From Pepe on X
VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE
I now have TWO separate, definitive confirmations from TWO ultra high level intel sources from TWO separate Asian nations. Working to get a third - at least a partial acknowledgment.
I moved to Asia 30 years ago. Built a unparalleled network. Trust my top sources a billion per cent.
The original source that led to my first post reconfirmed he stands by it. His words:
"I'm honestly surprised that people are surprised. Do they really think if something like this happened it's gonna be presented to them in front of their TVs? It's like history has taught them nothing."
Working on a first column - probably out tomorrow.
Many thanks to all who offered informed, sharp comment and criticism. This should be a collective effort to get to what might have happened: the shape of it, not necessarily the details as they were leaked.

Discussion of this
“Ray of light”, says Pepe
Canadian Prepper is no dummy
⚡ALERT! F-35 NUCLEAR "LEAK", ISRAEL E.M.P PLAN FOR IRAN, USA FUNDS WW3, "SECRET" WEAPON WILL BE USED
A riposte from no one I know
Startling Pepe Escobar claim about Israeli F-35 carrying EMP nuke to Iran shot down over Jordan
Pepe Escobar is a fairly well-known and well-connected Brazilian journalist and geopolitical analyst who is an open BRICS 'multipolarity' shill with socialist leanings. He writes for Asia Times and is a frequent guest on RT, Sputnik etc
The guy tweeted that a very well-connected Asian source informed him that Russia shot down an Israeli F-35 carrying a nuclear EMP weapon towards Iran while flying over Jordan.
Of course, its possible that the guy is outright making this up for information warfare purposes. He notably shilled a story about an alleged NATO biolab under Azovstal in Mariupol named 'Pit-404' back in that phase of the Ukraine war:

Another possibility is that he's being 'played' by disinfo spooks posing as 'confidential inside sources.
Another possibility is its real. There was certainly some tumbleweed and crickets silent weirdness going on over Israel suddenly backing off from its revenge attack following the Iranian barrage. And that odd story of an F-35-fired missile dropping on Jordan and the 'nothingburger' quadcopter drone attack on Iran. That might be viewed as a kooky cover story in light of what Escobar is alleging (and as of now hasn't retracted after nearly 24 hours)….
I believe it's true.
Would like to know the two sources and the one he is working on the third. I would have to suspect that one would be China as there is no love lost between Chinese government and that of the Israelis. The second and third potential source is a mystery. India maybe? Or Pakistan?
