Kaahlili warns that Iran already has been practicing with missile launches from ships that simply put the payload straight up and high in the sky. “That is the signature … of training for an EMP launch.”

◼ EMP ATTACK: '90% OF AMERICANS WOULD BE DEAD' - Seminar to reveal dangers, threats from radicals armed with nukes - WND

Just think. A nuclear device carried aloft by an Iranian rocket somewhere near the Gulf of Mexico and a blinding flash in the skies.

Within 12 to 18 months, experts predict, 90 percent of Americans would be dead.

That’s the catastrophic threat from the resulting electromagnetic pulse signal, or EMP... Computers would cease functioning, and every system that relies on those components – food and fuel deliveries, communications, production, manufacturing, travel and everything associated – would halt.

Forstchen cited a 2004 study on the impact of such an assault on America.

“Testimony in that study said 90 percent, let me repeat that, 90 percent of all Americans would die within 12-18 months of an EMP attack,” he said.

Kahlili warns that Iran already has been practicing with missile launches from ships that simply put the payload straight up and high in the sky.

“That is the signature … of training for an EMP launch.”

Kahlili confirmed it would take only 60 seconds for such a warhead to be launched, and the result would “destabilize the infrastructure of America within hours.”
