Have they asked one of the AI companies yet whether one of their AI magically escaped its sandbox and went rogue, causing these attacks? Because it might not be Iran.

Don't attribute to malice what can be as easily explained by stupidity.

Attribution of cyberattacks is notoriously difficult, so this is best considered propaganda.
