Iran's President's death sounds a little fishy to me. Turns out he was using an old Bell 212 helicopter for official travels. The point of using an old machine like that is it has few electronic parts, so it's less affected by EMP attacks.
In this incident, there's no way an EMP attack had even a 0.5% chance. The easiest way to shoot him down would be with a MANPAD missile, but those can be detected with DIRCM.
From what I found on Google about the actual helicopter, it seems like there wasn't any DIRCM on it. Unbelievably, even during the LTTE times, Sri Lankan VIP helicopters never used it either. Sometimes developed countries bust out crazy advanced weapons to wreck stuff without a trace
Bell Helicopter also uses a black box to record all radio conversations and meteorological status. Nobody ever mentions that.
.
On the other hand, some secret agency might have wanted to silence him to keep the world safe from nukes. The Mossad's the top nightmare for those fighting for Israel.
