Stuxnet Tested in Israel

Computer worm crucial in Iran nuclear delay

New York Times: The Dimona complex in the Negev desert is famous as the heavily guarded heart of Israel’s never-acknowledged nuclear arms program, where neat rows of factories make atomic fuel for the arsenal. Over the past two years, according to intelligence and military experts familiar with its operations, Dimona has taken on a new, equally secret role — as a critical testing ground in a joint American and Israeli effort to undermine Iran’s efforts to make a bomb of its own. Behind Dimona’s barbed wire, the experts say, Israel has spun nuclear centrifuges virtually identical to Iran’s at Natanz, where Iranian scientists are struggling to enrich uranium. They say Dimona tested the effectiveness of the Stuxnet computer worm, a destructive program that appears to have wiped out roughly a fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuges and helped delay, though not destroy, Tehran’s ability to make its first nuclear arms >>>

Hi! Benyamin,

     Yes, IRI is pursuing the assassination case, but they never revealed any evidence that Mossad carried out the assassination:

......pretty soon IRI will start to use a different version of computer operating system to prevent the future penetration and spread of the virus:

pathetic, shameful and damaging

by Roozbeh_Gilani on Sun Jan 16, 2011 06:55 PM PST

will be the adjectives used to describe this "islamist era nuclear saga" in Iranian school kids' history books for generations to come. From spending huge sums of the money owned by People of Iran on purchasing out of date, faulty centrifuges from a renegade pakistani third rate scientist, to giving away oil  and fishing consessions in caspian sea to russians for their cherobyl style reactor. And now this shameful example of lack of technical competence and discipline and scrutiny where the most top secret facility in Iran can fall victim so easily to a SW virus actually tested and "QA"d on the control system of the nuclear facility at the vendor site!

Shame, Sghame, Shame.

The New York Times is an unreliable source when it comes to reporting on Iran.

Let's wait for Iran's production figures to be released in the next IAEA report before fully buying into this.

I can`t imagine they were killed by their "naanvaee sare koochashoo", I think that is the case. I hope this itself don`t become the cause of war!!! since Iran have vowed retaliation.

So this video suggests that the nuclear scientist(s) were killed by Israeli agents?
