Lets hope we’re not the only ones exploring this possibility.

It would need to be at least a 1 megaton device, exploded at an optimum altitude to do the trick, IIRC. Although test have been done with smaller ones.

500 Kilotons shuts down at least half the US if exploded at 400 - 500 KM AGL. LEO detonation can cripple VA - MA.

I’m fairly confident that we

COULD

laser it or something similar

from space or from earth or from various . . . craft in between or in space.

However, if the oligarchy has decreed for Iran to succeed at it, then they would insure that our forces would allow it . . . however treasonously.

imho
