Iran is likely to launch cyber attacks on Western countries 'within months' in retaliation for the U.S. ripping up the nuclear deal, experts warn. They said a former Iranian state-backed hacker revealed more than 50 operatives were competing for government-directed cyber attacks. 'Iran will likely respond quickly by launching destructive attacks on American, European, and rival nation (such as Saudi Arabia and Israel) businesses,' its report said. Recorded Future Iran expert Levi Gundert said the regime would want not only revenge but to deter other countries from imposing sanctions. Iran also conducts regular cyber espionage against Western targets, but has not made any attacks since the nuclear deal was signed in 2015.
