Iranian cyber operations historically followed a dual-track doctrine. The first track focused on espionage, aimed at acquiring intellectual property, military blueprints, and dissident intelligence to ensure regime survival and economic resilience under sanctions. The second track focused on deterrence, utilizing disruptive wiper attacks and critical infrastructure probing to signal the costs of conflict to adversaries.
However, in 2025, these tracks increasingly converged. Intelligence collection operations against the U.S. defense industrial base, conducted by groups like APT33, were not solely for IP theft but also for “preparation of the environment”—identifying chokepoints in logistics and satellite communications that could be disrupted in a hot war. Similarly, the “hacktivist” attacks on Israeli and U.S. water systems by CyberAv3ngers were not random acts of vandalism but calculated psychological operations designed to demonstrate the reach of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) into the daily lives of Western populations.

長崎の原爆犠牲者の慰霊式典に参列。
長崎県知事の慰霊の言葉の冒頭は「8月9日の午前11時に、長崎上空で1発の原子爆弾が破裂した」というものだった。
知事よ、原爆を自然災害みたいに言うのはやめてほしい。原爆は勝手に破裂はしない。

一方、長崎市長の言葉の冒頭は「米軍機が投下した原爆」と主語をはっきり述べていた。
この当然のことを、こういう場ではっきりと口にする人がほとんどいないだけに、よく言ったと思う。
ただ、市長のその後の言葉の内容には、個人的にはやや異論はあったが、ま、それはよしとしよう。

あらためて、広島と長崎の原爆犠牲者の皆さんに哀悼の意を表します。
