Did Iran hack U.S. water systems? / Cyberwarfare abroad / Ukraine’s air defense gap

In the past week, seven U.S. states have reported cyberattacks on their water facilities. Some in the cybersecurity industry suspect Iran was responsible. Is this a new element of the war between the two countries? And how big is the risk? Host Mary Louise Kelly speaks with NPR Cybersecurity Correspondent Jenna McLaughlin and NPR National Security Correspondent Greg Myre about the role cyberwarfare plays in military conflicts. They also discuss the latest from Ukraine, where a diminishing supply of air defense weapons has been unable to deter Russian missiles.
