U.S. Launched Cyber Attack On Iran’s Missile And Rocket Systems Under Trump’s Command – Report

U.S. Cyber Command. U.S. Air Force/Technical Sgt. Cecilio Ricardo

U.S. President Donald Trump approved a cyber-attack that targeted missile and rocket control systems of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Washington Post reported on June 22.

Sources affiliated with the issue told Washington Post that the attack was conducted on June 20 by the U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) in coordination with the military’s Central Command (CENTCOM). According to the sources, the attack was in the works “for weeks if not months.”

The idea of launching a cyber-attack on Iran was reportedly suggested by the Pentagon following the recent attack on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, a week before the downing of the U.S. spy drone off Iran’s shores.

Washington Post said that the cyber-attack was crippling to Iran’s military command and control systems. However, no one was injured or killed.

“This is not something they can put back together so easily,” one of the sources told the Washington-based newspaper.

Last April, the U.S. designated the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization, which explains how Trump was able to authorize such a large-scale covert attack.

Earlier this week, Trump revealed that he ordered a strike on Iran, but then called it back when he learned that it could lead to a high number of casualties. The cyber-attack was apparently the alternative.

Iran, which is known for conducting cyber activities against U.S. military and intelligence assets in the Middle East, has not commented on the Washington Post’s report, so far.

I suppose all Iranian military communication systems are just protected by bog standard McAfee anti virus software. No special protections at all. After all a cyber attack from the USA would be something they never could have expected.

Zionism = EVIL

SAM systems don’t operate on interconnected a fibre optic grid unless they are connected and even then the grid is turned off when in action.. They have their own localized radar and launch sequences. The Iranians are so confident about their systems that they only fired one missile with 100% accuracy. This is all embarrassed Americunt sour grapes and I am ROFLMAO for 4 days now :)

Hehehe yes ive been laughing it.up quite a bit as well.

Im also impressed by the wisdom of the iranian leadership.

The B team worries.me though, they have a plan and their sticking to it.

Actually iran now has the worlds largest cyber army after the stuxnet (Olympic game) worm attack on their centrifuges in 2010. After that attack Iran retaliated with a ‘warning shot across the bow’ attack on the banking systems in the USA. Rendering many banks unable to perform transactions. Just letting the usa that iran too is quite capable of doing cyber attacks too. Believe me there are sone very smart IT ppl that work for the Iranian cyber army.

paul ( original )

I don’t doubt it. I am sure you were not taking me seriously.

Zionism = EVIL

Another laughable PR stunt by an embarrassed Americunt moronic regime. The FACT is that Iranians caught the Amreicunts with their pants down. And in any case SAM systems have localized launch consoles and they are not ATM machines that can be hacked. On a more realistic note, Iran’s success is getting kudos all over the region and Iraq now wants Iranian SAM systems.

Iran would win against US ground forces and if the US resorted to the usual strategy of bombing civilian targets as well, Iran has already stated that ALL US assets and vassals in Iran’s defensive missile range WILL become targets.

INCLUDING the Squatter State of Israel.

Well everyone else has why not Iran too.

IRAQ WANTS TO BUY IRANIAN SAM SYSTEMS

Iraq has called for enhanced cooperation with neighboring Iran in the area of air defense, days after Tehran successfully thwarted an American spying mission by downing a sophisticated surveillance drone over Iranian territorial waters.

Visiting Deputy Commander of the Iraqi Army Tariq Abbas Ibrahim Abdulhussein made the call during a meeting with Commander of the Iranian Army’s Air Defense Force, Brigadier General Alireza Sabahi-Fard, IRNA reported on Sunday, citing the Army’s Public Relations Office.

The Iraqi official pointed to the Islamic Republic’s advanced capability in designing and manufacturing defensive systems. Baghdad was requesting the cooperation “in the light of the previous instances of observation by Iraqi military delegations of Iran’s defensive capabilities,” he noted.

Such cooperation, he said, would encompass such areas as production, training, logistical support in various fields, including electronic warfare operations, radar operation, optical surveillance, command and control, radar calculations, and software.

Baghdad’s call came after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) shot down an American RQ-4 Global Hawk, which had violated Iran’s airspace from the south, in what has been viewed by observers as a show of Iran’s aerial defense capabilities. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1e3062cfdf204d2249e433292c9a0f7691458f28b535eb88df74c5b61c54f456.jpg

Have you tried drinking more US ‘Coolade’ to calm yourself down?

And my dick is bigger than your dick arguments work in middle school, we adults laugh at such childish statements.

That embassy was just an ISIS command post it seems. Iraq will be glad to see us westerners go to hell.

Another example of failed F.uk.us foreign policy. When you turn enemies into cooperating friends, you better have equipment that cannot be destroyed by guys wearing sandals, who think so little of your captured gear they just burn it, rather than use it.

goingbrokes

Cyber attack! Lame – like they haven’t been cyber attacking Iran for at least a decade.

Zionism = EVIL

It is too much comedy for an old warhorse like me to laugh at. Let me tell you all how a modern AD system works.

All Iranian or Russian SAM systems are Stand-alone combat operation: All the combat sequence from detecting a target to its engagement is fulfilled by a single solid state screen combat vehicle without employing other assets. Operation within a battery (“master-slave”): One armored vehicle operates both as combat vehicle and as “master” command post. Then the combat vehicles acting as “slave” receive target designation data from the “master” radar console and subsequently fulfil all the combat operation stages and individual launch sequence.

The Iranians have 3 Sayyed or Taer missiles on the Khordad 3 and each can be fired individually when a target is locked in by the radar tracking unit. The Iranians normally keep their SAM systems well camouflaged and hidden and only wheeled out the mobile Khordad battery a few minutes before shooting down the hapless US junk. The Kolchuga or the S-300 FLAP LID-B radar would have tracked the drone from its origination in UAE as the Iranian tracking map clearly show. The Americunts are pathetic liars.

Assad must stay (gr8rambino)

i wish they had hacked the drone and kept it, like they did with the others, why do you think Iran did not choose that route this time?

Zionism = EVIL

According to Janes which is a Brit biased source, the Iranians have captured enough sensitive parts and are analyzing them with Russians and Chinese who are extremely interested to know how Iran managed to shoot down the most sophisticated Americunt drone that has very good electronic counter measures. RQ-4’s integrated AN/ALR-89 defensive suite includes a Radar Warning Receiver that likely alerted the drone’s operators of the incoming threat. Unable to outrun the incoming missiles, the operators likely activated the ALR-89’s radar-jamming self-defense system.

Whatever evasive measures were taken did not prove adequate to deflect the modern Iranian Khordad 3. The Mach 4.5 Sayyad-2C missile caught the lumpy drone with its full blast, bringing the more than $130 million surveillance system crashing into the Iranian shores of the Persian Gulf near the Straits of Hormuz.

i will :) but i wouldnt be so sure about believing that US would win

For US it would be a question of not winning but simply surviving. The chaos created by an attack on Iran would shatter the world (I don’t mean nuclear exchange). Economies everywhere would go down the tube.

frankly

If the US felt they could survive attacking Iran, they would have!

Serbia survived, itsnstill there today.

Iran can strikes the bases the planes take off from. Your just a war loving cheerleaderlike the other fucker.

I would have called you out yesterday, but i was busy being a real canadian playing softball and hockey.

war with Iran benefits no one.

Do you want to see israel.flattenned? Thats what war with iran means.

So go ahead tough guy, strike iran if you dare!

Its safe to say USA/UK/Saudi/Israel are guilty of this crime.

3rd Khordad single launch vehicle with three railing mounted Sayyad (Hunter) 3 missiles with maximum ceiling of 120,000 feet at Mach 4.5 and capable of reaching the stratrosphere in 3 minutes and as the Iranian video shows it took 2 minutes to knock off the RQ-4A, so my estimation is that it was at 80,000 feet before the missile hit.

K88k??

Assad must stay (gr8rambino)

Maybe that’s why they shot it down, they wanted to test out the khordad

Zionism = EVIL

Well, it works well even according to Janes. Perhaps one of the best medium to high altitude missile system with multiple missile type capability. This time the Sayyad2C proximity fuse missile was used considering the high altitude. Also since it is an Iranian made system the Americunt and NATO arseholes simply have no counter measures as the phased array radar frequencies can not be jammed. They tried but failed.

This is a defeat for America, NATO and Israel.

Correct. SAM systems have individual localized launch consoles. They are not ATM machines for Jew banks :)

Given that Western media will print literally anything, isn’t this the relatively sane option for Trump at this point? “Look, the Eagle kicked ass like you expect of us, but it’s all cyber so there are no pictures. Also, it’s all sooper secret (that’s why we’re telling everybody about it), so don’t bother me with pesky follow-up questions.”

I’d say it betrays a minimal awareness of–at least somebody in power that they Stepped In It, and they now need to find their way out of the paper bag. I never thought I’d say this, but isn’t showman Trump the right person to cover up the retreat with lots of noise and smoke?

“the attack was in the works “for weeks if not months.”” “suggested by the Pentagon following the recent attack on oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, a week before the downing of the U.S. spy drone off Iran’s shores.”

In the works for WEEKS if not MONTHS and suggested by the Pentagon on account of the tankers in the Gulf of Oman? Hmmmmm, what’s wrong with this picture? How about the attack, though it wasn’t by Iran, occurred a week ago. Continuing….

” the attack was conducted on June 20 by the U.S. Cyber” “the cyber-attack was crippling to Iran’s military command and control systems” ““This is not something they can put back together so easily,””

And yet they managed to shoot down a stealth drone afterwards. So many contradictions, must be for public consumption.

OMG, they shot it down before the cyber attacks.

So they didn’t think of doing so whilst there $130 million spy drone got shot down?

U.S. President Donald Trump approved a cyber-attack that targeted missile and rocket control systems of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Washington Post reported on June 22.

So if the Iranians were to accidentally launch a missile barrage against a U.S. base on the Arabian peninsula, it can be blamed on external hackers?

Oh I get it. Cyber attack the US, its an act of war, justifying retaliation with nukes. When the US stages a cyber attack, its just business as usual.

When next they come round hawking their booby trapped trinkets, they will sanction you for not buying.

Here right along all they really sell are coffins, no matter what they come packaged as.

So how would the US accomplish a cyber attack when Iranian missiles systems are off the grid? More BS coming from a bunch of losers from a loser state.

John

The Iranians are probably data-mining the US operation. :P

The WashingtonPost is not a credible source of information. I just go there to see what they are saying and to get a sense of how far into deep, deep outer space they have positioned their minds. As far as the story presented by the US military, give it a break fellas. You haven’t told it straight regarding anything that was going on. The last little mealy mouthed jewel coming from you guys, was that the drone ‘might have’ entered Iranian airspace but, just for a moment. Go jump in a lake. Lying is fine and part of the game. Stupid lying is not with me so, go shove it.

The cyber attack story sounds like one more example of image protection going on. I expect to hear much more of this type of crap from ‘reliable’ media in the United State. To the credit of the US military, they are about as keen on a tussle with Iran, as they would be about entering a large swimming pool filled with Jurassic era aquatic predators. My take, I hope the shooting continues to hold off for a bit longer.

That was a waste, if the U.S. could do that you would want to do that during a physical attack to minimize losses, now the Iranians can fix whatever vulnerabilities they have. At this point, I doubt the Iranians are using Windows anymore.

Dušan Mirić

The attack is probably under way since first hardware was set in place, so, this is just a kind of smoke screen to blur yet another “US Military” blunder
