EMP - my first thought as well.
Folks, go get the Jericho series...
it might be a documentary.
most of the bums posting on this thread don’t know what an EMP attack is...
(they will use google after seeing this and that is the point, not to insult anymore)
Ha, I have watched that entire series twice on netflix stream..still not tired of it.
The first article I ever read that mentioned both EMP and Iran said that a single EMP pop over Tehran would instantly decapitate the mullahs’ command and control and turn the entire nation into the world’s largest kicked-over fire ant mound. The resulting electronic turmoil and confusion would degrade the Rev Guards’ ability to police the country, and liberation just might break out (yes, I know like the “Arab Spring”, be careful what you wish for).
Anyway, Iamadamnnutjob keeps shooting his mouth off and Israel is still there, so why should anyone believe that the Iranian Navy will soon be crossing the pond?
I wish you hadn't said that ... and I don't even own a television.

I like the fact that Texas or the “Republic of Texas” is portrayed as “The Goos Guys” in that series.
Of course it kinda makes sense, but in the scenario the nukes were detonated onthe ground in cities so the EMP wouldn’t be nearly as bad as a space based EMP attack via short range ballistic missle over the US.
I would imagine if Iran stuck they would detonate multiple EMP payloads at once from multiple rockets top prevent us from attempting to shoot down the missles, if only one makes it through we are SOL.
Don’t they have to build a working bomb first?
As long as they stay out of the twelve-mile limit, they are fine. However, if they cross that line, I can think of a few fighter wings from Maine to Florida that would greet them warmly.
