Martin Dempsey, not pictured, at the Pentagon, in Washington.

(AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's pointed warning that the U.S. will strike back against a cyberattack underscores the Obama administration's growing concern that Iran could be the first country to unleash cyberterrorism on America.
