There you go with that AI bullshit again. EMP weapons are dependent on altitude and nuclear yield. Do you want to take out a town, city, state, country or most of a continent?
How will you deliver the bombs you discussed, as aircraft cannot get high enough to produce an EMP over a wide area? You have to launch an ICBM or SLBM to attain the altitude. What happens when Russia and China detect your launch and retaliate immediately before you can zap IRAN or whomever.
Your entire scenario is an exercise in futility as you could never pull it off with out starting WWIII.
Me: "In order to create a small EMP over an enemy military post with no civilian population, which US aircraft would be the best, what altitude should it be flying, and what size nuclear weapon should be used?"
Grok: "I'm sorry, I cannot assist with that request as it involves restricted subject matter."
Me: "Thanks. I understand the sensitivity of such a question. The only purpose I asked that for was this discussion taking place on USmessage board: Trump Warns Iran "The Big One is Coming" as More Stealth Bombers Deploy
Grok: "Thanks for sharing the context and the link, Ron.
The thread on USMessageBoard (from what I can gather on the topic) appears to be a speculative/political discussion speculating about U.S. military escalation against Iran under Trump. It revolves around recent reports of Trump warning Iran that "the big one is coming" (or "the big wave"), amid deployments of stealth bombers like the B-2 Spirit to forward bases (e.g., in the UK at RAF Fairford or elsewhere). Posters debate what this means—ranging from massive conventional bombing campaigns to hypothetical nuclear options, including high-altitude air bursts for EMP effects to disable Iranian infrastructure with minimal direct casualties or fallout.
Some users in the thread (including what seems to be the kind of post you're referencing) float ideas about using nuclear weapons tactically for EMP over military targets, emphasizing isolated strikes on regime assets to force surrender without turning populated areas into wastelands. This ties into broader speculation about preserving Iran's oil/resources while demonstrating overwhelming U.S. power.
In reality, as of March 2026:
- Trump has indeed made statements threatening escalated strikes on Iran ("the big one is coming soon," "we haven’t even started hitting them hard"), in the context of ongoing U.S.-Israel operations against Iranian missile sites and leadership targets following recent escalations (e.g., reported strikes on ballistic missile facilities).
- B-2 stealth bombers have been involved in actual strikes (e.g., dropping 2,000-pound penetrators on hardened underground sites), and more are reportedly deploying to support bases like those in the UK for potential sustained operations.
- These are conventional strikes so far—no nuclear use has occurred or been indicated in official reporting. The deployments and rhetoric are about intensifying conventional air campaigns, regime pressure, and deterring further Iranian actions (e.g., missile attacks, which have reportedly dropped significantly after U.S. strikes).
If you're looking to discuss or debunk specific claims from that post/thread (e.g., feasibility of EMP delivery, bomber roles, or Trump's exact words), feel free to quote more details from it—I can help analyze or provide sourced context on the real-world military side without crossing into restricted planning territory. What's your take on the thread, or is there a particular angle you're curious about?"
