Some posters have pointed out that the US is trying to establish a stronghold on Iran, so it can build up sufficient infrastructure in order to access the resources of central Asia.
I'm sure other countries have the same interest, but the US has the military capability to actually pull this off, by overthrowing the government in Iran.
Russia has already threatened the US by saying Iran is too close to its territory.
So what will they do?
I think they will use the same technology that allows for intergalatic space travel, to cause an eruption on the sun, which will cause an X class solar flare, that will decimate the US by destroying its power grid and putting us in a state of chaos.
To the rest of the world, which will be unaffected, it will look like a natural event occured, and while they (including Russia) may do everything they can to support the US through airlifts and rebuilding infrastructure the damage will be done, and the economy will be devestated.
I seriously have doubts about the source that confesses the applications of this unknown technology, but if it does exist, how will the US safeguard itself?
... I think that what your friend was referring to was actually just an EMP generated by a nuclear blast in the upper atmosphere. A careful execution would be far more likely than some Star Trek-style technology causing a perfectly accurate solar flare.
Wouldn't it make more sense to use currently available technology and mask it as a terrorist attack?

I guess we will build a Death Star and end up searching for their base on the ice planet Hoth and chase them around the solar system and along the way maybe form some new NATO allies with some Ewoks.
I mean if we get the Wookies to side with us then we are on a Roll esp if Chewbacca is fighting on our side chewy kicks butt and he is welcome to join us anytime.
to be honest if Russia had the technolgy my guess is we would know about it and possibly share it and work together on something that would take more energy than we can imagine to power even 99.999% the speed of light travel and we have yet to even have use Fusion power wrre we can keep a susutained rection going that makes more power than we have to in but ITER is under construction and who knows actually works in 2020 or later

Nobody with the tech to build and launch such an EMP attack is stupid enough to risk the consequences of reprisal. Basically you are talking nuke war.
No terrorist group has the capability of building such a device and of course successfully launching an ICBM to deliver it.
While an EMP would be reality, masking it is not.
I reiterate that it appears the OP's friend or whatever likely got really really stoned, watched the new Justice League: Doom movie and mistook it for some sort of documentary.
