PJM Exclusive: Actually, Stuxnet Has Completely Paralyzed Iran’s Bushehr Plant

Iran may even have to junk it and start from scratch.


Contrary to the claim made by the Iranian Center for Non-Military Preemptive Defense, the Stuxnet virus has disabled Iran’s nuclear centers.

Contrary to the claims made by Gholam-Reza Jalali — director of the Iranian Center for Non-Military Preemptive Defense — regarding the nature of the virus and Iran’s capabilities in dealing with the fallout, Stuxnet has wreaked serious and perhaps fatal havoc on the foundations of energy structure and the operating systems of the Bushehr nuclear installation. According to the Green Liaison news group, over the past year and a half the Bushehr plant has incurred serious damage and has lost major capabilities.

An individual involved in Iran’s nuclear activities reports that this virus was placed in the system by one of the foreign experts contracted to Iran. The virus has automatic updating capabilities in order to track and pirate information, and can also destroy the system hardware step-by-step. The internal directives programmed into the structure of the virus can actually bring the generators and electrical power grids of the country to a sudden halt, or create a “heart attack” type of work stoppage.

According to reports from within the IRGC — in cooperation with the Revolutionary Guards Intelligence organization and the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology — the Iranian Center for Non-Military Preemptive Defense has set up two computer task forces titled GOWHAR and MAAHER. The two organizations are said to have spent the last year and a half investigating the extent of the damage, however due to the complexity of the virus they have not been successful with a fix.

There is only one way a Program like that could be crippled by a Virus for this long, the people building the plant didn't do it on their own, they are dependent on outside help and do NOT understand the systems themselves from the ground up.

Its a Virus, sure the best and most secure place in the world could fall prey to it and suffer, but the people running the place can remove the virus eventually and get everything working again. The fact they can't, plus the fact it was planted by a foreign contractor, really begs the question, who is helping the Iranians build a bomb? Well besides the Russians, they live by the creedo that they'll be the last to be eaten by the alligator.
