Explanation:
This sounds like a headline. It can mean a lot of things. The exact meaning cannot be determined without reading the rest of the story. The only thing we can say about it is that it points to the Internet as the arena of this "warfare." It could simply be a war of words, or it could involve website attacks, computer viruses, etc.

Thank you for the additional context. Now we know it is not a computer virus or any form of hacking. It is merely an attack on the public opinion front by e-mail. Here as a suggestion for an Arabic headline:

اندلاع حرب البريد الإلكتروني في العراق
