One day after a devastating explosion in the largest port facility of Iran, the security forces were “one of the most complex cyber attacks in the country”.
According to the vice minister of telecommunications, Behsad Akbari “preventive measures” were taken. So far there are no details about the attack or suspected perpetrators.
Israel is always suspected
In recent years, the Iranian government had often held Israel responsible for cyber attacks. In February last year, Iran Israel was accused of sabotage of gas pipes, which affected the care in three Iranian provinces. In the past, the Iranian government had also accused Israel of making a wave of sabotage attacks and murders in connection with the country’s nuclear program.
The “Stuxnet” computer virus, probably developed by the US and Israel, caused the greatest damage in 2010. About 1,000 primary stories were destroyed by the malware and the Iranian nuclear program was thrown back for years.
“Chemicals exploded in containers”
The message about the defense of the cyber attack was one day after the devastating explosion in the most important port facility in the Mullah regime with at least 46 deaths and more than 1000 injured. “The cause of the explosion was chemicals in containers,” said a spokesperson for the disaster protection of the ILNA press agency. The state of television said that incorrect treatment of flammable materials had contributed to the explosion. A government spokesperson said, although chemicals have exploded, the exact cause is not yet exactly. There were no indications that Iranian opponents Israel is responsible.
