Did Israel try to NUKE Iran?

On April 20th, Journalist Pepe Escobar claimed that an Israeli F-35 loaded with a nuclear weapon was shot down over Jorden by Russia. The intent was to detonate an EMP or Electromagnetic pulse weapon over Iran. I don't believe this happened.

The original tweet was here:

I don't think this is correct for 4 reasons:

#1. If Russia had shot down an F-35 they would let everyone in the world know.

#2. There is no tactical reason to do this, especially since it would turn the world against Israel.

#3. An F-35 is an 80 million dollar plane. Israel only has 36 of them. Someone would notice if one were missing.

#4. In order to "lob" a bomb into near-space where an EMP could be effective (roughly 19 miles / 30 km). This would mean an F-35 would have to fly at 90 degrees at full afterburner (1.6 Mach), until 50,000 feet, toss the bomb and then escape. This would throw the weapon roughly 30,661 feet or 18.9 miles into the sky, which is just under what you would need to make an EMP weapon effective.

I believe that this is highly unlikely.
