Well, now that Iran has had a $150B infusion, of course they’ll now join Russia and China and engage in even more cyber attacks against the US. With the Iran nuke deal “separated” from other terrorist issues, it’s almost as thought Obama is paying the Iranians (and the rest of the world for that matter) to hurt the United States.

The FBI has begun warning infrastructure companies about the threat of cyber attacks on the U.S. power grid, according to a new report.
