It studies specifically the electronic attack on Iran ( stuxnet virus).

It provides a definition of the electronic war and an account of its influence on the international security and the international relationships that have developed due to a number of technological changes the world witnessed in the few previous years.

Multiple ways to use the electronic space came into existence due to its change into a space for international dealings.

This is at the level of the uses with civil or military nature.

This made the electronic space a field for the different conflicts by the countries or other activists to get as much dominance and the cyber influence.

This study aims to explore the influence of the danger of the electronic war on the international relationships.

The importance of this study lies in the fact that it enriches the scientific research.

It comes to the conclusion that the electronic wars go beyond the national borders and it will have a great influence on the nature of the global relationships and the international politics.

That led to the emergence of small and medium countries and other independent activists at the international scene.

Also, many factors helped in the use of this new space in launching different electronic attacks which vary between strategic attacks, attacks with military and security ends, and others with a political nature.

These factors include the easiness of the electronic penetration, the low cost of the attack, the non identical nature of the electronic attacks, the difficulty of finding the attacker, and the absence of law frames to determine the punishments.
