There’s a couple classes of EMP - HEMP and SREMP.

HEMP is the classic high altitude EMP - the one that excites the ions/gamma rays in the miles-high atmosphere and really cooks things off over a wide line-of-sight area.

SREMP is Source Regional EMP which an area -effects EMP; from a few city block to a ‘metro’ area. SREMPS are direct effect, meaning the EMF they produce does the damage.

Won’t get into E1, E2 and E3, but only HEMP has all three. SREMP only two.

Both are bad news for those affected.

EMP’s aren’t being taken seriously by our government

If the Iranians popped an EMP on us, can they count on absolutely zero U.S. response against Persian cities or territory? Is our defensive stance that demoralized and/or compromised under this administration?

Real question.
