Iran says it is immune to cyber attacks by Western allies
Iran says it has been battling a cyber war since 2010 but is immune to viruses while accusing Israel, the US and its allies of trying to sabotage nuclear programme.
Iranian's nuclear facilities are immune to computer virus attacks according to officials
Tehran’s nuclear and industrial facilities suffer periodic cyber attacks according to a senior Iranian military official who added that the country has the technology to protect itself from the threat.
Since a virus known as Stuxnet disrupted controls of some nuclear apparatus in 2010, the country considered itself as waging a complicated cyber war.
Head of an Iranian military unit Gholam Reza Jalali said that most enemies would target nuclear energy sites, electronic trade and banking operations.
Jalali also said that Iranian experts have the skill to confront cyber threats adding that all nuclear facilities in the country were immune to cyber attacks.
Stars and Doku were two espionage viruses discovered by Iran but did not cause harm to Iran’s nuclear or industrial sites.
Officials said that they believed Israel was behind Stuxnet and other computer virus attacks along with the US and their allies in an attempt to undermine its nuclear programme.
Iran said that the programme is meant to produce fuel for future nuclear power reactors and medical radioisotopes required for cancer patients.
Contrary to claims made by the country’s officials, the US and its allies believe the programme’s goal is to develop atomic weapons.

Iran says a lot of things, displays a lot of weaponry which experts say are useless and old technology, and i bet that, should the worst come to the worst, the Iranian military will fare as badly as Saddam Hussein's Iraqi military.
