Iranian Nuclear Threat Targets U.S., Israel

"The Islamic republic has test-fired missiles capable of reaching Israel, southeastern Europe, and U.S. bases in the Mideast — and published reports say Iran is within a year of developing its own nuclear bomb.



Security experts warn that even one nuclear device in the hands of a rogue nation could be used against the United States in a devastating electromagnetic pulse attack, an intense burst of energy from an exploding nuclear warhead high above the Earth.



So why isn't the Obama administration doing more to prevent a nuclear nightmare?



"I get very, very nervous about it," Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., told Newsmax.TV's Kathleen Walter. "I think Iran will have a nuclear weapon. I think now it's only a question of when."



The United States is caught in the middle of a Mideast faceoff between one of its strongest allies, Israel, and Iran. Iran has threatened to wipe Israel off the map, and Israel refuses to rule out a preemptive strike against its adversary, while insisting that Iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons."
