Developments In Iranian Cyber Warfare Strategies [extract]

Since 2024, Iran's cyber activities have progressed, particularly in their precision and intelligence-gathering capabilities, allowing for more accurate and targeted attacks against Israel.

Following directives from Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei after the 7th October attacks, cyber operations expanded, including joint efforts with Hezbollah.

Despite these changes, Iran's cyber capabilities still fall short of Israel's, with Iranian hackers' skills being likened to those of mid-level organised crime gangs. Media reports in 2026 regarding a cyber attack that forced a British power plant offline for four days should be taken seriously far beyond the United Kingdom.

This suggests how the Iran conflict could develop and signals to governments and businesses around the world that they need to be ready for a new battlefield. The facility reportedly targeted by Iran-linked hackers was relatively small, and the British government has stressed that there was no risk to the wider energy system. That is important context, but it would be a mistake to judge the significance of this attack purely by how much electricity was lost. The question for every country operating critical infrastructure is what happens when the target is bigger.
