Iran Accuses US, Israel of Stuxnet Worm, Warns of Legal Action
Iran's Passive Defense Organisation director Gholam-Reza Jalali has accused the United States and Israel of involvement in the Stuxnet worm, which targeted Iranian nuclear facilities in 2010. Jalali has hinted at potential legal action against the two countries. Meanwhile, a second worm, dubbed Stars, has been discovered, with minimal reported damage so far.
Last decade, the Stuxnet worm infiltrated control systems at an Iranian nuclear facility, causing significant disruption. Now, Iran alleges United States and Israeli involvement in the incident. Jalali's claims echo suspicions raised by a German security analyst. However, there are no public updates on negotiations between Iran, the United States, or Israel regarding these accusations.
Recently, Iran has discovered another worm, Stars, targeting its IT systems. The damage caused by Stars is initially reported to be very slight, unlike the significant impact of Stuxnet.
Iran's accusations against the United States and Israel regarding the Stuxnet worm remain unaddressed, with no recent negotiations or resolutions publicly known. Meanwhile, the newly discovered Stars worm has caused minimal damage to Iranian IT systems, unlike its predecessor.
