That's the reason that Russia called all of its tech's home as soon as the worm was discovered. This may have been either intentional or accidental. My guess is that it was done intentionally.
How does that fit into the Israel-America thing. Paid the Ruskie off?

I don't know. But I have a feeling that a faction within the Russian Government was complicit. Russia does not want a Muslim nuclear armed power on their border. Who in their right mind would?

It has never been in the Russian interest to have a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. That is why they've offered to supply Iran with low enriched fuel and to take possession of the spent rods.

Well, to give out power is to lose power yourself.

I think they regret their decision to build the reactor for Iran. They opened a Pandora's box. That's the reason for the years of delay in construction.

Just like this stuxnet worm. Reading these articles all I could think of was a pandora's box being opened.

Governments have been preparing for cyber warfare for 20 years. This is neither new nor surprising.

The technician may not have known he was the vector for a virus. This would be a got spot to add the USG - Seimens plot to issue bad update/release media.

The tech probably never knew but I'm sure his government did. Sabotage of the Iranian bomb project was in the interests of three nations- Israel, the US and Russia.
