Shortly after President Barack Obama took office, plans were drawn up to unleash absolute hell on parts of Iran’s power grid, air defense system, communications and command and control apparatus via a series of coordinated cyber attacks, according to a new report in The New York Times.
This unprecedentedly large-scale cyber attack operation was code-named “Nitro Zeus” and it would have been a retaliatory alternative to a full on conventional military response against Iran should they have lashed out against U.S. interests and allies in the region following failed nuclear negotiations. This never occurred and the so called P5+1 Iranian nuclear deal was agreed upon and executed.
