ALBAWABA - The Daily Telegraph reported that Iran conducted a cyberattack causing a disruption at a British power station for four days.
The Iranian cyberattack on the power station coincided with a series of attacks targeting water infrastructure in America last month.
Neither British officials nor the National Cyber Security Centre, which deals with attacks on critical infrastructure, identified the power station affected by the Iranian attack for security reasons.
The facility was offline for four days while staff worked tirelessly to bring it back online.
The Daily Telegraph quoted a government spokesperson responding to the report: "The incident affected a small-scale power generator and at no time was there a risk to the wider power grid."
Britain's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) urged power companies to stay alert over future possible cyberattacks amid continued tension in the region.
On the other hand, U.S. President Donald Trump said in a post via Truth Social that Washington escorted more than a thousand ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded to the American sanctions on Tehran, saying, "Washington says it is imposing the harshest sanctions on us, but we are standing firm and making every effort to confront this unequal war."
He added, "The enemy wanted the country to collapse and imagined it would become like Venezuela, but it has transformed into a power that has astonished the world with its resilience and cohesion. We hope to overcome the crises we face regarding the livelihoods of our citizens with strength."
