FBI Director Just Revealed Something Shocking | American Center for Law and Justice

 

We cannot overstate the severity of what we’ve just learned Iran attempted to do last summer.

Even as the Biden Administration was attempting to negotiate a new nuclear deal, Iran was plotting to hurt – and likely kill – our children.

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced yesterday that the FBI learned of and subsequently thwarted a despicable Iranian-sponsored planned cyberattack on Boston Children’s Hospital. Wray described it as “one of the most despicable cyberattacks I’ve seen.”

Iran – the world’s number one state sponsor of terrorism – used Iranian sponsored hackers to launch a cyberattack against the hospital. This is beyond a cyberattack on a bank or a corporation, which is bad enough. This was an attempted attack on the lives and safety of innocent children. It’s not just that they could’ve caused chaos in the hospital’s records system or stolen patient records. Boston Children’s is a medical research hospital and shares a network with other similar facilities. These Iranian-backed hackers could have stolen critical medical research records.

And maybe more terrifying, these hospitals depend on computers and machines for medical procedures and even surgeries. Imagine a defenseless sick child undergoing some critical medical procedure or robotic surgery and Iran shuts down the system, or worse. It’s beyond evil.

Thankfully the FBI and the Boston Children’s Hospital’s cyber team took swift action to block the attack before it could truly become a problem. Had they not caught it when they did, it’s hard to imagine what might have happened.

Iran continues to prove it cannot be trusted. It has no respect for human life. Not even the lives of innocent children. And what’s incomprehensible to us is that even knowing about this, President Joe Biden is still pushing to work out a nuclear deal with Iran.

And even if they do bring Iran to the negotiating table, under the terms of the original Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) or as it’s often referred to, the Iran nuclear deal, the Biden Administration won’t even be allowed to mention this gutless attack.
