If Iran is going to do, or is already doing, cyberwarfare then they'll do it whether or not they get attacked first. Why? Is that because you assume that Iranians are irrational and evil? Usually people do stuff because it benefits them somehow. So, why exactly would Iran launch a cyberwarfare attack against the US in a world where the US didn't strike first? But now, everyone will be on guard. Given how completely we've failed at building secure systems, I'm not sure that really helps.

Iran's top people have been established to desire the destruction of Israel at minimum, and they can't fathom the destruction of the US, but if they could, I'm pretty sure they would want that too. So, at minimum, they would want to do shit like this to Israel if they remotely had the capability. My impression is that they don't have remotely the brain-capital to do so.

'Rational' and 'personal gain' are kind of relative to your worldview. The people running Iran believe that if they launch a missile into Tel Aviv, the worst thing that can happen is they get sent to paradise for eternity and Allah is waiting to give them a high-five for wiping Israel off the map. Is it still 'irrational' for them to do so?

    I'm not sure what part of what I said is even debatable. Do you not think they believe God supports their mission to destroy Israel?

        So what you are saying is that US leaders believe that they are on a holy mission to eradicate Evil from the world? And that some opposition leaders believe that shooting a selected list of politicians who they disagree with is a good thing for US democracy? So if western politicians really mean what they say then I believe that same goes for Iranian politicians. Nigga please!
