A single high-altiltude electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear detonation could do a lot of damage to the US. Launching it off the deck of an oil freighter along one of our coasts would make it hard to intercept and difficult to tell where it came from. The Iranians are just crazy enough to try a stunt like this knowing full well that MAD applies.
We have a missile defense network that would make that approach difficult.
More likely, and proven to already be a M.O., they would build the EMP here in the States from scratch. The delivery system? Well, that needs to be no more complex than a weather balloon....
They don't need to go that large scale though.
Bomb a subway. Bomb a school, a park, anything. Poison a small town water supply...
Somehow the RP guys think that just because nobody is going to take us over, they are no threat.
9/11 was not an attempt to take us out, but it was a coordinated attack nonetheless and American's died as a result. This is somehow acceptable to RP'er's when compared to the military-industrial complex...
