“IDF shoots down Houthi missile; sirens triggered in West Bank, Dead Sea area,” Times of Israel, 7-26-25.  “No injuries or damage reported in attack, the second launched by the Iran-backed Yemen group in 3 days.”

“Strikes on Iran thwarted fission and fusion nukes, and ‘electronic pulse’ bomb – report,” Times of Israel, 7-26-25.  First, “According to the report, the 12-day war with Iran also destroyed roughly half of Tehran’s 3,000 ballistic missiles and 80% of its 500 missile launchers. Unnamed Israeli sources were cited as saying Tehran was planning to raise its ballistic missile stockpile to at least 8,000.”  And can you imagine what EMP weapons would do to the U.S. or Europe?  It would end life as we know it.  Second, this appears to be the first we are hearing about Iran’s EMP program.  “Development of an EMP device was said to have been promoted by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as an alternative to nuclear arms, since atomic weapons are nominally banned under a religious decree by Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.”  (the fatwa has been repeatedly debunked on this blog).  Last, “A well-informed Israeli source cited in the report said “Iran is no longer a nuclear threshold state” … and would require one to two years to build a nuclear weapon, if it could do so covertly.”

“At least five killed in courthouse attack in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan,” Al Jazeera, 7-26-25.
