Iran Suspected in US Water System Cyberattacks

The FBI said cyberattacks targeting municipal water systems in at least seven US states were likely carried out by Iranian-backed hackers.

The intrusions raised alarms about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure, but President Trump dismissed the intelligence and blamed Minnesota's state government.

The president's comments drew criticism from cybersecurity experts and Democrats, who accused him of politicizing a national security threat.

The attacks came amid escalating tensions between the US and Iran, including a cyber dimension.
