This definitely seems a little odd. Very convenient time to slap a "and they are pro-Iran" label on it.

Yeah, from the Pentagon's or CNN's PoV.

Though if I was a hacking group with little interest in Iran, hitting a US-based target...I might make some pro-Iran noises, trying to confuse the attribution. Or to curry favor with China, Russia, NK, ...

(And I'm not ruling out a nation-state actor being directly behind this.)
