A hacking group linked to "Israel" claimed it launched a saga of cyberattacks against Iran, halting operations in some petrol stations in the country, as reported by Iranian state TV and Israeli media. 

Iran's Oil Minister Javad Owji revealed to Iranian state TV that the petrol stations were hit, very possibly by external forces, stressing that most stations had returned to their manual operation.

Oji continued, “The Zionist entity and the United States received a blow on another front and are trying to create a problem for our citizens,” affirming that the technical malfunction in the gas stations would be resolved within hours.

Media outlets also said the hacking group Predatory Sparrow has claimed responsibility for the attacks.

Israeli Anonymous fails to hack Imam Khomeini Airport website: Iran

Last year, the Israeli hacker group, Anonymous, attempted to hack the airport's website.

"Last night, the Israeli Anonymous hacker group attempted to hack the Imam Khomeini International Airport's website. The attempt led to certain issues for approximately 15 minutes, between 20:10 and 20:25 (GMT+3:30) Sunday," the Director General of the Imam Khomeini International Airport's Office, Mohammad Jaafarabadi, revealed at the time. 

He also attributed the attack's failure to Iran's multi-layered support system, which caused the group's bid to hack and bring down the website to fail.

"The airport will work under the supervision of experts, and it will be monitored around the clock," he added.
