US, Israel behind Stuxnet worm: Iran
A senior Iranian military official says the United States and Israel unleashed the destructive computer worm Stuxnet in order to sabotage Iran's industrial facilities. The head of the Iranian Passive Defense Organization told IRNA on Saturday that the German engineering company Siemens AG provided the information on the software used at Iranian industrial sites. “The research and inquiry into the matter indicates that the Stuxnet worm had been disseminated from sources in the US and Israel," Gholam-Reza Jalali stated. He said that the malware could have caused tragic accidents and loss of life if Iranian experts had not discovered and dealt with it in due time.
