Trump blames Minnesota, not Iran, for cyberattack on water systems

The U.S. government is investigating a coordinated cyberattack that targeted operational technology across more than 30 community water systems in Minnesota during the weekend of July 26 and 27, 2026. While the attack affected water infrastructure in seven states, Trump attributed the incident to Minnesota rather than Iran. Homeland security officials continue to examine the breach to determine if Iran was responsible for the widespread disruption of local critical infrastructure.
