Iran says that the U.S. military used its digital infrastructure in its military action.

Digital blackout. Turned the Iranian air defense off. That tells how effective modern cyber warfare is. And it’s possible. That somebody can try to make this kind of blackout even in the case of nuclear war. A digital blackout in the command center can cause a horrible situation. That can open the entire nation to nuclear strikes.

Iran says. The network tools, like routers, were just switched off. Or rebooted themselves in a critical moment. Also, U.S. and Israeli authorities used hacked traffic control and maybe surveillance cameras and AI agents to track Iranian supreme leaders before they made their strike. There is a possibility that the Iranian government. Made backdoors to those components. And in that case, only one paper. That is on the table. Can open the entire system to the attackers. This is one reason. Why people should not allow. To make backdoors to the system. In that world, only one word can cause a fatal reaction. In other ways, the AI can play people like the security chiefs. And then make the phone call. By using fake call identifiers.

There are many ways to shut down enemy systems. The system can be ordered to reboot at just. In a crucial moment. Another way is to turn things like antivirus software.

Or. Firewalls against their users. It’s possible to mark the important information. Like mobile telephone calls and email. That comes from government computers as computer viruses. This requires that the recognition data package be considered malware. And that blocks that information immediately. So, the hacker must just. Find a route to the server. There, the antivirus gets new virus recognition details. And mark the communication between certain computers as malware. This makes it possible to deny communication. The system shutdown can be made. By using a logic bomb.

A logic bomb is a computer virus that activates at a certain moment. Or things like the trigger program that is downloaded to the system from the computerized radars. There is suspicion that modern military aircraft can deliver computer viruses. Through their radars. Or the transponder. That gives. Information to air traffic controllers or military commanders. It can also transmit virus code to the commanding system. Or some communication tools can transmit that information bomb. Or a computer virus. There are many ways to destroy the communication line. When that thing happens in the critical moment. The system is helpless.

Or the attacker must only put their own support station. Into a network distributor. And. That can open the entire network to attackers. Those network distributors can be controlled by using satellite networks. The virus packages can also slip into the system by. Making them look like updates.

When an attacker uses things. Like security cameras to track targets, that leaves the target without protection. The AI agents can observe targets. From remote distances. It can mark the target’s position. Precisely in seconds. If the AI agent can intrude. Into. The internal security system. From the leader’s place, it can find the real position of the target with ultimate accuracy. The attacker knows the precise place of the target. It knows when the target goes into the toilet. And it knows precisely the position of the room, where the target sleeps. Those tools can be used in regular network intelligence operations. Modern AI tools make it possible to make re-pixelation in images, which those systems transmit. And that can make it possible to break the data security.
