Who engineered this machinery in the first place? This definitely sounds to be Microsoft Windows based, and there is no particular apparent reason that if it was engineered IN Iran, they would have wanted to used an operating system from the “Great Satan.” So I would have to figure it is a smuggled or pirated design originally from the Western world, and they were too lazy to try to port it over to a more security hardened environment like UNIX or Linux.

3 years to clean out a virus? Not a stellar record.

A virus, planted by the US, to keep Iran from embarassing the zero with a major US strike.

Attention, all nuclear scientists and staff. It has come to my attention that some of you are opening e-mail with no reference, no signature and no text, only a link. Now, I know you all like to see the one with the Mullah asking the widow for “nas-nas,” which is a personal favorite of mine as well, or to see unveiled women wriggling their noses. But this is a secure facility, and we cannot have that. From now on, you must never open such e-mails. Is that clear?
Yours,
A’jad.

Which of course runs on Windows... clever way of getting a back door.
If it was run on Linux, it would have been harder or perhaps impossible for Mossad to virus it.
