Washington which has grown disappointed at military war against Iran is now resorting to attacks against the country\u2019s infrastructures via different means, including cyberattack, Head of Civil Defense Organization Brigadier General Gholamreza Jalali said.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe Americans have gone after war against Iran\u2019s vital infrastructures after being disappointed in the military front,\u201d General Jalali said on Saturday.<\/span><\/h4>\n

He added that most attacks against Iran\u2019s infrastructures are cyberattacks, explaining that the culprit behind such attacks is not known.<\/span><\/h4>\n

General Jalali said that cyber systems now play a major role in Iran\u2019s vital infrastructures due to their rapid development, stressing the need for strengthening the cyber defense infrastructures in the country.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Jalali had said in February that the US had likely been behind the large-scale cyberattack that targeted the Islamic Republic\u2019s infrastructure in the same month.<\/span><\/h4>\n

On February 8, the Iranian internet service suffered hours of disruption in what telecoms authorities said was the result of DDoS cyberattack that was dealt with swiftly. The \u201cpowerful\u201d distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack caused users to experience connection issues, according to officials.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Brigadier General Jalali declared, in a televised interview, the unsuccessful DDoS attack probably originated from the US.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very difficult and time-consuming to trace the source of a cyberattack. The Telecommunication Infrastructure Company is currently studying and looking for the source of the recent cyberattack against the country \u2026 but our analysis is that the US was the origin,\u201d Jalali said.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cThe Americans\u2019 cyberattack has been foiled by our cyber defense unit,\u201d he said, but at the same time warned that the recent attack might have been carried out to study the feasibility of a bigger attack.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cSince Americans failed to give a military response to our recent shoot-down of their unmanned aerial vehicle in the Iranian waters as well as our missile attack on Ain al-Assad base [in Iraq], they are responding to our country through continued economic pressure and cyberattacks,\u201d Jalali noted.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe have managed to control their cyberattacks, and they have failed to damage any section,\u201d he said, adding, however, that the Islamic Republic must accelerate its efforts to launch its National Information Network in a bid to maintain services in case of bigger attacks.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Although the February 8 DDoS attack was dealt with immediately using the Iranian Information Technology Fortress, known as DEJFA, it still affected several service providers in Iran, including two notable mobile operators.<\/span><\/h4>\n

DDoS attackers normally use hijacked or virus-infected computers to target websites. During such attacks, websites become unreachable after an unusually large number of requests for information are sent to them, causing the servers that host them to fail.<\/span><\/h4>\n
