On Saturday, the U.S. and Israeli jets began a bombing campaign against Iran, killing its supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, and several senior government officials. Cyber operations played a significant role in the conflict, including disrupting communications and sensor networks in Iran ahead of the attack. The most direct confirmation of this was from Gen. Dan Caine, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Israel also reportedly used information from hacked traffic cameras across Tehran and hijacked two state-owned Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) channels to broadcast speeches by Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging Iranians to join the fight against the regime. However, while these cyber operations may have a significant impact, they may not have played significant enough time.
