Gee whiz, do you suppose that the Iranians might run and sue somebody over this?

Or maybe file a complaint with the UN?

(You’ll have to excuse me while I ROFLMAO. You have very obviously never heard of the fine old Navy tradition of Dirty Tricks Departments.....our groups’ motto was “We win, You lose, Tough Sh** Charley”.)

What?

You think we are living in some sort of impregnable Truman Show dome?

You think that the Iranians are primitive idiots, incapable of cyber-warfare?

The more technological the society, the more subject it is to this sort of attack, and the more open your society, the more open you are to this sort of attack.

This was an *invitation* to asymmetric electronic warfare, and considering the cost we are already incurring from the "conventional" sort in places like Afghanistan, you would have though we would have given a bit more thought (assuming this was our creation) to the potential blowback, especially considering at all this did was buy a bit of time without fundamentally improving the situation.
