Whats the danger?
Iran has successfully tested the high-altitude burst of ballistic missiles. There is the obvious and unthinkable damage, radiation, and loss of life that can result from an explosion of a nuclear warhead attached to a far- reaching ballistic missile. A nuclear attack can be delivered via ground or sea transportation as well. There is also the possible danger of an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse), known as an e-bomb, which can instantly render electronic devices within a large radius totally out of commission, wreaking havoc on society and infrastructure. In addition, a nuclear-armed Iran has intimidation powers and dangerously unsettles a volatile region predisposed to conflict. It has set off a nuclear arms race as other Middle Eastern countries have already begun acquiring their own nuclear weapons.
