President Trump claimed Governor Tim Walz was behind cyberattacks on Minnesota's water systems, contradicting the consensus among FBI, EPA, and CISA that Iran is likely responsible. The attacks targeted at least 30 community water systems, with the FBI warning the threats could spread to other states.
Background
Iran has been linked to multiple cyberattacks on US critical infrastructure in recent years, including water systems. The FBI and other agencies typically issue joint assessments when attributing attacks to foreign actors.
