U.S. military cyber forces launched a strike against Iranian military computer systems on Thursday as President Donald Trump backed away from plans for a more conventional military strike in response to Iran’s downing of a U.S. surveillance drone, U.S. officials said Saturday.
Two officials told The Associated Press that the strikes were conducted with approval from Trump. A third official confirmed the broad outlines of the strike. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the operation.
The cyberattacks — a contingency plan developed over weeks amid escalating tensions — disabled Iranian computer systems that controlled its rocket and missile launchers, the officials said. Two of the officials said the attacks, which specifically targeted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps computer system, were provided as options after Iranian forces blew up two oil tankers earlier this month.
The IRGC, which was designated a foreign terrorist group by the Trump administration earlier this year, is a branch of the Iranian military.
There was no immediate reaction Sunday morning in Iran to the U.S. claims. Iran has hardened and disconnected much of its infrastructure from the internet after the Stuxnet computer virus, a joint US-Israeli creation, disrupted thousands of Iranian centrifuges in the late 2000s.

Just another day in psyops paradise. it just doesn't work as well when the audience isn't spoiled Christians who believe jews can do no wrong.

Why would they do this *before* launching an assault, it makes absolutely no sense. It would just give Iran an opportunity to prepare for such attacks better and harden their infrastructure knowing it's vulnerable.

The more people you not execute a certain code the more likely they are part of your group.

If is x is to a lart part of y, and then is y is part of z. But not x= y.
I always wonder why these people are that retarded but i assume that they are made retarded.
Isaiah Hernandez
So if c has no part of x then you have failure.

>is x is lart part of y >is y is part of z >x != y >So if c has no part of x then you have failure.
