Stuxnet-redux is redistributed inside their intelligence community.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit.

There are some who say that the intelligence community has never been so active - especially in Iran. They've had many very public successes, and a lot that haven't garnered the same amount of publicity.

Lots going on over there right now. We've got troops assembling at the Syrian and Jordan borders. China is sending ships to the Gulf and warned that they will wade into WWIII in defense of Iran, who is their biggest supplier of oil.

Also this:

HERE WE GO AGAIN: Iran Has Issued Indictments Against 15 "American & Zionist Spies" | Tehran's chief prosecutor claims they were carrying out espionage activities in Iran, but (surprise, surprise) will not release any details on their nationality, date of detainment, etc. http://t.uani.com/v0jRkb

And this:

Three more US warships have been dispatched to join the USS John C. Stennis in the 5th fleet region. With the Stennis, a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered supercarrier, already stationed just outside Iranian territorial waters, the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier has just been deployed from its home port to join the U.S. 5th Fleet AOR.

“In addition to the USS Carl Vinson’s departure, guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill and guided-missile destroyer left in the morning, and the USS Halsey will depart at 2 p.m,” reports NBC SanDiego, adding that the ships are headed for the Middle East.

Fears of an imminent military assault on Syria were sparked when the USS George H.W. Bush left its usual theater of operations to position itself just off the Syrian coast.

And...

Iran is going to shut down the Hormuz Straits to conduct trials.

That is probably the best explanation I've heard yet. Great way to infect them with Stuxnet II.

President Barack Obama is pressing his request that Iran return the U.S. surveillance drone captured by the country's armed forces.

Obama said he would not comment "on intelligence matters that are classified." But, he said during a White House news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that the U.S. wants the top-secret aircraft back. "We have asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said. (AP
