It's the same sort of fear that existed in the 1930s with the introduction of large bombers. The bomber would always get through, but it would not hit the target it was supposed to hit. It's the same thing with this fear. If Iran wants to destroy the U.S., not merely cripple it, it would need several hundred bombs and launchers. Meanwhile, Iran would be reduced to trinitite.

It needs 3 bombs and the ability to detonate them at the proper altitude and location.
“Meanwhile, Iran would be reduced to trinitite.”
Its an acceptable tradeoff for their leaders.

If Iran wants to destroy the U.S., not merely cripple it, it would need several hundred bombs and launchers. No, ONE EMP device would do it quite efficiently.
