The report shouts for someone to stop Iran before this happens. The military action that headlines will scream about today will save tens of millions on all sides. And I don’t wish to receive the fallout here from large nukes detonated above ground.

We survived decades of US, Soviet and Chinese above ground testing. Just don’t eat the snow.

I would suspect that the Isrealis, not wanting to excessively polute their own backyard in the case of nuclear attack against a beligerant neighbor, has probably kept the yields small, and probably has opted for Neutron-type, enhanced radiation warheads which will not produce much, if any, fallout.

Like us, they know how to build them. Unlike us, they weren't stupid enough to impose a ban on themselves against their use.

These warheads kill living things, have very little in the way of a blastwave, and leave little or no residual radiation.

It is pure speculation on my part as to whether or not they have them, but they would be stupid not to have built a least a few given the proximity of their enemies.
