Phil chats with futurist Skeeve Stevens about Iran’s limited cyber power. While active, Iran’s cyber capabilities are weak compared to the US and Israel. Any major offensive would be quickly crushed, as seen in their minor symbolic attacks like the one on the US base in Qatar.

Israel’s Unit 8200 is considered the world’s top cyber force—possibly even stronger than US Cyber Command. Iran may use proxies, phishing, and disinformation, but it’s the digital equivalent of throwing rocks from the shadows—annoying, not dangerous.

Iran’s approach isn’t strategic but opportunistic, relying on asymmetric tactics to stay relevant without provoking a crippling response.
