We have satellites tracking EVERY missile launch in the world.
An Iranian nuke would not be large enough to cover the entire US. It would need to be bigger and higher for the cone to cover the continent.
Iran would cease to exist.
They are bad guys. But they are not stupid.

How about out for a month, 6 months, a year or forever?

"Citing figures from the Union of Concerned Scientists, the report" is anti-American brainwashing material from the left. I'm sorry that you all fell for that trash.
Look up the information on the Union of Concerned Scientists, and you'll see. Besides being animal worshiping, tree worshiping, homo weirdos, they push to exclusively shrink our U.S. defense, especially nuclear defense. They're not nearly all "scientists," either. And some of the Air Force schools are into witchcraft, too, so wise up.
Don't waste your time and money on hoaxes from the left. Put your resources into protecting our freedoms by giving the President a better House of Representatives next time. And support a strong U.S. defense. Maybe that includes having many academics at academies fired and replaced, too. Fight political correctness. Fight it until the left no longer has the will to fight.
EMPs will only come with a general nuclear exchange. If you're worried about that, build fallout shelters. Because the more you oppose a stronger national defense, the more likely the nuclear exchanges will come sooner and with us at a disadvantage.

” I believe EMP is a more credible threat than the nuclear exchange weve all feared since the 50s.”
An all out nuclear war would probably doom the planet to years long nuclear winter but any nation with an icbm and tactical nuke could destroy us or any other country with one or two EMPs. To me that makes Iran and N. Korea more dangerous than Russia or China.
To: hardspunned
An EMP attack would simply be the beginning of a nuclear exchange.
A solar EMP event concerns me the most.

Supposedly after an EMP hit us only 10% of the entire US population would survive one year later.

Maybe in some of the Democrat states, where a particular kind of work ethic is not as present.

I know people here want to talk about what tough guys and pioneer gals they are and can rough it the rest of their lives, but seriously???
First of all, you all would be WITHOUT Free Republic!!!
And that ain’t gonna be a 2-3 day outage (and some of you go insane over just THAT much), but probably forever.
For those in the South, NO AIR CONDITIONING.
And for me, a type 1 diabetic, no insulin.
I’ll die.
Modern life sucks, but it also keeps so many of us alive, happy and prosperous.

Maybe N Korea and Iran getting closer to having deliverable icbms and nukes is worrying them.

Solar flare EMP can take down some the power grid but a nuclear EMP will destroy not only that but most of all electronic devices. Can you imagine the suicide rate in the country once folks realize their smart phones are dead forever?

Then the leftists would have nothing to do.

SEXY! SEXY!
At this point it’s most important to counter their use against the military. Ships, planes and ground units.
EMP weapons can be non-nuclear.
But everyone is hot for nukes used on civilians.
(Maybe I should read this report and learn something about military concerns and measures to adapt...)

This comment is true. The country must be “reset” in order to save it.
