Cyber Highlights
Within hours of the 28 February strikes, cyberspace actors transitioned to an operationally active posture. Iran’s domestic internet connectivity collapsed concurrently with the initial military action, dropping to between one and four percent of normal traffic levels. Intelligence community assessments concluded that the disruption was intended to degrade IRGC command-and-control capacity.
On the visible surface of the cyber environment, an estimated 60 active hacktivist groups were operating as of 2 March, coordinated in part through an Electronic Operations Room established on 28 February, and including pro-Russian collectives alongside Iran-aligned actors.

US and Israeli Attacks Against Iran Trigger Regional Escalation, Disrupting Strategic Sectors
On 28 February, the US and Israel launched coordinated large-scale strikes on Iran targeting leadership, nuclear facilities, and missile infrastructure, resulting in the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran’s retaliation rapidly expanded the conflict across the region, with missile and drone attacks striking Israeli territory and US assets across several Gulf countries and beyond, including Cyprus, Turkey, and Azerbaijan.
