"Across every domain, land, air, sea, cyber, the U.S. Joint Force delivered synchronized and layered effects designed to disrupt, degrade, deny and destroy Iran's ability to conduct and sustain combat operations."
"Operators with US Cyber Command and Space Command were first movers in the invasion of Iran, layering non-kinetic effects, disrupting and degrading and blinding Iran. Coordinated space and cyber operations effectively disrupted communications and sensor networks across the area of responsibility, leaving the adversary without the ability to see, coordinate, or respond effectively."
The Pentagon has made a significant public acknowledgment of its cyber operations capabilities during strikes on Iran. General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, discussed cyber operations alongside traditional military domains during a press conference about Operation Epic Fury. He stated that US Cyber Command and Space Command were first movers in the operation, conducting non-kinetic effects that disrupted and degraded Iran's communications and sensor networks, effectively blinding the adversary's ability to coordinate and respond. While specific details about these operations were not provided, this marks a notable elevation in the public profile of cyber warfare, which has historically remained undisclosed.
