"Iran's current campaign reflects a deliberate shift toward attacking economic infrastructure and commercial actors. Data centers in the Gulf have faced physical, cyber, and hybrid strikes aimed at disrupting the digital backbone of global commerce."
"These attacks are not random. They are a coordinated effort to impose economic costs, manufacture uncertainty, and pressure governments by targeting the private systems that sustain modern economies."
