Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced today that hostile forces have shifted their focus to hybrid warfare, after traditional campaigns failed to achieve their objectives. The announcement comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking at an internal conference, Iran's Intelligence Minister emphasized that enemies are using non-military means, including cyber attacks, information warfare, and economic sabotage operations, to destabilize the country. He warned that these attacks could be more sophisticated and harder to detect than conventional warfare.
Iranian officials have repeatedly accused adversaries, primarily the United States and Israel, of waging hybrid warfare against Tehran. In recent years, Iran has increased investment in cybersecurity and intelligence to counter these threats. However, cyber attacks and sabotage operations have continued, damaging infrastructure and the economy.
This announcement comes after a series of cyber attacks targeting Iranian government agencies and critical infrastructure. The Intelligence Ministry called on relevant agencies to enhance cooperation and improve defensive capabilities to counter hybrid warfare.
