Iran is among the world’s more active practitioners of cyberwarfare, or state-sponsored attacks on computer networks and the myriad activities they guide. With Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowing “severe retaliation” for the U.S. airstrike in Baghdad that killed one of the country’s top commanders, Qassem Soleimani, there’s concern that cyberattacks could rise. Then again, it’s hard to know when and where cyberwarfare occurs, and by whom.
1. What is cyberwarfare?
Generally speaking, the term is applied to a computer-based attack that has the backing of one nation with the intent of hurting another. Unlike cyberattacks by individuals, cyberwarfare “is typically conceptualized as state-on-state action equivalent to an armed attack or use of force in cyberspace that may trigger a military response,” the U.S. Congressional Research Service said in a 2015 report.

Cyberwarfare is the use of technology to attack a nation, causing comparable harm to actual warfare.[1] ‘Cyberwarfare’ does not imply scale, protraction or violence which are typically associated with the term ‘war’.[2] There is significant debate among experts regarding the definition of cyberwarfare, and even if such a thing exists.[3] The term ‘Cyberwarfare’ is a misnomer, to date no offensive cyber actions could be described as ‘war’. Offensive cyber actions, such as those in Estonia in 2007, Georgia in 2008, Iran in 2010, North Korea[4] have occurred in the context of international relations, only resulting in condemnation and denial by sides.[2]
Cyberwarfare may not meet the typical definition of the term war, however, many states including the United States, United Kingdom, Russia, India, China, Israel, Iran, and North Korea.[5][6][7] have active cyber operations for offensive and defensive operations. As states explore the use of cyber operations and combine capabilities the likelihood of physical confrontation and violence playing out as a result of, or part of, a cyber operation is increased. However, meeting the scale and protracted nature of war is unlikely, thus ambiguity remains.[2]
The first instance of kinetic military action used in response to a cyber-attack resulting in the loss of human life was observed on May 5, 2019, when the Israel Defense Forces targeted and destroyed a building associated with an on-going cyber-attack.[8][9]
