Here are some of the high-profile Iranian-linked cyberattacks in the U.S.: 2011-2013: Dozens of U.S. banks 2013: New York dam 2014: Las Vegas Sands 2016-2021: Federal agencies and defense contractors A group of Iranian hackers allegedly targeted the U.S. State Department, Treasury Department and multiple defense contractors with access to classified information, the Justice Department said in 2024. An accounting firm and a hospitality company were also hit during the hacking campaign, which began by 2016 and ran until at least 2021, a federal indictment alleges. The defendants worked for a company that claimed to offer cybersecurity services, according to the Justice Department. One of them was accused of also working for the electronic warfare division of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC. 2017-2024: Ransomware and extortion 2019-2021: John Bolton's email 2020: Attempted election meddling Shortly before the 2020 election, voters in Florida and several other states received emails claiming to be from the far-right Proud Boys, warning them to "vote for Trump or else!" Intelligence officials later said Iran appeared to be behind the emails. 2021: Boston Children's Hospital 2023-2024: CyberAv3ngers' targeting of water systems 2024: Presidential campaign hack-and-leak operation Three Iranian nationals and IRGC employees were accused by the Justice Department of hacking into the accounts of current and former U.S. officials, members of the media and political campaigns. 2026: Medical tech company The Justice Department seized four websites it says were used by Iranian state-linked groups to post hacked information and take credit for cyberattacks. One of those groups, Handala, appeared to take credit for a March attack on medical technology company Stryker. 2026: Kash Patel's email https://www.rfi.fr/en/international/20260308-one-week-into-iran-war-the-dangers-for-the-us-and-trump-multiply ...Even after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and devastating blows against Iranian forces on land, at sea and in the air, the crisis has quickly widened into a regional conflict that threatens a more prolonged US military engagement with fallout beyond Trump’s control. …“Iran is a messy and potentially protracted military campaign,” said Laura Blumenfeld of the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies in Washington. “Trump is risking the global economy, regional stability and his own Republican Party's performance in the US midterm elections.” Trump, who came to office promising to keep the US out of "stupid” military interventions, is now pursuing what many experts see as an open-ended war of choice unprompted by any imminent threat to the US from Iran, despite claims to the contrary by the president and his aides. …Asked whether Americans should worry about Iran-inspired attacks at home, Trump said in a Time magazine interview published on Friday: “I guess … Like I said, some people will die.” But Jonathan Panikoff, a former deputy US national intelligence officer for the Middle East, said: “Nothing is likely to hasten an early end to the war more than American casualties … That’s what Iran is counting on.” …Though Trump has publicly dismissed any concern about already-rising US gas prices, he and his aides have scrambled for ways to mitigate the war’s impact on energy supplies as voters tell pollsters that the cost of living is their top concern. “It's an economic pain point on the US economy that it seems was not fully anticipated," said Josh Lipsky at the Atlantic Council think tank in Washington. One former US military official close to the US administration said the widening of the war's economic impact had caught Trump’s team by surprise in part because those with knowledge of oil markets were not consult. …Retired US Army Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan and formerly commanded the US Army in Europe, commended the US military for its tactics in Iran. But he told Reuters: "From a political, strategic and diplomatic standpoint, it seems not to have been thought all the way through.”… …In an open letter to Trump published on Thursday, UAE billionaire Khalaf Al Habtor, a frequent visitor to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, asked: "Who gave you the right to turn our region into a battlefield?"
