Tasnim reported Tuesday that the Cyber Support Front infiltrated Israeli weapons manufacturer Novamill, marking the latest alleged Iran-linked cyber operation in the U.S.-Israeli war.
Analysts say Tehran is using cyber tools to raise costs on stronger foes, pairing espionage, disruption and information warfare with missile and drone attacks across the conflict.
Recent incidents already tied to Iran include July hacks that shut a U.K. power plant and hit up to 30 U.S. water systems, underscoring concern that critical infrastructure is a prime target.
Experts warn Iran’s cyber buildup—accelerated after the 2009 Stuxnet attack and now potentially enhanced by AI—could trigger wider economic disruption, public panic and pressure for U.S. military retaliation.
