It actually won’t happen. Most of the countries that have nukes don’t have any serious launch vehicles. 50km is actually pretty far up in the air, and is actually outside of the realm for Iran.

Part of the military’s job is to take EVERYTHING seriously. They’ve got plans on how to invade every state in the union in case another civil war starts there.

It is silly. It is not a threat. People have been banging this gong since the 80s and it hasn’t happened yet. It’s global warming.

“50km is actually pretty far up in the air, and is actually outside of the realm for Iran.”

They have existing launch vehicles that not only CAN but HAVE reached 50km and beyond. They have actually launched things into earth orbit.

Push back on this if you wish (you should), but use facts not BS.

Iran has the launch vehicle TODAY - they may or may not have a device (as far as we know they haven’t tested one yet) and they may or may not know how to make one small enough to mate with one of their launchers. The will to do it is the only thing that is required to create an EMP weapon/launcher. The rest is application of technical principles that are generally well understood, even by the Iranians.
