Israel-Iran Conflict Escalates Into Cyber and Hybrid War

The conflict between Israel and Iran has escalated into advanced hybrid warfare, with significant increases in cyberattacks and the use of artificial intelligence. An Israeli cybersecurity firm reported a 700% rise in digital attacks within 48 hours, highlighting the intensity of the digital confrontation. Iran has issued new threats against U.S. military bases if the conflict intensifies, while President Donald Trump considers potential U.S. military action but has not clarified his stance. Domestically, many Trump supporters and Republican lawmakers prefer diplomacy or sanctions over military action, as shown by recent polls and congressional debates. Prominent conservative voices remain divided, increasing the political tension in the U.S. The crisis has prompted international calls for de-escalation, with allies monitoring developments and advising their citizens.
