#2In a social media post on Wednesday, the hacking group that claimed responsibility said the Stryker hack was retaliation for a missile strike on an elementary school in Iran...
Being sickened and angered by the killing of so many schoolgirls, who happen to be Iranian, makes you "Pro-Iran"? Strange world.

#3At least from CNN's story, it seems unclear whether this was an attack by a known pro-Iran group, with an "in retaliation for killing schoolgirls" tagline. Or an attack by some unknown group(s), with such a tagline.
Given how many hacking groups don't like the US, the latter would tell us almost nothing about the attackers' actual identities and objectives.

This definitely seems a little odd. Very convenient time to slap a "and they are pro-Iran" label on it.

Nuance is dead, it is all collectively distilled to a binary choice these days.

They're angry about civilians dying, so they want different civilians to die from lack of medical devices?

I want American pedos to be brought to justice but let's not forget, in Iran it's legal to marry children so they are actually even worse on this issue.

Yeah, from the Pentagon's or CNN's PoV.
Though if I was a hacking group with little interest in Iran, hitting a US-based target...I might make some pro-Iran noises, trying to confuse the attribution. Or to curry favor with China, Russia, NK, ...
(And I'm not ruling out a nation-state actor being directly behind this.)

It's becoming tiresome to see nuance vanishing even here on HN.

No, you can both be wrong and right.
