The Islamic Republic regularly issues threats against Israel, and has been doing so for years. The Iranian regime, however, has not so far been able to match Israel’s feats in hacking into its nuclear sites and more. Whether they will be able to do so in the future, what with all the help and support they’re receiving from Biden’s handlers, remains to be seen.
“Jerusalem Post website hacked with Iran warning on anniversary of Soleimani killing,” Times of Israel, January 3, 2022 (thanks to Henry):
Two Israeli media outlets were hacked early Monday with warnings from an Iranian propaganda video linked to the second anniversary of the assassination of top general Qassem Soleimani.
The website of The Jerusalem Post showed a scene from an Iranian missile drill last month in which Tehran destroyed a mock-up of Israel’s nuclear reactor in Dimona.
In the picture, the rocket appears to be fired from the iconic ring Soleimani wore, with the caption: “We are close to you where you do not think about it,” in English and Hebrew.
The Twitter account of the Maariv newspaper, which has the same owners as the English-language Post, briefly held the same message, but soon took it down. Maariv said its website was also hacked.
“We are aware of the apparent hacking of our website, alongside a direct threat of Israel. We are working to resolve the issue,” the Post tweeted.
The site was back online about two hours after the hack.
Former US president Donald Trump sent shock waves through the region on January 3, 2020, with the targeted killing of Soleimani, who was commander of the Quds Force, the foreign operation arm of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards. The Quds force is designated by the US as a terrorist organization.
Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad ordered by Trump, along with his Iraqi lieutenant Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, infuriating Iran and its allies….

This is like a football team, i.e., Israel, being ahead 42-0 and then the pathetic opposition, i.e., Iran, scores and makes it 42-7.

“Where you do not think about it.” Well, the Israeli’s can now begin to “think about” where they may not have “thought about it” before and figure out exactly “where” the terrorists are, and exactly “how close.”
The nasty mozlum leaders in iran have a way of boasting and bragging when it’s all just mozlum hot air.
Hacking can be done from very, very far away.

“…when it’s all just mozlum hot air.”
Well, somehistory, as I am sure you will readily agree, I have for decades now just assumed that virtually all of Islam is hot air and BS. This “assumption” of mine, btw, has never let me down. Not even once. I know of no instance when Islam has made me think more positively of it. Indeed, the more I have come to know about Islam the more I think it is the precursor in full religious form of Nazism—master faith v. master race and all that rubbish.
And a Happy New Year to you and yours. Hopefully 2022 will be a saner year than 2020 or 2021, though in full Clarence Darrow and Jonathan Swift mode, I will remain pessimistic and thus any positives will serve as wonderful “bonuses.”
After all, as many others have contended, pessimism is the ultimate optimism, paradox though this be. Take care, pal.

Thank you, Wellington.
I expect only bad from islam.
Didn’t “Murphy” put it in his “law” that what can go wrong, will? Perhaps not.
King Solomon said, “Time and unforeseen occurrence befall us all.”
I tend toward expecting the worst , hoping for the best, and being glad when it turns out not so. bad as expected. An optimistic pessimist.
Yes, perhaps it will turn out to be a good year. We need it. Thank you, and I hope the same for you.
Did you see my comment including that my new grand child, little girl, was born the last day of last year? She’s very tiny, but beautiful and has a strong voice. Children and grandchildren…true blessings.
WPM says
May both you somehistory and wellington have a safe healthy new year the world is a better place with both your wisdoms posted here.
somehistory says
Thank you very much, WPM.
I greatly appreciate the kind words. And may you have a good year, as well.
Wellington says
Thank you, WPM and somehistory, and may your new granddaughter (extremely new), somehistory, live a full and rich life and (very good possibility here) make it to the 22nd century, which world will hopefully by then be far saner than it is now, and which would have to include, of course, a comprehension of Islam’s “true worth.”
Best to you, your granddaughter and to WPM. May liberty survive over all enemies of it, not the least among them being Islam. And for this to occur your granddaughter in microcosm will have to study assiduously and accurately, a la Winston Churchill, the three most important subjects of all, i.e., history, history and history.
somehistory says
Thank you, Wellington. If her older (4 years) sister is any indication, the new one will be very intelligent and won’t take nonsense from anyone.
We played Monopoly Jr. and she beat me every game…honestly, as I was playing for real and went broke, while she had a large stack of money.
I have such fun listening to her talk and read, and I look forward to similar experiences with the new one.

I wholeheartedly agree – and that’s from someone with a hard science STEM background.
Clive Delmonte says
I have long been suggesting that Israel do the same hacking into their enemies’ broadcasting networks. Israel should also use drones to photograph “Palestinian” leaders’ estates and King Abbass’ palaces and broadcast the photos to spread some seasonal cheer among “Palestinian” hoi poloi.
Come on Israel!!
You must keep ahead of the curve!!

Iranian hackers hack two Israeli news outlets, leave warning: ‘We are close to you where you do not think about it’
…………..
More attempts to terrorize the Infidels–Jews, in this case. Luckily, this is probably pretty fruitless with the brave Israelis.
