There is renewed alarm about the possibility of an EMP attack – electromagnetic pulse – on the United States because of Iran's work on a multi-stage Space Launch Vehicle, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
And experts forecast if such an attack were a success, it effectively could throw the U.S. back into an age of agriculture.
"Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can't support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity," said Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy. "And that is exactly what I believe the Iranians are working towards."
A recent launch of an SLV by Iran has sparked renewed concern of an attack that could send an electromagnetic pulse powerful enough to wipe out computer controls for systems on which society has come to rely, officials say.
As the G2 Bulletin reported last week, Ronald Burgess, director of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency, revealed that Iran successfully launched a multi-stage SLV, the Simorgh. The device ultimately could be equipped with a nuclear bomb, which the U.S. intelligence community assesses Iran is developing.

@917am
i was thinking the same thing. doesnt seem that bad...
The Obama adminstration will be in denial of this possibility too.
this article is blatant fear mongering.
Not at all, 10:57. It's Iran's (and NKorea's) best shot.. it doesn't require accuracy at all. All they have to do is get a nuke into the general vicinity and air-burst a few miles overhead.
That's why it's such a threat, and that's why they are trying to do it. It will fry everything electronic, including the power grid.
And those of us who live out in the country, where you can grow food will be overrun by refugees from the cities.
And-- judging by how they currently act there, it will get ugly here.
You've been warned.
But, of course people like you, 10:57 will have Obama to save you, won't you?
Ha, get your tinfoil hat, nutcases! They'll go nicely with the generator that's been gathering dust in your garage since Y2K.
