Report: Iran Military Endorses EMP Attack On U.S. That Would Leave ‘90 Percent Of Americans Dead’
Iranian military officials have endorsed an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the United States, a newly translated Iranian military textbook shows.
Such an attack could knock out the electrical grid and create a nationwide blackout, perhaps for months or even up to a year.
“Iranian military documents describe such a scenario — including a recently translated Iranian military textbook that endorses nuclear EMP attack against the United States,” Peter Vincent Pry wrote in a new op-ed for Israel National News.
The fear is that Iran will deploy a nuclear missile high in the atmosphere above the U.S., creating an explosion known as an electromagnetic pulse. Such an attack could take down the grid and also destroy computers and other electronic devices.
“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),” Pry wrote. “A nationwide blackout lasting one year, according to the Congressional EMP Commission, could cause chaos and starvation that leaves 90 percent of Americans dead.”

The grid could be down for such a lengthy time because it contains custom-made parts that have no ready replacements.
