Defense: Tehran's navy deploys ships to the Atlantic capable of launching long-range missiles. This is not a joke. This is a dress rehearsal for the day an EMP attack ends our way of life.
'Is it possible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?" Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asked at "The World Without Zionism" Tehran conference in 2005. "But you had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and surely can be achieved." He added that Iran had a "war preparation plan" for, as he put it, "the destruction of Anglo-Saxon civilization."
Electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, is not a subject familiar to most Americans. But it's quite familiar to the Iranian military.
It's been practicing for the day when an Iranian missile tipped with a nuclear warhead lifts off from a vessel parked in international waters off our shores, the warhead detonating high above the American heartland, sending electromagnetic waves rippling across the American landscape, frying every electronic circuit within range.
In a July 18 statement, Rear Adm. Habibollah Sayyari said the Iranian navy plans on deploying warships in the Atlantic Ocean as part of a program to ply international waters.
Two days later, another Iranian rear admiral, Seyed Mahmoud Mousavi, revealed for the first time that his navy has equipped a number of its logistic vessels and units with long-range missiles.

The irani ambassador is talking through his hat. The Irani navy is too weak to take on even one US taskforce forget about the other 12.
There should be a law passed that no “news” or “editorial” article, whether legit or not, can be printed and distributed without the name(s) of the author(s). This article smells of hype and half-facts. =.=
“One nightmare scenario posed,” according to Peter Vincent Pry, an expert on EMP who sits on a congressional panel looking into the threat of such a weapon, “was a ship-launched EMP attack against the U.S. by Iran, as this would eliminate the need for Iran to develop an ICBM to deliver a nuclear warhead against the U.S. and could be executed clandestinely, taking the U.S. by surprise.”
And seal the fate of any number of countries we deem necessary at that time.

An EMP would put most of us back in the middle ages until we could get generators from china, and enough wire to rebuild our infrastructure. I really would not care what happened to people on the other side of the world. It would not do a damn thing to get my heat on in January.

I’ve read that an EMP attack on the US would result in millions upon millions of deaths.If you don’t think that the people responsible would need to be destroyed,well you’re entitled to your opinion.
No, I think you may have missed my point.
I would assume there would be a global holocaust after such an attack. It’s just that when I am hunting squirrels for meat in my suburban area, I won’t get a lot of satisfaction knowing the folks that did this are dead. I mean I would like to know they paid an ultimate price, but I would still be hungry.
Iran is not Arab
I guess that Islamic world is a better term.
