks A massive cyber attack has hit major banks in Iran, including the Central Bank of Iran, London-based Iranian opposition-affiliated Iran International reported on Wednesday The attack significantly disrupted the financial activities in the country and it is still unclear if the Iranians have managed to overcome it. It caused most ATMs to stop working, not only in Tehran but in various other cities as well. According to the report, this is one of the largest cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure ever. According to foreign reports, Israel has carried out cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure in the past, including train stations and gas stations. |
