Iran: US Cyber-Attacks on Our Missile Systems Failed

By Staff, Agencies 

Iran announced on Monday that the recent US cyber-attacks against Iranian missile control systems have failed to cause any disruptions.

“The media ask whether the alleged cyber-attacks against Iran did take place,” Iranian Minister of Information and Communications Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi said in a tweet on Monday.

He further added: “They try hard, but they have yet to carry out a successful attack.”

On Thursday American outlets claimed that the United States had targeted computer systems that control Iranian rocket and missile launchers.

The attacks came shortly after the Islamic Revolution Guards Coprs [IRGC] shot down a US Navy RQ-4A global Hawk drone that had entered Iranian airspace in the Gulf region to gather intelligence, using Khordad 3 indigenous surface-to-air missile system.

“We have been facing cyber-terrorism for a long time...Last year we neutralized 33 million attacks with the [national] firewall,” Jahromi noted.
