Subject: TV report: Israel silent as Iran hit by computer virus more violent than Stuxnet

Iranian infrastructure and strategic networks have come under attack in the last few days by a computer virus similar 
to Stuxnet but “more violent, more advanced and more sophisticated,” and Israeli officials are refusing to discuss 
what role, if any, they may have had in the operation, an Israeli TV report said Wednesday.

The report came hours after Israel said its Mossad intelligence agency had thwarted an Iranian murder plot in 
Denmark, and two days after Iran acknowledged that President Hassan Rouhani’s mobile phone had been bugged. It also 
follows a string of Israeli intelligence coups against Iran, including the extraction from Tehran in January by the 
Mossad of the contents of a vast archive documenting Iran’s nuclear weapons program, and the detailing by Prime 
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN in September of other alleged Iranian nuclear and missile assets inside Iran, 
in Syria and in Lebanon.
