Delivery shouldn’t be a problem if they can mount it on a scud. Drive within a couple hundred miles of Israel and a scud will reach. Or a truck bomb, or even some camels. They’ll find a way if they’re able. Best to rely on God’s protection of Israel for this one
And Iran is the number one supplier of lethal attack drones to its number one Kremlin friend. The neo-soviets are using them non-stop against Ukrainian civil infrastructure.
They form a great unified team against Israel and America.
China will join them soon. What a team...
No. The "Sole EMP Over The Midwest" is ridiculously overrated as to efficacy.
The other laughable aspect of this agitprop Company nonsense is the mere idea that a Chinese sub would launch a single EMP just casually as the pretext for a larger attack.
No, what will happen is a massive 'fire-everything' PLA smoker, mostly to the west coast and Hawaii and all of our Pacific exposures, with a couple adventerous global pathway shots, while the 3 Chinese subs in the Atlantic pop-a-shot at NYC and DC/Pentangle.
In all likelihood the CCP will then attempt to sue for peace, while the US simply turns Beijing/Shanghai/Qingdao and most unfortunately HK, into radioactive glass.
What is the realistic threat of EMP from one bomb one missile from a rogue nation? Can one bomb the size Iran could launch, exploded over the CONUC somehow, really wreak nationwide damage ? Or is that a myth?
CONUS
Found this.

High-altitude nuclear detonations and electromagnetic bombs can generate EMP that
has the potential to damage or destroy electronic devices over widespread areas.
Electric power systems would also be at risk from surges produced by such weapons.
However, the EMP from a kiloton-range surface nuclear explosion would not be
expected to produce serious damage outside the radius of severe destruction from
blast.
A 1.4 Megaton bomb launched about 250 miles above Kansas would destroy most of
the electronics that were not protected in the entire Continental United States. During
the brief return to atmospheric testing in 1962, a 1.4 megaton nuclear weapon was
detonated over Johnston Island at an altitude of about 250 miles. The effects of EMP
were observed in Hawaii, 800 miles east of the detonation. Streetlights and fuses failed
on Oahu and telephone service was disrupted on the Island of Kauai.
The “Iran will have a bomb in XX days” is a canard that gets repeated every couple of years. I call BS.
