"Infrastructure" can mean a lot of things.
It can mean communication equipment and data-centers supporting banking and AI.
It can mean roads, rail and air-travel facilities.
It can mean oil refineries and electrical power generation plants.
It can mean grain silos, flour-mills, bakeries and butcher shops.
It can mean hospitals and waste-water treatment plants.
It can mean potable water conduits and desalination plants.
Destruction of some of these assets will cause little more than an inconvenience for the majority of people.
Others will cause a huge constriction in quality of life.
Still others will pose an immediate and dire threat to existing.
The Iranian Conflict proved to be a quick race to the bottom. It started with military targets but is now critical, civilian infrastructure is being targeted. You know, the very bottom of Maslow's hierarchy. The first few verses in the Law of Threes.
Iran, it is claimed, is targeting the water desalination plants that sustain the mega-cities lining the Persian Gulf possible. Link
It is good to live in a place where it rains on a regular basis.

ReplyDeleteBrought to you by the real-estate developers of Gaza.
Seems the attack from several international sites was from debris of interceptors against attacks against the US Naval Base there.
Meanwhile drought stricken Iran has had direct bomb them into the stone age attacks against civilian infrastructure to include water desalination on the 28th Feb.
Truth is the first casualty of war.
Meanwhile my friends in the 82nd Airborne have canceled training events and are enroute to locations unrevealed.
Google is now paying $300 to $500 per hour for doing work online work from home. Last paycheck of me said that $20537 from this easy and simple job. Its amazing and earns are awesome.

Hopefully we will not see the direct effects of such on our country.

If a false flag nuke occurs remember the only nation in the middle east with a known arsenal of nuclear weapons is Israel.
ReplyDeleteAlso notice how much of our recycled tax dollars they spent on THIS:
Jericho III
It is believed that the Jericho III (YA-4) is a nuclear-armed ICBM[33][34] that entered service in 2011.[35] The Jericho III is believed to have two or three-stages, using solid propellant and having a payload of 1,000 to 1,300 kg. The payload could be a single 750 kg (150–400 kiloton)[35] nuclear warhead or two or three low-yield MIRV warheads. It has an estimated launch weight of 30,000 kg and a length of 15.5 m with a width of 1.56 m. It may be similar to an upgraded and re-designed Shavit space launch vehicle, produced by Israel Aerospace Industries. It probably has longer first and second-stage motors. It is estimated by missilethreat.com that it has a range of 4,800 to 6,500 km (3,000 to 4,000 mi),[36] though a 2004 missile proliferation survey by the Congressional Research Service put its possible maximum range at 11,500 km (missile range is inversely proportional to payload mass).[37]
According to an official report that was submitted to the U.S. Congress in 2004, it may be that with a payload of 1,000 kg the Jericho III gives Israel nuclear strike capabilities within the entire Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and almost all parts of North America, as well as large parts of South America and North Oceania. Missile Threat reports: "The range of the Jericho 3 also provides an extremely high impact speed for nearby targets, enabling it to avoid any Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) defenses that may develop in the immediate region."
ODD how they so busy defending themselves from hostile neighbors NEEDED the ability to launch nuclear weapons across AMERICA.
It's not cheap nor easy to develop real long range ballistic missiles as even recent "Little Rocket man" North Korea has shown.
Gee, Almost sad our MOST EVIL Iran hasn't in 47 years built such a weapon system.
Oh BTW in the curious department is this:
Israel's Dolphin-class submarines are equipped with nuclear-capable cruise missiles, providing the country with a potent second-strike capability and enhancing its nuclear deterrent.
Overview of Dolphin-Class Submarines
The Dolphin-class submarines, developed by Germany and operated by the Israeli Navy, are diesel-electric submarines designed for various missions, including intelligence gathering, special operations, and deterrence patrols. Currently, Israel operates five Dolphin-class submarines, with the latest addition being the INS Drakon, which is believed to carry advanced missile systems.
I'll not flood this site with just how FAR and powerful their nuclear weapons AGAIN designed to reach all of Europe and farther given the Subs ability to wander stealthily across oceans.
Almost like the destroyers of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and now it seems with its rent a navy Iran has DESIGNED nukes to attack the entire world.
I am not Jewish, so everything written after this line is speculation.
DeleteBased on the history of the last hundred years, if Israel developed a delivery system capable of nuclear payloads, the political reality is that it would almost certainly have the capability of reaching Berlin...and Brussels.
That would be insurance that the antisemitism that wiped out 6 million Jews would have second thoughts about subcontracting the job to forces hostile to Israel in the middle-east.
The classic Mexican standoff.
"According to an official report that was submitted to the U.S. Congress in 2004, it may be that with a payload of 1,000 kg the Jericho III gives Israel nuclear strike capabilities within the entire Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia and almost all parts of North America, as well as large parts of South America and North Oceania.

DeleteFeickert is pulling his estimated 11,500 km range out of his posterior. He did not use the rocket equation because the Israelis have never released sufficient information to make this determination.
In any event, such ranges are extremely unlikely in a 30 metric ton, solid fueled missile. Feickert seems to have falsely attributed the demonstrated performance of NorK liquid fueled missiles with the much inferior performance of solid fueled missiles. The rocket scientists at Wikipedia missed this.
"The rocket scientists at Wikipedia missed this."
DeleteI was with a group of people discussing a challenging issue when a member of management made a dismissive comment about the difficulty of the problem. That is when Robert Little of Altair Engineering said "Actually, this IS "rocket science". But don't worry. We can handle it. We are engineers."
Potable water is gold when / if the grid disappears. Those who have a ready easy source of it are very lucky indeed. In our case, our ground water is generally saline and distallation will be necessary for obtaining it. Which also adds fuel to heat the pot, adding to the problems. Solar (SODIS) may become our solution.
ReplyDeleteTwo days ago, U.S. aircraft destroyed an Iranian water desalination plant on Qeshm Island, possibly in preparation for a raid. The IRGC immediately responded by destroying the water desalination plant feeding the 5th Fleet Headquarters at Naval Support Activity Bahrain.
ReplyDeleteSince then, the major attacks have been on fuels and powerplants. Note that desalination is very power intensive and electrical grid attacks are a backdoor route to end desalination, without the opprobrium of doing so directly.
