“Was it the USA?”

Not likely considering O’Bidens love for everything iranian.

Musk????

[BigEdLB]

Had to be Israel. Our feds are wusses

[BigEdLB]

Musk. Possibly, if it wasn’t Israel. Payback.

China hacks Russia, so did they also decide to hack IRAN?

“Massive cyberattack rocks Central Bank of Iran, computer system paralyzed - report”

probably just a warning shot ... you know, a foretaste of worser things to come IF ...

Let's not forget the Saudis. They must be nervous that Iran is funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, expanding their power all around SA, and will soon have nuclear capability.

Both countries are Muslim but of different sects that don't like each other very much.

Yeah, it was likely Mossad, but if it wasn't, I would guess SA before USA.

It is amusing you think Biden had anything to do with this.

Now, Obama and ValJar are another thing altogether.

[VanShuyten]

It’s the Central Bank of Iran. I bet there are billions of dollars in their accounts (Thanks to Obama and Biden). A good target for any cyber criminals.

[ryderann]

Musk...yes! Perhaps as a warning to the EU bureaucrats. “Do you REALLY want to take my rights from me?”

[bleach]

Payback for hacking the Trump campaign.
