The United States carried out a cyber attack as a retaliation for attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and the destruction of an American drone, writes the New York Times.

Independent evidence of damage to the Iranian systems has not yet been reported.

What is the result of American cyber attacks?

According to US sources, these cyber attacks were planned for several weeks.

They targeted rocket batteries that are used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It is believed that it was their fire that shot down the US intelligence drone last Thursday.

On Saturday, the US Department of Homeland Security warned that Iran is activating its own cyber attacks against America.

The director of the US cyber security agency, Christopher Krebs, stated that Iran’s threat to US government agencies and businesses has been fixed.

According to him, Iranian intelligence services use various methods of cyberwar, trying to take control of computer networks in the United States.

New sanctions

The United States is preparing to introduce serious additional sanctions against Iran to prevent the development of its nuclear program, President Donald Trump said on Friday.

“We are introducing additional sanctions. In some cases we act quickly,” he said. Trump did not say what the new sanctions were.

“If Iran wants to be a rich country, [...] then I’m not against it. But this will not happen if they continue to try to get nuclear weapons in five or six years,” the American president added.

“Let's make Iran great again,” Trump concluded.

The President linked the new sanctions with the decisions of the Iranian leaders regarding the country's nuclear program. June 17 Tehran announced that it will exceed the limit on the amount of enriched uranium, which it is allowed to store under the international agreement 2015 of the year.

This happened amid growing tensions between countries. Four days before this statement, the US accused Iran of attacking two tankers in the Gulf of Oman. Tehran denies the charges.

  • The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), which is the military branch of Iran’s executive branch, reported that shot down by an American reconnaissance droneallegedly in the airspace of Iran.
  • Dron was shot down over the southern province of Hormozgan. This area is located near the Strait of Hormuz, which is actively used to transport oil.
  • The US military first refuted Iran’s statement. Central Command spokesman Bill Urban said that there were no American UAVs over Iranian territory.
  • But then AP and Reuters, citing sources at the Pentagon, reported that the American drone was indeed shot down by the Iranians, but stressed that it was in international airspace.
  • The New York Times newspaper, citing sources at the White House, wrote that Trump, after losing the drone, gave the military order to start preparation for rocket and air strikes on Iranian goals, but at the last moment changed his mind.
  • On Sunday, Trump reported that he was misunderstood. “I did not cancel the strike on Iran, but only postponed it,” the US president wrote in his Twitter account.
