Explosions rocked a pair of Iranian factories involved in the manufacture of centrifuges for its nuclear program, and the development of advanced ballistic missiles. Iran suspects a cyberattack by either the US, Israel or both. A series of explosions hit various locations throughout Iran in late June and early July, killing scores of people and causing extensive damage. Two of these locations stand out in particular because of their importance to Iran’s national security, and their involvement in technology related to nuclear enrichment programs and ballistic missile production, which have been singled out by both the US and Israel as representing a threat to regional and international peace and security.
Early on Friday, a series of explosions reportedly hit the outskirts of Tehran, as well as the cities of Garmdareh and Qods, with speculation that missile depots were the intended target of the blasts.
The precise cause of the two explosions has not yet been determined. One, at a centrifuge production hall located in the Natanz Fuel Enrichment Plant, remains under investigation. The other, at the Hemma Missile Industries Complex, has been linked to an explosion in a gas tank.
The Natanz facility, believed to have been involved in assembling advanced centrifuges used in the enrichment of nuclear fuel, was heavily damaged, setting back efforts by months, if not longer. The Hemmat facility, believed to be involved in the production of advanced Shahib-3 ballistic missiles, also suffered serious damage, but the precise extent remains unknown.
I’d love it if we have perfected a space-based directed energy weapon that can destroy an entire building at will.
Well than boy do I have good news for you....It does all that aside from being a "direct energy" projectile
Rods from God?
My man Ronald Reagan with the original space force brother lol
Straight up Mossad
They have been at war with us since Kerry illegally sent them billions Obama's last WEEK in office.
!!!
Seriously, it's war. Everybody else against us.
Iran is just one obvious front.
war with Iran would last as long as desert storm....like 5 days
I'm sorry, but how the fuck does a cyber attack cause a explosion? Iran just covering that they have horrible work conditions and screwed up to not look bad to its people
Many aspects of a complicated machinery complex, such as a centrifuge farm, are dangerous if allowed to become uncontrolled. So if you can insert 'bad' codes or programs you can wreck them, quite easily in fact.
Stuxnet proved that publicly long ago for instance, but if you've ever done maintenances or engineering work at complex industrial sites you know how easy it is to have things come apart on you.

Even lesser processes- boilers say- are run using complex machine language, thousands and thousands of lines of code. Get a few lines wrong and you can easily blow a boiler.
Or, you can insert a program which switches electrical circuits, or shuts down power completely, do that while centrifuges are spinning and they wreck themselves.
The manner in which you ask your question seems angry and abusive, but 'how the fuck' it's done is via corrupted code/programs sometimes.
Proven fact, ask operators at any chemical plant, any automated process facility.

Wasn't trying to sound angry or abusive. The thing is normally when you think of cyberattacks, they are seen as stealing data or shutting down something, not causing explosions. So I was confused.
They take control of machines and cause them to "self destruct" by speeding up components faster than it can handle. Think of blowing an engine on a car.
