According to Iran's Fars News Agency on the 18th local time, since the morning of the same day, gas station services have been interrupted in many provinces, including the capital Tehran. This sudden public safety incident has caused widespread concern and concern. To this end, Iranian President Raisi has issued an urgent order asking the country's oil minister to immediately start repairing the problem and ensuring the normal life of the people.
According to reports, the impact of the service disruption is wide-ranging, involving multiple provinces, and has had a significant impact on the lives and economic activities of local residents. Due to the disruption of service at the gas station, many vehicles were unable to refuel in time, resulting in a lot of traffic congestion. Especially in large cities such as Tehran, the problem of road congestion is exacerbated by the already tight traffic situation.
Iranian President Raisi has shown great importance to this incident. He gave clear instructions to the oil minister to immediately organize forces to investigate and fix the problem. President Raisi's actions underscore his concern for public safety and livelihoods, as well as the importance he takes in cyberattacks.
In this incident, a hacker group called "Predatory Sparrow" is suspected of having launched the attack. According to the Jerusalem Post, the group has repeatedly claimed to have launched cyberattacks inside Iran in recent years. However, Iran's passive defense group has not confirmed this accusation. At present, the specific cause of the incident is still under further investigation.
Cyberattacks are a threat that transcends borders and is highly stealthy and destructive. Especially in key sectors such as energy and transportation, the threat posed by cyber attacks is even more serious. Iran has been plagued by cyberattacks several times in recent years. These attacks will not only have a negative impact on Iran's economic development, but also threaten its national security and social stability.
However, in the face of this threat, Iran has not chosen to back down. On the contrary, they are actively tackling this challenge. Iran's passive defense groups are the country's core force in the field of cybersecurity, and they actively respond to various cyber attacks to protect the country's critical infrastructure from being compromised. At the same time, they are also working to raise public awareness of cybersecurity in order to build a safer online environment.
In this incident, the reaction speed and operational capabilities of Iran's passive defense groups were tested. They need to pinpoint the cause of the incident as soon as possible and take effective measures to fix the problem. Although the specific cause and progress of the restoration have not yet been announced, it is believed that they have mobilized all their resources and put all their efforts into the restoration work.
At the same time, the Iranian government is also seeking international cooperation to address this challenge. Cyberattacks have become a global problem, and countries are working to strengthen cooperation to address this threat. Through international cooperation, intelligence, technology, resources and other advantages can be shared, forming a stronger synergy and effectively reducing the risk and impact of cyber attacks.
For the public, this incident is also a reminder that we need to pay more attention to cyber security issues. In modern society, the Internet has become a part of our lives, but at the same time, there are potential security risks. We need to raise awareness of cyber security, not to easily leak personal information, not to click on unknown links, etc. Only when everyone participates in cyber security protection can we build a more secure and stable cyber environment.
Overall, the disruption of gas stations in Iran's governorates is a serious challenge, but it also provides an opportunity for the country to reflect on and improve its cybersecurity. Through the government's active response, the cooperation of the international community, and the participation of the public, Iran is expected to successfully address this challenge and safeguard its national security and social stability.
