The US carried out a cyber attack on Thursday night, just after Iran downed an American surveillance drone, The Washington Post reported.
According to the Post, the targets were computers and systems responsible for missile attacks. The attacks were planned for weeks, if not months, but proposed only after the attack on two oil tankers earlier this month.

I can believe it.
This was a warning to Iran. I hope they get it.

As fabricated BS, it’s sticking their finger into a sensitive and problematic enough situation as is. If true, it’s even moreso. What a bunch of a@@holes.
On the other hand, it might have been deliberately leaked by the administration as a psy op, whether true or not.
I understand that that is a possibility but given Trump's disdain for the press, especially the NYTimes and WaPo, I feel like the odds go way down that he would use them for that.
