Why would Ubuntu problems cause stress in the US/UK relationship?

I suppose the idea was that Canonical is a UK-based company and they're being threatened by the US's enemy.

Having said that, I really can't believe that either Trump or Starmer will give a shit about this, especially given the recent friction in that relationship.

Perhaps it's just that Iran believes it's only chance for victory is maximum public attention, and they don't have any real hacker know-how. So they pick a soft but well known target.

It's what they do to students inside Iran.
