A Fictional National Security Story

A match of wits and grit is flaring up, burning throughout the vast expanse of cyber territory. America is stunned by the fighting power of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. Who helps them? The struggle extends to kinetics; special forces are called in; nuclear events are on the table. The plot twists and turns. Each side firmly believes in their just cause.
