(26,110 posts)43. Yes, he could destroy the Iranian civilization without using nukes..
Non nuclear bombs can destroy ALL the safe water in the country. Destruction of power plants can put the entire nation literally in the dark and destroy all communications into, out of, and within the country. All radio, TV, and computer systems would be out of commission. Hospitals would case to function. Massive disease breakouts without food, water, and sanitation.
If he bombs nuclear power plants, the radiation would contaminate any remaining or stocked up food and water.
All without dropping a single nuke.
