U.S. Intel: Iran Plans Nuclear Strike on U.S.

Iran has carried out missile tests for what could be a plan for a nuclear strike on the United States, the head of a national security panel has warned.

In testimony before the House Armed Services Committee and in remarks to a private conference on missile defense over the weekend hosted by the Claremont Institute, Dr. William Graham warned that the U.S. intelligence community “doesn’t have a story” to explain the recent Iranian tests.

One group of tests that troubled Graham, the former White House science adviser under President Ronald Reagan, were successful efforts to launch a Scud missile from a platform in the Caspian Sea.

“They’ve got [test] ranges in Iran which are more than long enough to handle Scud launches and even Shahab-3 launches,” Dr. Graham said. “Why would they be launching from the surface of the Caspian Sea? They obviously have not explained that to us.”

Another troubling group of tests involved Shahab-3 launches where the Iranians "detonated the warhead near apogee, not over the target area where the thing would eventually land, but at altitude,” Graham said. “Why would they do that?”

Graham chairs the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack, a blue-ribbon panel established by Congress in 2001.

The commission examined the Iranian tests “and without too much effort connected the dots,” even though the U.S. intelligence community previously had failed to do so, Graham said.

“The only plausible explanation we can find is that the Iranians are figuring out how to launch a missile from a ship and get it up to altitude and then detonate it,” he said. “And that’s exactly what you would do if you had a nuclear weapon on a Scud or a Shahab-3 or other missile, and you wanted to explode it over the United States.”

The commission warned in a report issued in April that the United States was at risk of a sneak nuclear attack by a rogue nation or a terrorist group designed to take out our nation’s critical infrastructure.

"If even a crude nuclear weapon were detonated anywhere between 40 kilometers to 400 kilometers above the earth, in a split-second it would generate an electro-magnetic pulse [EMP] that would cripple military and civilian communications, power, transportation, water, food, and other infrastructure," the report warned.

While not causing immediate civilian casualties, the near-term impact on U.S. society would dwarf the damage of a direct nuclear strike on a U.S. city.

“The first indication [of such an attack] would be that the power would go out, and some, but not all, the telecommunications would go out. We would not physically feel anything in our bodies,” Graham said.

As electric power, water and gas delivery systems failed, there would be “truly massive traffic jams,” Graham added, since modern automobiles and signaling systems all depend on sophisticated electronics that would be disabled by the EMP wave.

“So you would be walking. You wouldn’t be driving at that point,” Graham said. “And it wouldn’t do any good to call the maintenance or repair people because they wouldn’t be able to get there, even if you could get through to them.” for morecopy and paste.........http://www.newsmax.com/timmerman/iran_nuclear_plan/2008/07/29/117217.html

Sounds more like HAARP than nuclear

what's your source for the article? Where's the nuclear fall out? Sounds more like HAARP than anything else, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnRPZOUVhJ4

Ron Paul or no one at all!

Wag the Dog

This is from the same media sales group that brought us previous bogus wars. I'm sure the Faux News junkies will lap this up...
Of course we still haven't heard on MSM about Israel's war games that provoked Iran's missile tests. And besides, if the US thought another country was gearing up to invade us, we'd be posturing...My hat's off to Amedienejad (sp.) for having the balls to give the US the finger of defiance.
I wonder when we're going to invade Venezuela?

But come on people!

If americans still believe this BS

they deserve to get nuked

Ouch.

Man.. Like ouch. Sad thing is it seems that much of the evangelical vote seems to want an Armageddon.

See why exposing the truth that 9/11 was an inside job is so important.

If you let Bush and Cheney get away with that then their is no stopping them from doing what they damn well please. Oh wait they already have.

Find out if you have a local militia - http://www.uaff.us/

yes sure everyone can

yes sure everyone can believe a country with no abomb..somehow get one anyway and then...commit suicide by using it on a country that has 10´s of thousands of them to use in retaliation... sure very believable,, lol

Thank you for posting. I know some below are giving you a hard time, but we have to know what other people are hearing and seeing on tv in order to speak intelligently to them. We, many of us, don't watch tv any more and didn't have a clue that this was being said. Then also, there is the strong possibility that, even though the info is most likely totally bogus, our government will take action on it or that our government will actually perform it and say Iran did it. So we need to know what is being reported. Thanks.

well thanks for your support

We cant defend aginst ,or learn about ,or teach if we dont know!

They fooled us once with

They fooled us once with Iraq, they're not going to fool me or my dad with Iran! My dad's known for being a maverick. After we believed W and his load of shit just to invade Iraq for oil profits, we've been very sceptical about it. I'm in this game, I'm not getting out! We need to be, in a good way, a virus that will spread and infect the system and un brain wash the American people.

Oh, what was the last count on global military bases?? 800 bases in 130 countries with some 6000 here in the states.... Yeah, bridges are falling but I think the Miltary took good care of it's own infrastructure.

Don't think for a moment this has ANYTHING to do with Iran!

double post

Does anyone remember the way they shot that sattelite out of

space on the first try ? I doubt that this could be concidered a threat but most people will believe that it is .

Stop the NWO....It's just illumi..Naughty !

I think the U.S. may have

I think the U.S. may have shot our satellite out of the sky in response to China shooting one of their own out of the sky. We had to show them that we could do it too and do it even better than them.

"Could" is the key word here. They don't really know, because it "could" have been for any purpose.

---end quote---

Um... in the first week of June Israel conducted a huge military exercise which was reported to be in preparation for an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran's missile tests were approximately 1 month later. Yeah, I bet they have absolutely no idea why Iran tested those missiles. It was a clear message as to what Israel would be dodging if they decide to attack Iran.

---quote---
Another troubling group of tests involved Shahab-3 launches where the Iranians "detonated the warhead near apogee, not over the target area where the thing would eventually land, but at altitude,” Graham said. “Why would they do that?”
---end quote---

Probably because they know we (including Israel) have the technology to shoot their missiles out of the sky. They would need something that would cause damage even if destroyed before hitting the ground.

---quote---
The United States “needs a missile defense that is so strong, in all the different phases we need to defend against . . . that countries will decide it’s not worth coming up against us,” Kyl said.

“That’s one of the things that defeated the Soviet Union. That’s one of the ways we can deal with these rogue states . . . and also the way that we can keep countries that are not enemies today, but are potential enemies, from developing capabilities to challenge us. “
---end quote---

Despite what they say, we did not defeat the Soviet Union. We have simply outlasted them financially. The Soviet Union collapsed due to their own financial irresponsibility. They ran out of money and could not longer borrow it.

Gee, you don't think...

...that the 'accidental' arming of a bomber with nukes that might have gone 'missing' had some patriots in the military not blown the whistle would have been a factor, do you?

So, you think the missile they haven't invented

Yet will slip by the 23,000 nuclear warheads we've got?

You trying to tell me the sixth fleet is going to let that one just go right on by?

If you put cream in your coffee in Iran our intel knows it. Do you have any idea the firepower that two aircraft carrier battle groups have? Like the ones that are parked on Iran's door step?

Iran has 35 foot patrol boats and they don't have an army. They have a militia.

Please stop echoing the fox news propaganda on this website. I already "got under my desk" in nuke drills in the early 60's.

Turn off the media.

It is all designed to make you
scared
angry
and hopeless.

We do hope here....Jeff Rense will kill ya 45 ways to Sunday...why not post over there?

Unify

lol our stupid intel

lol our stupid intel couldn't find 19 saudi arabians at flight schools who didn't want to land a jumbo jet just fly them! and your saying our intel is that good! wake up tstorey!

as for me and my home, we shall worship the LORD

“A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.” (Prov. 22:3; 27:12 KJV)

Hey McCain-----┌П┐(◣_◢)┌П┐

our intel is so stupid...

they haven't been able to find a 6ft5 Osama bin Laden living in caves with kidney failure in over half a decade in a country the size of Texas.

btw, he's probably dead by now, but don't tell them that!

see David Frost interview of Benazir Bhutto before her assassination. He didn't even blink when she talks about Osama being dead!
