  • The United States war force has taken down the prominent leaders of the Iran government as well as their successors.

  • A pro-Irani hacker group emerges with the name Golden Falcon, announcing that the U.S should expect cyberattacks amid the war, in support of Iran.

  • Explicitly naming the U.S as the primary target puts this hacker group among the few groups openly broadening the conflict narrative toward infrastructures in America

Golden Falcon Hacker Group to Attack the United States because of Iran 

Golden Falcon is a group comprising renowned hackers who are confident that they can hit the United States with cyberattacks. Before now, the group boasted of being behind the attacks that hit FTP servers. In addition, they published alleged coordinate data of the military system. Though these claims are unverified, the recent hits on government infrastructure by sophisticated hacker groups hint at the possibilities of these claims being authentic. Speculations are that Golden Falcon is allegedly joining the war digitally because of the heat upon Iran by over 13 countries.

“We are not at war”- Speaker Johnson Goes Full Orwellian Mode

On March 6, 2025, the United States Congress Speaker, Mike Johnson, made a public statement.

In his words, he said, “We’re not at war,” including that the US has no intention of fighting any war. “The President, as well as the Defense Department have made it extremely clear that this is an operation limited in its duration and scope.”

According to John, the US has a very simple mission, which is almost accomplished considering all estimates.

This public statement sparked a lot of controversy and debate amongst many individuals. Some are pushing forward the fact that every one of the US President’s team members lies differently.

“That’s why the US continues to push back the ‘mission’s deadline, and keeps pulling in more and more assets,” an angry individual implies.

Amid the ongoing buzz, a news outlet releases an update of The Wall Street Journal reporting that Iran’s access to financial assets is frozen by the UAE.

According to the report, the move is perceived as a retribution for strikes and would shrink Iran’s access to foreign currencies. 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has for a long time been a center for Iran’s business activities, posing “the most crucial conduit for Iran’s participation with the global economy,” according to an expert, Esfandyar Batmanghelidj, who is quoted as saying in the Wall Street Journal report

The chatter isn’t cooling down. It’s heating up. And now an angry mob is throwing shade at the UAE, calling them out as puppets who watched closely while the U.S. slapped sanctions on Iran and quietly took notes.

‘My Country is Attacked by Airstrikes from your Epstein Regime’ – Iranian Analyst Says

Westerners who want to “rescue” Iran from the Islamic Republic using bombs know nothing about the country or its citizens, Iranian Political Scientist Mohammad Marandi says.

He notes that even as missiles fire, populations come together all over the country to show support for the authorities and call for resistance against the invaders. The Western media has been lying for 47 years, with the impression that “the regime is nearly collapsing,” yet the people of Iran stand together.

Marandi concludes by saying that the major problem is that “we are independent, and that we don’t harbor the Epstein class that sexually molests and takes the life of little kids.” 

He added that “we don’t support them taking the lives of our children. We will never let your regime kill our kids and go scott free.”

Golden Falcon to Support Iran with Cyberattacks Against the US – Political or Emotional Move?

The hacker group announcing to attack the United States digital infrastructures has even added more fuel to the burning fire.

Is this a political involvement or a move driven by emotion? Speculations surge.

The identity has remained classified. As such, no one can tell whether this group is Iranian or friends from a neighboring country.

Unlike the numerous hacktivist groups recently emerging and focusing on Israel or Gulf states, Golden Falcon explicitly names the United States as its main target, making it part of the few groups openly widening the conflict viewpoint towards American systems.

What we do know is that hacktivist groups tend to pick sides fast. On one end, you’ve got groups like Anonymous. Remember when anonymous hacktivists target iran’s space agency? That was a direct shot at Tehran. Now, on the flip side, Golden Falcon emerges, vowing to hit the US instead. The cyber battlefield is no longer just about Israel or Gulf states, it seems. It’s gone global.
