US Hits Iran with Cyberattack to Disrupt Oil Tanker Attacks
Return To ArticleThe US launched a cyberattack against Iran in late June that successfully disrupted the ability of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to attack oil tankers, according to a New York Times report based on discussions with senior American officials.
The cyberstrike reportedly came the same day President Donald Trump called off military strikes last minute in retaliation for Iran’s downing of a US drone. Trump said the strikes would not have been proportionate to the downing of an unmanned aircraft.
