They cannot even keep the water pumps safe but still talk about winning the big war.
At least seven states reported cyberattacks on water and wastewater systems this week.
Minnesota hit first with more than 30 systems. Michigan and others followed.
Hackers targeted internet-connected controllers that run pumps and treatment.
Some systems lost pressure. Flooding risk rose. A few went to manual control.
Boil water notices went out in places. No confirmed contamination.
FBI and EPA put out a joint alert. CISA told operators to pull controllers offline.
US intel leans toward Iran-linked actors. Matches past campaigns since the war started in February.
Trump said Minnesota was behind it and doubted Iran.
Separate story: Ukraine drones hit an Iranian cargo ship in the Caspian Sea carrying military gear.
Days later drones struck LNG tankers at Egypt port. First time Egypt hit in the Iran war.
Saudi Arabia formed a Red Sea shipping coalition with 14 countries.
Russian drones and a missile crossed into Romania and Poland. NATO airspace breached again.
Analysts say the Iran and Ukraine wars are starting to connect through supply lines and retaliation.
lol. Back to the status quo.
Same old same old.
