Iran recently launched a missile attack on a U.S. military base in Qatar, which was intercepted, escalating fears of broader retaliatory actions following U.S. bombings of Iranian nuclear sites. Cybersecurity experts, including Christopher Painter, indicate that Iran has been a longstanding cyber threat to the U.S., capable and possibly inclined to launch cyber attacks alongside military responses. The Department of Homeland Security issued warnings of potential low-level cyber threats from pro-Iranian hackers, while Secretary Kristi Noem noted the vigilance needed regarding both overseas and domestic radicalized individuals.
