It sounds like a very good reason NOT to visit the site for a couple
of days.  IF it is a genuine Iranian militants attack then take away
the oxygen that they are after.  By not visiting the site they get no

that it probably isn't a genuine hack by Iranian militants.  More
likely some misguided kid who is very, very clever and got lucky.
