Terrorism. What about this inflicts terror? I guess you might be a bit scared, but not really all that scared. It's not like someone developed a virus to slowly irradiate people having x-rays.

Swap the names of the countries, and think about how it would have been reported if Iran had done the exact same thing to Israel/US.

"think about how it would have been reported"
