Disputing NYT report, Channel 13 insists attack on Iranian port was indeed severe

Disputing an earlier New York Times report, Channel 13 insists that the strike on an Iranian port that was attributed to Israel was more serious than what has been conveyed.

Computer systems at Shahid Rajaee port are still not back up, the network says.

Earlier Tuesday, the Times reports that Israel’s cyberattack on Iran’s largest port earlier this month, in fact, caused only minor damage — and by design.

“The attack on the computer systems at the Shahid Rajaee port in the strategically important Strait of Hormuz was limited in scope, creating traffic jams of delivery trucks and some delays in shipments, but causing no substantial or lasting damage,” the report said.
