In part III of our Middle East cyberwarfare mini-series, Hugo Tarrida and John Salomon talk about probably the most complex topic yet – Iran.
Following our analysis of the broader Middle East region, and of Israeli capabilities and activities, today’s episode is an overview of Iran – the history of its online conflict capabilities, the history behind the establishment of these, and some major cyberattacks and influence campaigns attributed to the country and its various agencies and stakeholders.

We have our own views and opinions of current events. This discussion is not intended to endorse or condemn any particular viewpoint.
