U.S. cyber attack on Iran may set off a new type of arms race

The U.S. cyber attack on Iran with the help of hackers is without precedent in that never before have actions of this type been so blatant and so obviously carried out by Washington. The attack will have repercussions, particularly because of what the hackers themselves may go on to do. In addition, the attack is likely to set off a cyber-style arms race involving many countries. In short, nothing good can come of this.
