Report: Iran Prepared for Nuclear EMP Attack on US
2015-03-21
"The issue of an Iranian nuclear strike that could do immense damage to the United States was raised in Israel this week in an opinion piece by U.S. analyst Peter Vincent Pry warning of the possibility of an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack targeting the United States.
Doomed I tell you. We're DOOOOOMED !
In the article, published on the Israeli website Arutz Sheva, Pry warned that "Iranian military documents describe such a scenario -- including a recently translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack against the United States."

A source said that the textbook discusses an EMP attack on America in 20 different places, the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard reported Thursday.

Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks, who is leading an effort to protect the U.S. electric grid from an EMP attack, has reportedly made similar claims based on the document translated by military authorities. A threat once dismissed by critics, Bedard notes, "recent moves by Iran and North Korea have given credibility to the potential EMP threat from an atmospheric nuclear explosion over the U.S."
Latest News Update

Pry has suggested ways for Iran to deliver a nuclear attack including a ship launched off the East Coast, via a satellite or utilizing a missile."
The change we've been waiting for?

#2  Not far enough!
Some have barely made it to the stone age.
Maybe back to the beginning of time.
They can call it, "The Big Bang".

#1  With an Obama at the lead, it becomes possible. Any other Prez would authorize a non-EMP nuke attack on the perp basically reducing the target back to the stone age.
