The Iran War Report

Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim they fired two missiles at a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz — the Pentagon flatly denies any ship was hit. President Trump launched "Project Freedom," sending military escorts through the Strait as two American merchant vessels completed the transit. Oil prices spiked as Iran released maps claiming full control of the waterway and warned all U.S.-guided ships to stand down or face consequences.

Iran sent a formal proposal to the White House offering to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz — but only if the U.S. lifts its blockade on Iranian assets and defers all nuclear negotiations to a later date.

In August 2012, Iranian hackers wiped Saudi Arabia's national oil company so completely it had to buy every hard drive on the global market just to get back online — and that was *before* Iran built the cyber arsenal it has today. In 2010, a piece of malware so advanced it was called the most complex software ever written silently destroyed Iran's nuclear centrifuges from the inside — and Iran spent the next fifteen years making sure no one could ever do that to them again without paying a catastrophic price. What they built in response is now aimed at power grids, water systems, and financial networks across the United States and its allies. === Everything you need to understand Iran's cyber army and why it explains the war happening right now. === New to the conflict?
