The book “One Second After”, described such a scenario.

Why do you think they are working so hard on missiles with way more range than they need to reach Israel?

Iran has test fired a sea-launched ballistic missile, according to classified U.S. intelligence reports, which could be used in a devastating stealth attack against the United States or Israel for which the United States has no known or planned defense.

When will Obama move to provide them the technology to wage such an attack sooner rather than later?

"It is increasingly frightening," he said. "We have to get started on this."

Can't, too busy with CLIMAT CHANGE and Al Gore.

He has been pushing Washington and state governments to take the relatively inexpensive move to protect the electric grid ...

It would be informative if the story had briefly mentioned what that action might be.

"Why do you think they are working so hard on missiles with way more range than they need to reach Israel?"

Indeed! From the article posted above,

"A knowledgable source said that the textbook discusses an EMP attack on America in 20 different places."

Iran could do it, too. See the links in comment #5 for more information on that.

Did the Iranians totally forget about our Ohio class subs?

***********
They have no threat value if Obama refuses to use them. I seriously doubt he would retaliate to any provocation, no matter how grave. I just don’t see that happening.

They’ve been launching missiles for years in the Caspian Sea from ships. They go up and detonate in the air. They claim it is a malfunction but I believe they will attempt to get a ship or two (armed with missiles) close to our shores and thus the EMP. If they can coordinate three ships (east, west and gulf coasts) they can do major damage!

Boomers only matter to people who care if they die before the Mahdi comes, that’s what makes the Iranians more dangerous than the Ruskies.

Funny how Obama demands background checks for citizens to buy guns, but no background checks for terrorist that want nukes.
