Very informative article- You don't hear much about it.  But it's an extremely powerful weapon in Israel's arsenal.      (From June 2012.) 

Some advantages:  Israel can claim no human harm to Iranians.  Iran would be sent back into the industrial equivalent of the mid- 1800's.  It would knock out the entire Iranian electric grid.

It's a long article-just skim through the headings if you don't have time to read the whole thing.

Yes, an EMP does major damage to civilian, infrastructure, etc.   But even the dumb iranians probably have shielded their military and nuclear electronics.

Yes! EMP is one of the solutions.
There are thunders and sparks in the skies, because Faraday invented the electricity.
