A new report by technology giant Microsoft shows how hackers from Iran sided with Hamas after the October 7 massacre.
According to tests by the company's teams, Iran's cyber operations made use of new technologies, including AI, and all of its attacks were accompanied by online influence attacks.
However, no proof was found of coordination between Iran and Hamas on the day of the massacre itself.
Iran said on Thursday it would respond with "long and painful strikes" on U.S. positions if Washington renewed attacks, and also restated its claim to the Strait of Hormuz, complicating U.S. plans for a coalition to reopen the waterway.
A message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, who has not been seen in public since being gravely wounded on 28 March, has been broadcast by Iranian state television. The regime's credibility problem is hiding in plain sight.
Weeks of conflict have aggravated Iran's dire economic problems, risking calamity after the war, but the Islamic Republic looks able to survive a standoff in the Gulf for now, despite a U.S. blockade that has cut off energy exports.
