Things are once again heating up in Iran folks:
Video: 'Allah-O-Akbar' chants send chilling message to Iranian regime | The Green Voice of Freedom: "GVF -- Iranians took to rooftops once more on Monday night in another show of unity and voiced their support for the leaders of their Green Movement, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi.And I'm guessing you might have missed this little story:
The move is part of a campaign by various reformist factions to send a clear and loud signal to Iranian authorities that any action against the two popular politicians would constitute a breach of a dangerous red line. In recent weeks there have been growing fears that the Iranian regime might be planning to stage further attacks against 2009 presidential candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi in order to finally put an end the opposition Green Movement. Security forces, Basij militia and the IRGC have in recent weeks, shown a readiness to carry out raids against the office of former prime minister Mir Hossein Mousavi, vandalise the house of Mahdi Karroubi and attack mosques and centres affiliated with pro-reform Muslim clerics such as the outspoken cleric Ayatollah Dastgheib."
After last week's Stuxnet disclosures, it was only a matter of time before the viral sabotage was flushed into the open, with Iran confirming that it had been in fact attacked. As expected, Al-Jazeera has just confirmed that not only has Bushehr been infected, but so have numerous other industrial sites all over Iran. Yet despite the pervasive attack, "no damage or disruption of nuclear facilities has yet been reported, however." What is surprising is that Iran has made such a major media splash on the topic: one would assume that demonstrating such broad cyberdefensive weakness would not be in the country's favor...I'd like to assure you that the war with Iran hasn't just broken out but unfortunately I can't.
More from Al-Jazeera:Iran's nuclear agency is trying to combat a complex computer worm that has affected industrial sites throughout the country and is capable of taking over the control systems of power plants, Iranian media reports have said.
