NOURNEWS - The Washington Post published a report last night (Monday, May 18) quoting a US government official and officials of "a foreign government" claiming that the Zionist regime cyberattacked against the facilities of the port of Shahid Rajaei in Iran.
An official in the port of Shahid Rajaei told NORNEWS: "Last week, some disruptions occurred in the computer systems of the port, which could be the result of a cyberattack."
He pointed out: Due to the full readiness of the passive defense units in the facilities of Shahid Rajaei port and the timely and effective confrontation with the problems that have arisen, no disturbances have been created in the process of the current activities.
Last night, the Washington Post added: "Israel was behind the cyberattack on May 9 on the water facilities and roads infrastructures of Shahid Rajaei Port."
Sources who their name was not mentioned in Washington Post report claim that the Zionist regime's cyberattack took place in response to Iran's cyber-attack on Israel's "rural water facilities" in April.
In the past, the Zionist regime has carried out several cyberattacks on the systems of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Zionist Foreign Minister Ashkenazi, who served as the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2001 to 2007, released a report at the end of his mission in the military, acknowledging responsibility for cyber operation by the Stuxnet virus against Iran's nuclear facilities.
On Thursday May 7, the Israeli Channel 13 television reported that the regime's security cabinet had discussed the "Iran’s extraordinary cyberattack " on Israel by holding a "super-secret meeting."
According to the Zionist regime's media, Iran's cyberattack on the regime's urban water network was not caused lots of damage, but the government called the attack completely severe , crucial and “redline-crossing”.
A senior Israeli official said: "While we did not even imagine such an attack by Iran, we are now facing an operation."
The claim of Iran's cyberattack on Israeli water facilities was first reported by the American Fox News, during which it claimed that Iranian hackers had used American servers in the attack.
A spokesman for the US Department of Energy also said that Washington has the power to secure itself and its allies against such attacks.
Following claims by the Zionist regime about Iran's cyberattack on its water facilities, Alireza Mirusefi, spokesman for Iran's delegation to the United Nations, stated that "the Iranian government is not involved in any cyber war."
