Just heard it from CNN has breaking news .. no link yet
Iran just claimed officialy that it is under a massive cyber attack from the US and Israel
and their nuclear facilities might be at great risk
How responsible from the US and Israel to risk another Fukushima
by sending a virus that can crash vital system of a nuclear site
this could go very wrong .. do they want to kill everyone on Iran by radiations ..
If Iran claim official to the world that it is currently under massive cyber attack
then that must mean something very grave happenned because of that virus
edit on 6/22/2012 by Ben81 because: (no reason given)
Moslehi added:
"Based on obtained information, the US and the Zionist regime (Israel) along with the MI6 [the British intelligence service] planned an operation to launch a massive cyber attack against Iran's facilities following the meeting between Iran and the P5+1 in Moscow."

its so obvious who is this doing this, they dont even try to hide it.
DUBAI, June 21 (Reuters) - Iran has detected a planned "massive cyber attack" against its nuclear facilities, state television said on Thursday, after talks with major powers this week failed to resolve a row over Tehran's disputed nuclear activities.
Iran's Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi said the country's arch enemies the United States and Israel, along with Britain, had planned the attack.

They've been intentionally doing this for years. Stuxnet was developed by the US and Israel to control spin rates in Iran's centrifuges, literally causing them to shake themselves apart. With this and FLAME, I don't doubt they probably are under attack by the US and Israel again.
History of the Stuxnet virus, and how it was confirmed to be of US and Israeli design (also note how we lost control of it and it hit the internet). The arstechnica blog has links to the NY Times for additional information on our rather extensive history of alleged cyberwarfare:

By officialy saying that to the world .. it is similar to a declaration of war
letting know to their enemy that the virus seems to work is a weird strategy
why did they release such official statement that they are under heavy attack

I would like to see a constitutional amendment defining an act of war. This type of action sure would fit that definition.

They get justification that way. They now ethically have carte blanche to attach the US and Israel. China might even be willing to assist if the attack is going to be a tit-for-tat cyber war.
Even if it is not true, its brilliant. They claim we (US) waged a cyber attack. Unlike a physical attack, how can we prove otherwise? We are presumed guilty unless we could prove our innocence.
