Iran endorses nuclear EMP attack on United States
Believe them when someone tells you they want to kill you.

Suspected for years of plotting to dismantle the U.S. electric grid, American officials have confirmed that Iranian military brass have endorsed a nuclear electromagnetic pulse explosion that would attack the country's power system.
American defense experts made the discovery while translating a secret Iranian military handbook, raising new concerns about Tehran's recent nuclear talks with the administration.
The issue of a nuclear EMP attack was raised in the final hours of this week's elections in Israel when U.S. authority Peter Vincent Pry penned a column for Arutz Sheva warning of Iran's threat to free nations.
"Iranian military documents describe such a scenario — including a recently translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack against the United States," he wrote.
A knowledgable source said that the textbook discusses an EMP attack on America in 20 different places.
Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks, who is leading an effort to protect the U.S. electric grid from an EMP attack, has recently made similar claims based on the document translated by military authorities.
Once sneered at by critics, recent moves by Iran and North Korea have given credibility to the potential EMP threat from an atmospheric nuclear explosion over the U.S.
Pry has suggested ways for Iran to deliver a nuclear attack: by ship launched off the East Coast, a missile or via satellite.
Either way the result could be destruction of all or part of the U.S. electric grid, robbing the public of power, computers, water and communications for potentially a year.
Frank Gaffney, founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, said the threat to the grid can also come from solar activity.
He has been pushing Washington and state governments to take the relatively inexpensive move to protect the electric grid, though his concern is from a nuclear attack by Iran or North Korea.
"It is increasingly frightening," he said. "We have to get started on this."
He noted that Iran's top military leader recently announced that he was ready for war with the U.S.
"We are ready for the decisive battle against the U.S. and the Zionist regime," Iranian Armed Forces Chief of Staff General Hassan Firouzabadi told Iran's Fars News Agency in 2014.
Below is from Pry's column that discusses an Iran EMP attack:
Iran armed with nuclear missiles poses an unprecedented threat to global civilization.
One nuclear warhead detonated at high-altitude over the United States would blackout the national electric grid and other life sustaining critical infrastructures for months or years by means of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). A nationwide blackout lasting one year, according to the Congressional EMP Commission, could cause chaos and starvation that leaves 90 percent of Americans dead.
Iranian military documents describe such a scenario--including a recently translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack against the United States.
Thus, Iran with a small number of nuclear missiles can by EMP attack threaten the existence of modernity and be the death knell for Western principles of international law, humanism and freedom. For the first time in history, a failed state like Iran could destroy the most successful societies on Earth and convert an evolving benign world order into world chaos.
The Lawless Won endorses the plan too.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I do not think those subs can fix what the muzz EMP bursts did.
Iranians do not seem to care if their country goes back to the stone age as long as ours gets there first.
Do muzzie immigrants/visitors undergo background checks?
Yes, because Obama told the world he would NEVER use nuclear weapons. It will be up to the silent service to care of business on their own and without obama’s approval.
The subs can’t do anything except lay waste to the perps.
Only thing the subs are good for is take the damn country out now before they get a chance to do anything. Why would anyone care?

“EMP would cause the grid to go down.
The Grid will not come back up for days.
someone will stand trial for treason”.
In the worst case, no one will be alive to perform a trial. As others have mentioned-—read One Second After…scary book.
Most Iranians would ever noticed the difference.
“He has been pushing Washington and state governments to take the relatively inexpensive move to protect the electric grid ...”
Hardening parts of the distribution system and having spare parts on-hand would cost only a few billion. It would be the best money the federal govt ever spent.
Now that the GOP has both houses... /sarc
Seeing this from Georgetown Guyana in person during those headlines timeframe really puts that in perspective. Banana republics are like ranches in cowboy and Indian days....
“golf course opration will likely be disrupted.”
So he can play for free?
He always plays for free!
And if you have an extra box of Kleenex you want to use.
