Iran was struck by severe cyberattacks targeting its nuclear facilities and various sectors, including fuel distribution, transportation, and municipal networks. Nearly all branches of Iran’s government—judiciary, legislature, and executive—were impacted, according to the ex-secretary of Iran’s Supreme Council of Cyberspace. The attacks come amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with Israel preparing a strong response following a 200-missile barrage from Iran. Iran remains on high alert, vowing to defend its sovereignty. The United States also expanded sanctions against Iran’s petroleum sector due to recent missile strikes.
