Iran's surprising decision to move warships off the Atlantic coast poses a potential catastrophic threat to America from a nuclear or electromagnetic pulse attack, according to an expert who foresaw Iran's move.
Peter Pry, an expert on EMP attacks, said the ships are likely a dry run for a future attack, a maneuver meant to lull Washington into complacency while also embarrassing President Obama and his effort to convince Tehran to give up production of a nuclear bomb in return for a lifting of some economic sanctions.
“Yes, patrols by the Iranian Navy off our coasts could pose threat of a surprise EMP attack,” said Pry, who with others such as former CIA Director R. James Woolsey, has convinced several state legislatures to take moves to harden their electric and energy grids from EMP attack because Washington won't.

You seem to have your races and brands of religion confused.
Exactly what many in the Persian government want - worldwide cataclysm, thus summoning the Twelfth Imam out from whatever well he's napping in, and Islam ruling the world.
Is that anything like unexpected?
Are you absolutely certain?
Nonsense.
While many may subscribe to this gibberish, even the Mad Mullah’s from Persia understand that what will be unleashed could quite possibly end with the annihilation of most life on the planet. The Middle East will burn first and foremost and more likely than not nothing in that area will survive.
There won’t be a world for Islam to rule, not to mention there won’t be an Islam if they push it too far. They know this, and anyone who isn’t kidding themselves knows this as well.
I couldn’t think of a better reason to permanently remove Islam from the planet than to do what you seem to believe they are eager to do. The rest of the world, or what’s left of it, would likely decide to eradicate Islam and all Muslims and not stop until such a goal was accomplished.
Iranians know this. They talk a good game and play footsie behind the scenes (along with stirring up as much trouble as they possibly can to further their agenda), but to push the nuclear button outside of the Middle East is a whole different level of suicide. Even pushing the button in the ME would be a risk that they may or may not be prepared to take, but it looks like we’ll find out sooner or later at this rate.
If it worked the way you think WW II would have been over a good 6 months before it was. Also Japan would have never start a war as many of their best military minds knew that they couldn’t win we it started. Seems to me they had plenty of people that were willing to die, if they hadn’t we wouldn’t have lost so many boys taking Islands. You do remember that less than 10% of Japanese soldiers surrended. Also it wouldn’t have taken two bombs to end it. You do know that Japan only surrended because of Hirohito and even then the surrender only happen because a handful of Japanese Officers stop a coup and the arrest of the Hirohito?
It’s regularly demonstrated that individual Muslims have no problem with killing themselves; why are you so certain this would never apply on a national scale?
” So what do you think cause the recorded and document occurrences of EMP during nuclear testing? “
They tested hundreds and hundreds of nuclear weapons in Nevada, only a hundred miles from me. No one here noticed...
To be sure hussein gave them permission and wrote them a check for the fuel.
Or they are making an actual EMP run. I guess we will find out in due time.
After a successfull EMP attack it won’t matter at all what the kenyan intends. Washington and the military and FEMA will be just as impotent as the rest of us and will be wholly engaged in trying to find food in the ensuing famine.
Of what use to anyone is "martial law" after a successful EMP?
I am quite aware of how WW2 went.
Times have changed and the Persians are quite aware of what Thermonuclear weapons are capable of.
Nothing has to work the way “I think”. Nobody can tell what will happen if the balloon goes up, but most people with any but of intelligence understands that mankind is quite capable of rendering this planet lifeless. Believe it or not, even the Mad Mullahs understand this.
The Japanese sure understand it now, don’t they?
Muslims aren’t the only ones with such suicidal tendencies, but they seem to be the majority at this point.
If we take an EMP from Iran, which will doom tens of millions of Americans to die from the disruption of our current way of life, do you in any way think that we won’t annihilate Iran, one way or another? If the Coward-in-Chief refused to do anything about it, I have no doubt our government would be put under immediate siege by civilians who WILL clean out D.C. and put in a government that WILL annihilate Iran and any of her allies.
Sure, it may be the beginning of the end of mankind, but what would you have us do, surrender and cower down as slaves? No thanks. This mindset is what keeps the sane nuclear powers in check.
As bad as Iran is, you don’t think Pakistan is as bad? And they are a nuclear power now. Saudi Arabia will likely become one as soon as Iran has nukes and don’t you think they’re as much as a threat as Iran?
What’s keeping NK from attempting to pop a nuke over us? They’re obviously as insane as the Persian leaders, correct?
Exactly! Only a delusional king narcissist who holds the reigns of whatever powers are left to him, would know.
Yes things go must go the way you ‘Think’ you have repeated shown anger, beligenance and contempt for any that don’t agree with you 100%.
You clearly have no idea what these people are capable of and do not understand that they are basical a culture of death.
