What in the world would be the strategic advantages of C? This would be like loudly shitting your pants so you have an excuse to leave a party early without making the host feel bad. With over 1000 people involved, this whole Havana syndrome thing has disrupted the United States diplomatic efforts on an international scale, the constant rotation of embassy diplomats over this has had real world impact, even if non-obvious. While elaborate conspiracies are nothing new to the intelligence community, I think this would go beyond elaborate and into the realm of insane.

You might think it strange the US warned the houthis they were going to bomb the weapons storages. However this does two things, causes the houthis to try to move things out of the way and causes the civilians to evacuate areas they know contain weapons. Both of which the US watch for to expand their list of targets.

For example, they might move known specialists to locations that you’ve never associated with the kind of work those specialists do, possibly revealing secret sites. You might cause your enemy to pause their program while they review, buying time for you to learn how to defend yourself better.
