The cyberstrike reportedly came the same day President Donald Trump called off military strikes last minute in retaliation for Iran's downing of a US drone. Trump said the strikes would not have been proportionate to the downing of an unmanned aircraft.
Trump had said a cyberoperation was underway, but the New York Times report on Wednesday expanded on the impact of the attack as well as the Trump administration's motives.
The cyberattack "wiped out a critical database" used by the IRGC — a paramilitary force that operates separately from Iran's conventional military — to plan attacks on oil tankers, according to the report.
