Israel Tests on Worm Called Crucial in Iran Nuclear Delay
By WILLIAM J. BROAD, JOHN MARKOFF and DAVID E. SANGER

The Dimona complex in the Negev desert is famous as the heavily guarded heart of Israel’s never-acknowledged nuclear arms program, where neat rows of factories make atomic fuel for the arsenal.
Over the past two years, according to intelligence and military experts familiar with its operations, Dimona has taken on a new, equally secret role — as a critical testing ground in a joint American and Israeli effort to undermine Iran’s efforts to make a bomb of its own.
Behind Dimona’s barbed wire, the experts say, Israel has spun nuclear centrifuges virtually identical to Iran’s at Natanz, where Iranian scientists are struggling to enrich uranium. They say Dimona tested the effectiveness of the Stuxnet computer worm, a destructive program that appears to have wiped out roughly a fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuges and helped delay, though not destroy, Tehran’s ability to make its first nuclear arms.

It is worth the time to read this entire article.
whoops. Sorry for the repost. I did a search, but it did not show up the first time. Perhaps I misspelled something.
Don’t worry about duplicate post. This is good news!
Which just ain't so secret any more....
Leave it to the Times.
of course the traitors in the media can’t wait to give up the information, because its a good story and serves their anti-israel agenda
LEAKING AMERICAN SECRETS IN THE PAST

So the war with Iran has begun. We did learn something from history. One could liken this to the sneak attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor where the main goal was to seriously hamper the United States’ Naval capabilities in the Pacific, not necessarily just aimed at loss of life.
It is refreshing to see some great contributions by the INL. It is a big employer around here.
They did a lot of work out there developing the reactor technology for our submarines.
They took us on a tour of one of the facilities when I was an engineering student. You could stand on top of one of the reactors and look inside it through portholes in the top while it was running.
Cool blue glow.
FWIW: Saw an aricle listed on MacSurfer of all places detailing the coming of Stuxnet II...
While I cannot stand the anti-American NYT, Dimona has been talked about for years in defense intelligence circles.
The Israelis are tight with security, so much tighter than we are here in the US. They were able to create and implement Stuxnet, a process which took several years, without a whisper of the project getting out to the rest of the world. Screw the NYT, they’re a day late on this one.
May they always be so.
