With massive population growth, poor infrastructure, and a period of severe drought, the Islamic Republic of Iran is experiencing severe problems with water supply, resulting in water shortages as well as sinking land, sinkholes and fissures.
Israel, on the other hand, is a world leader in water management; Iran can learn much from the Jewish state to solve its water crisis. But all priority in Iran is given to its jihadist Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp and its jihadi proxies worldwide, far above concerns for domestic needs.
Israel tried to reach out and help Iran, despite the country’s frequent chants of “Death to Israel.” Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Israel’s water technology to Iran, but was rebuffed, Islamic supremacist style. Iran demonstrated anew its obsessions with pride, propaganda, hatred and murder, instead of peace, reconciliation, and advancement. While other countries in the West and sub-Saharan Africa have benefited from Israel’s expertise in water management, the Iranian regime plots which infidel it can murder next and how much destruction it can inflict.
Now it has emerged that Iran has not only refused Israel’s help, but has launched a cyberattack against Israel’s water authority sites. An unnerving aspect of the attack is that the “Iranian hackers used American computer servers to launch their attack.” Fortunately, the attack was fended off. “Israel has an advanced cyber security apparatus and fends off of thousands of cyber attacks on a daily basis.” Sobering thought.
Jihadis are motivated by Islamic religious zeal, and have no boundaries on how far they will go to attain their ambitions. Westerners, particularly left-leaning ones, do not comprehend that. Appeasement and/or outreach merely emboldens the jihadis.
“Iran behind cyber attack on Israeli Water Authority; operated through US servers,” by Paul Shindman, World Israel News, May 7, 2020:
Iran is behind the cyberattack on Israeli water authority sites last month, Fox News reported Thursday.
According to the report, the Iranian hackers used American computer servers to launch their attack. The U.S.
Department of Energy refused to comment on the specific incident, but a senior official said the Trump administration was committed to protecting America and its allies against these sorts of attacks.
Two weeks ago, unknown hackers staged a cyber attack on water facilities in Israel with the aim of taking over operating systems and disrupting pump operations.
The attack on several water-pumping stations and sewage plants around the country apparently took place over April 24-25 , however, it is unclear whether any operating systems were taken over or pump operations disrupted.
Water and sewage operators were instructed to act immediately to change passwords for the operation of the facilities, “with emphasis on operational systems and in particular on chlorine adding systems,” a Ynet report said.
On sites where passwords could not be changed, operators were told to consider disconnecting systems from the internet.
No operational damage was reported, and the national water authority issued a short statement saying that “the issue was addressed.”….
