Last weekend the second conference of the Cyber Hezbollah organization was held in Tehran. Established in June 2011, the organization’s objectives include coordinating between pro-regime activists operating in cyberspace, providing them with instruction on cyber warfare, and organizing various online activities.
The The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center has reported that The conference was titled “Clicks of Resistance”.
The main lecture of the conference was given by Dr. Hassan Abbasi, head of the Center for Doctrinal Analysis for Security without Borders and one of the major theoreticians of the radical faction in the conservative camp and the Revolutionary Guards.
Abbasi warned about the close monitoring of Iranians’ web traffic by Western intelligence services, particularly the American National Security Agency (NSA).
The Iranian online presence, according to Abbasi, is like an operation in enemy territory. He called for the use of existing online tools against the enemy, based on the principles of asymmetrical warfare.
Abbasi added that the United States intends to carry out a massive September 11-like cyber attack on Iran, and that Cyber Hezbollah activists must act cautiously to foil the plot of the enemies and not give them any pretext to take action against Iran.
