Iran shut down a British power plant for four days in an
unprecedented cyber attack, in what can be described as the most
serious incident of its kind.

On today’s episode of Iran: The Latest, Roland Oliphant is joined
in the studio by Telegraph National Security Editor Rozina Sabur
to unpack her major exclusive on the Iranian cyber attack that
disabled a British power plant. They discuss why the government
tried to keep the breach quiet, how Iranian proxies are targeting
Western infrastructure, and parliament’s preparation to warn the
public to prepare for future nationwide blackout scenarios.

Plus, Washington has launched "Operation Economic Outcast," a
sweeping financial blockade aiming to choke off Iran’s remaining
oil trade and throttle its regime. US Treasury Secretary Scott
Bessent announced the key measures of the campaign, including
secondary sanctions against buyers of Iranian crude.
