Rather unlikely. Ranting typical of Iranian and Russian proclamations of some “super tech”.

An EMP attack against an unhardened American civilian infrastructure is nothing to sniff at, however.

From what I’ve read, the fatwa against targeting a city with nukes as being “unIslamic” (I think it was Ayatollah Khomenei) is viewed as not applying to a nuke-generated EMP attack against the US.

Based on what the Iranian military has written, I suspect the capability of launching an EMP attack against the US is high on their priority list.

That’s nice, but your radar systems and SU-24 never knew about the F-22 Raptor right behind his ass requesting weapons hot, but never received permission from Obama’s rules of engagement. Just try it again under Trump and see how close your antiquated aircraft get anywhere near the CAG.

All this back and forth sabre rattling reminds me of a scene in Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator”, where Hynkel, Napoloni and Herring are watching the review of the Tomanian armed forces.

Napoloni, on seeing the Tomanian tank corps: Waita da minute. Where da propellers?

Hynkel: Propellers?

Napoloni: Sure, you never hearda aero-marine tanks that go under da water and fly uppa da stair

Herring: Oh, those are obsolete now. We’re concentrating on flying dreadnaughts.
