« Iran May Strike Israel | Main | The Deal of the Century » US Hits Iran - a Cyber Strike
By Micah Halpern
Sunday June 23, 2019 I've Been Thinking: USCC is the United States Cyber Command. The USCC launched a retaliatory strike against Iran this weekend. In addition to the United States, Iranians attacked Saudi, Bahraini, UAE and other US computer systems. In response to the tanker attacks, probably exacerbated by tensions resulting from the computer systems attacks -- or maybe the opposite -- The USCC launched a barrage of attacks against the Iranians. Many questions have been left unanswered. It is not clear if this USCC cyber response is the response President Trump was referring to when he referred to striking Iran or if there is more of a response to come. It is also not clear who was hit by the US and how large the attack was. And we do not know if the US hit the Guard's naval force, the military body that has been wreaking havoc in the region. What is clear is that a cyber attack can be far more destructive than any missile strike. We learned that lesson from the Stuxnet cyber virus attack against Iran. Stuxnet and follow-up cyber strikes were enormously effective. Effective cyber attacks can set Iran back by months, even years. Read my latest book THUGS. It's easy. Just click.
