According to Ralph Langner, the cause of the US and Israel using Stuxnet virus to attack Iran's nuclear program is because it does not want Iran to develop an atomic bomb. They used Stuxnet to control valves and rotors at Iran's nuclear plant, pretending they were still operating normally.

Earlier, many speculated that Israel was behind the Stuxnet worm to attack Iranian computers, and Tehran blamed the Jewish and American states for abolishing the country's two nuclear scientists. in November and January last.

Israel has been behind US efforts to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons through sanctions. The Stuxnet worm consists of two main parts, one to make Iran's nuclear centrifuge out of control. Another part will secretly record normal activity at the nuclear plant, then replay what is recorded to hide while the other part is damaging the system. According to intelligence sources and military experts, Stuxnet may have stopped one-fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges in November last year, slowing the country's ability to build nuclear weapons.

Stuxnet has invaded about 30,000 Iranian subscriber addresses, including some personal computers of Bushehr nuclear power plant employees. This is a self-mutating virus, used to gather information and reprogram industrial computer systems, specifically to attack industrial process control and monitoring SCADA systems.

Russia has asked the North Atlantic Military Alliance (NATO) to open an investigation into Stuxnet's "computer worm" attack on the Bushehr power plant. This is a power plant built by Russia.
