Last week, the United States launched a Cyber Attack against the computers of the Iranian military. It was a befitting answer to Iran’s downing of an American surveillance drone. According to the sources, President Donald Trump gave the confirmation to retaliate against Iran.

Who was the main target of US Cyber Attack?
The Iran Deal is defective at its core. If we do nothing, we know what will happen. In just a short time, the world’s leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world’s most dangerous weapons…. pic.twitter.com/58qwBLzxIH

The retaliation was targeted at the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. As per the news, this year the branch has been officially declared as a terrorist organization. The administration officials also stated that the cyber attack mainly aimed at computer systems. Moreover, it controls the missile launchers and Corps’ rocket.

President Trump was presented with many other options as a response to Iran. But he chose to pick this one after the event in which Iran shot down a U.S. drone over the Strait of Hormuz. However, it seems like America is ready for the action for the cyber war with Iran action, after the trade war with China.
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!

Luckily, no Americans were travelling in the aircraft. Besides, shooting down the US aircraft has grown the tension between the two countries. Moreover, some citizens believe that Trump has taken the right decision to order airstrikes in Iran. Also, this isn’t the first time America has aimed Iran with a cyber attack.
The Iran nuclear deal is a terrible one for the United States and the world. It does nothing but make Iran rich and will lead to catastrophe

Why Trump doesn’t want Iran to acquire nuclear weapons?
Iran cannot have Nuclear Weapons! Under the terrible Obama plan, they would have been on their way to Nuclear in a short number of years, and existing verification is not acceptable. We are putting major additional Sanctions on Iran on Monday. I look forward to the day that…..

Recently, Trump tweeted that he will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons. Moreover, he added that they would be putting additional sanctions on Monday. After the attack, the intelligence and military officials stated that America would attack back against the Iranian aggression in cyberspace.
If Iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of Iran. Never threaten the United States again!
