There have been rumblings that someone (Israel/US) have developed an EMP type device that would knock out communications and non-hardened electronics, which would give someone a distinct advantage in those scenarios, but hardening against an EMP is something that modern military forces understand. If Iran’s working on a nuclear program, they’re also likely working on the effects of an EMP - both as an offensive and as defensive countermeasures.
Still, the logistics of a ground type attack pushes this kind of discussion into the realm of movie fantasy.
/of course, that we’re saying this gives cover to when they actually pull it off - layers inside layers… /
