Yeah, Iran has been a threat actor against the United States for a long time. They really don't like us. And they made that very obvious, not just by chanting death to America in the streets.

power grid, launching what's called probe attacks. And in those attacks, a cyber attacker, this is cyber espionage, really, will see how deep they can get within a network that manages the flow and connections of our power.
