Cyber Operations Support Military Campaign Against Iran
US Cyber Command is playing a key role in Operation Epic Fury, the US military operation against Iran, with cyber operations supporting the campaign through non-kinetic effects. According to Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, CYBERCOM’s efforts are focused on disrupting and degrading Iran’s ability to see, communicate, and respond. The operation’s cyber component may evolve over time, with a focus on intelligence gathering and support for kinetic operations. The Pentagon has not commented on the specifics of CYBERCOM’s role, citing operational security concerns. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
