Trump Blames Walz for Minnesota Water Hacks Despite Iran Suspected by Agencies

Multiple US agencies, including the FBI, EPA, and CISA, have linked a series of cyberattacks on Minnesota's water infrastructure to Iran, though they have stopped short of an official attribution. At least 30 community water systems in Minnesota were targeted in the attacks. Despite the emerging consensus among federal agencies, former President Donald Trump publicly dismissed the Iran theory and instead blamed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Trump's remarks came shortly after the FBI warned that similar cyberattacks on American infrastructure were spreading beyond Minnesota to other states.
