Just heard it from CNN has breaking news .. CNN Video Link

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

Well if Cnn reported it and Iran says it,

Then it must be true.

What if it were a critical mistake from the Iranians? Would they say, "oops we screwed up"?

Personally I do not really believe any of them.

It maybe true, it mabe not.

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:

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

This was from yesterday news


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."


They knew that after their meeting in Moscow
that Israel and the US will go full force on them with a massive cyber attack

If they are saying this now that they are officialy under attack
then they are declaring this has an declaration of war and will this time retaliate somehow

They know that they are protected now by China and Russia
it wouldnt be suicide to retaliate and it would be legal since they are under attack
this virus could create another chernobyl or fukushima in Iran .. so this is unaceptable

The date (22 june) is an illuminati date for sacrifice
coincidence that Iran is under full cyber attack now ..
This virus could also screw all Iran defence systems
readying the country for a surprise air attack

it's more that they can't hide it simply because they are one of the few in possession of such tech

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.


According to these articles (HuffPost and Reuters), they don't know what virus it is.

Have the US and Israel created ANOTHER virus to hit them with?
Are they just TRYING to provoke Iran into attacking first?

I have no clue, but it would sure seem that way, given the efforts of our/Israel's recent(2010 and now) track record.

Yes i know .. all previous attempt didnt do much damage
and Iran covered it up to because they managed to counter it

now they are official declaring that they are under massive cyber attack
no cover up .. just like a cry out loud scream .. the virus must have hit a critical system
and Iran is really pissed off

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

its worrying

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.

I agree with you on that mate, it is a very strange strategy.

I wonder if what we are seeing is the start of an Iranian false flag. I was trying to think it through earlier to try and work out if a false flag would benefit them.

The United States has declared that such an action against us would be an "act of war."

ABC News article backing this up:

Itsdefinately obvious that they have a win win situation going with this announcement.....
Firstly, they claim they discovered it......before the attack took place.....kudos kudos...
Secondly it puts the ball into their court for retailiation without condemnation....
It garners sympathy whether true of not for their underdog status which is no small drewing card.....
Thirdly, if they do have some kind of future nuke melt down, they can blame the outside influences, thus saving any Iranians from condemnation at home.....
Its likely a poy in my estimation...and may not be entirely true.

Who in their right mind connects a Nuclear power station to the internet?

Why dont they just pull the plug?

And another thing, assuming they did not have a connection it could only mean two things;

-They had an agent inside who uploaded the virus for them, or,

and this is the kicker,

-They hacked them through the power grid...

They believe the virus was accidentally transferred by flash drive from one of the infected nuclear facilities to a laptop, which accessed the internet. They also allegedly used an insider (also armed w/ a flash drive) who may or may not have been a willing participant, to upload the virus to the reactor's hardware. Hope that helps! If you're referring to the most recent alleged attacks, I don't think anyone knows yet.

Yes, it would. But first and foremost, it's an act of state-sponsored terrorism.

Nothing new for the federals. In fact, more often than not, it's standard operating procedure.

What's this *we* s# kimosabi? Fedgov is not the American people. It's a cancer or rabid virus that has taken control of our "government"

Fedgov is as dirty and criminal as they come and the odds of this particular covert action are very high. They have a hard-on for Iran because of Iran's strategic global position and resources. Israeli conduct in the region is also at play here -- stealing land, murdering Palestinians, and always threatening Iran.
