While I am sure cyberwarfare has been conducted by the US and is ongoing in the WOT, I suspect Iran han enough network that can be exploited by DOD hackers.
Imagine DOD hackers turning off Syrian and Iranian air defense networks just prior to a strike, or turning off all of their electrical plants.

Apparently, during the recent IAF incursion into Syria,
Syrian air defense was neutralized (Debka says by jamming).
Whatever the means, the Iranians have the same stuff,
and presumably the DOD has the info, not that it’s all
that important when your planes are effectively
invisible to radar in the first place.
The Iranian nuke program can be stopped dead with
inert PGMs and little or no collateral damage.
The Iranian military, of as much of it as actually
functions, will require live ordnance.
Of course, there is that “new” Iranian fighter jet,
the QF-5i :-)
