US struck Iranian military computers

[HankD]

IMO, This is what was REALLY planed all along:

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. military cyber forces launched a strike against Iranian military computer systems on Thursday as President Donald Trump backed away from plans for a more conventional military strike in response to Iran’s downing of a U.S. surveillance drone, U.S. officials said Saturday.

Two officials told The Associated Press that the strikes were conducted with approval from Trump. A third official confirmed the broad outlines of the strike. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the operation.

The cyberattacks — a contingency plan developed over weeks amid escalating tensions — disabled Iranian computer systems that controlled its rocket and missile launchers, the officials said. Two of the officials said the attacks, which specifically targeted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps computer system, were provided as options after Iranian forces blew up two oil tankers earlier this month.

I will repeat myself, Trump never caves he just reroutes himself.

You know I am pro Trump. I was pro Trump when you were soundly never Trump. Having said that, his response is weak. Unless he hits Iran hard, fat boy Un will start acting up again shortly.

I did not vote for him because of his past sexual exploits. I have always supported his agenda. I have never been "never Trump". And I think your response in some of these posts about what Trump should do is severely harsh and not wise.

It is unwise to have a jet destroyed and not respond with hell and fury. That shoot down was an act of war.
Had Obama responded to a shoot down in this exact same manner, you would have been raising Hell to beat all.

Don't tell me what I will or wont do. You don't know me.

I know what you would have done. You raised cain about Obama for a lot less. You know full well you would have had a kitten had he responded the same way.

You don't know me any more than you know Trump. You have a lot of anger snip.

You have more anger than anyone on here. Listen to yourself talk about the "Calvies." Maybe you feel foolish for the way you used to bash Trump. Who knows?

Jet? It was an unmanned drone.

Great. Another mind reader.

It was a jet. A $220 Million jet to be precise. It's not a little toy. It's a vital military asset.

Not a mind reader, just a student of history.

He had to create a smoke screen while he had his software system engineers trash the Iranian missile defense systems.

They will probably recover after a few months - depending of course on what they did, but Iranian programmer heads have probably already fallen into the basket.

Unfortunately, the Russians will have them back online very fast.

No they wont.

It was a $120m piece of equipment, and...so tell us how many Iranian lives is that worth?

Trump said if was manned it would have been a different story, but that makes no difference to you?

$220 Million equipped as it was.

We shall see.

We probably won't know that either. Iran will never admit to it and neither will we.

The exception would be if we destroyed ALL internet service in Iran, then it will leak out.

We can clobber the IP Address Table with all (or selected) Iranian entries.

The TCP/IP Internet service in Iranian territory consists of both hardware and software.
Very easy to trash.

Even if Iran replaces their major servers that we virused, we can bring them down again the moment they come back up.

If they use satellite technology that's also easy to jam.

I am talking about the direct anti aircraft systems. They are Russian built. I doubt seriously we ever took them down, but if we did, they will be back up in short fashion. Sure we can turn off the web in Iran, but Russia and China have designed their systems to fight in the dark. They want the net and the satellites out if there is war. We are the ones heavilt dependent on satellites.

If Iran sent an drone over US airspace, would the US have the right to remove it from the sky?

Did we go after Russia for spotting Gary Powers and shooting his plane down? It wasn’t unmanned.

Seems when it comes to strength we will treat bullies differently.

Cyber attack the supplier, call into account both God and Magog.
