iranian escalation
Simulated video of attack against Israel and America on Iranian T.V.
http://www.timesofisrael.com/iranian...g-of-tel-aviv/
Iranian ships headed toward the coast of America.

I Wonder if the ship's have the ability to launch an EMP attack if they get close enough?

Wonder what the cruising range of their ships is.
Sure would be a shame if their tanker had problems.
Of course, if they ran into such troubles near the US, I imagine the USCG would render assistance.

A nuke launched into the atmosphere over America to create am EMP blast would do more damage in the long run than one hitting a single US city.

Absolutely true.
And if they launch it from an isolated ship, they would not need an ICBM, and we might not even know who did it.

Exactly, because they can't hit us from Iran doesn't mean that a ship sitting in international waters off our coast couldn't launch something a couple hundred miles into our atmosphere. Even if we knew exactly when they launched would we be able to stop it? We may take out their ships but it would be to late for us and a complete victory for them.

I'm not 100% convinced they're actually sending the ships all the way.
Regarding the video, firstly, i'm impressed that their drone avoided our air defenses, second, i'm more impressed at the amount of missiles their drone carried :-) and third, with 170K missiles and rockets aimed at Israel (not only from Iran) at he moment, i have no doubt that IF there's an attack on Iran by anyone, Israel will have more than a few missiles land.
This "noise" is basically to appease the hardliners and show them that the leadership did not "give in" regarding the nuclear lie, sorry farce, i mean deal. ;-)

Is it to appease the hardliners, or is it the hard liners preparing their people for war?

Appease them and avoid internal conflict as well as keep the "Supreme Leader" (Ayatollah) "happy"; the hardliners are already ripe for war and the people's opinion doesn't really count there, when push comes to shove.

Iranian warships on US Border to send us a message...
I almost placed this in The Comedy Zone.... I peed my pants laughing when I first read this..... I'm actually in awe that they could navigate that distance!
Iranian Northern Naval Fleet Commander Admiral Afshin Rezayee Haddad said Iranian warships are headed toward U.S. maritime borders to send "a message."
The move "is part of a longstanding protest against U.S. vessels in the Persian Gulf."
According to RT.com, Iranian warships started their voyage toward the U.S. on February 8th. This will mark the first time warships from Iran have come close to U.S. maritime borders.
No word on the number of vessels deployed or the length of time they will spend by U.S. maritime borders once they arrive.
Iran first announced plans to send these ships in September 2011, when they accused the U.S. of "global arrogance" for keeping a naval presence near Iranian "sea borders."

I wonder if their ships have enough life boats for the entire crew.

Did they not send ships to Venezuela a few years back?

It doesn't matter, and they don't care. It would be a suicide mission. I'm sure we have subs trailing them and as they get closer would be dogged by some surface ships. We would destroy the ships shortly after launch but by then it woUld be too late.

Lurking silently beneath the waters is an American attack submarine. She's been shadowing the Iranian vessels since they steamed into the open sea.

The people are more secular than you would think, plus it is a very young population and more tech savvy. If you want to prepare the population for complete war then propaganda would be where you start, propaganda and dehumanizing the enemy. Think Hitler prior to WWII. Prepping the civilian battlespace.
