There is no doubt that there is a lot of purposefully-induced mystery as to the source of this cyber-attack (as though it will truly mislead anyone) -- that it is America, no wait, Israel, no wait, America, no wait an indie attack by some rich dude with a small army of elite hackers, no wait, it's Israel...
Hey, guess what? All the same.
Iran has certainly been expecting such an attack (it's been telegraphed for a long time), and in the general sense, I don't see that situations have changed much at all. I don't think of this as an OODA-loop attack... it hasn't been executed with speed, and it hasn't been executed in an atmosphere of pre-instituted confusion. It strikes me as an oblique assault, or a "refusal" of a wing to roll up the front; there is more to come.
