In
2006 when Iran-Europe dialogues proved unsuccessful Iran started it’s
Centrifuge-Centre in Natanz which was an alarming condition for Israel and
America. Israel wanted to attack the centre but American army stopped them and suggested
to destroy the centre by virus. President Bush after little hesitation approved
the mission named “Operation-Olympic-Games”. General James Cart established
first Cyber-Operation-Unit in America for this mission which in collaboration
with NSA (National Security Agency) and 8200-Cyber-Unit of Israel started this
tough task. With the joint-effort a spy-program “Beacon” was created. Now the
next step was to enter it in industrial-computers (300-7S of Simons, Germany)
of the centre to find out their working. Perhaps by some Iranian traitor this
job was done. Due to computer-networking the program spread in all the
computers and the desired information were collected which helped the team to
create “Stuxnet” the most dangerous virus. This virus was
tested on P-1 Centrifuge machine got from Libya after they had ceased their
Atomic-Program in 2003 as Iran had the same machines. The test was successful. This
virus was designed to control the machine first and then destroy it. In late 2008
it was entered in the computers of Natanz-centre by USB. Two website-servers were established
in Denmark and Malaysia to control and update “Stuxnet”. It
was programmed to destroy every machine with different technique so that
Iranians could not guess the situation. At last it destroyed centrifuge showing
everything all right on computer-screen and damaging inwardly. Iranian thought
it to be the workers fault or use of mal-standard machine parts. Some workers
were also fired in this regard.
