Psychological Warfare Over Physical Disruption

Iran's current focus in cyber warfare emphasizes psychological intimidation over direct attacks on critical infrastructure. While their capabilities have not breached major power or water systems extensively, recent tactics include targeting symbolic locations, such as hospitals, to expand their influence. Notably, the psychological aspect plays a crucial role, as demonstrated by an incident where Iranian operatives sent flowers to a hostage's family, stirring internal conflict in Israeli society regarding priorities in the conflict with Hamas. This shows a strategic use of cyberspace to exploit social tensions.
