However, the re-entry of the USA to active combat in the region disrupted some of Iran's plans. Iran also carried out minor attacks on US bases and embassies in Iraq.
Iranian state television reported that high-ranking Iranian officials acknowledged the attack.
In addition, the Washington administration does not want to deal with Iran while having conflicts with Russia and China in different regions.
With the exact details still hazy, there is already rife speculation about whether the purported cyberattack came from the US, Israel or a range of local Iranian anti-regime groups.
The attack bore similarities to another attack months earlier that seemed to directly challenge Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the country's economy buckles under American sanctions. Those economic problems worsen as the U.S. and Iran have yet to jointly re-enter Tehran's tattered nuclear deal with world powers.
Part of the attack included the posting of fake messages about train delays and cancellations on terminal display boards across Iran.
The country disconnected much of its government infrastructure from the internet after the Stuxnet computer virus—widely believed to be a joint U.S.-Israeli creation—disrupted thousands of Iranian centrifuges in the country's nuclear sites in the late 2000s.
