An Israeli TV report revealed that Tehran’s strategic networks were under siege, just hours after news broke that Israel helped foil an Iranian assassination plot in Denmark.

On Wednesday, Israel’s Hadashot news reported that Iranian strategic computer networks and other infrastructure were attacked over the course of several days by a computer virus compared to the virulent Stuxnet virus, only more “advanced and sophisticated.”
The Iranians for their part are still refusing to admit the extent of the damage, according to Hadashot.
Stuxnet refers to a computer virus that struck eight years ago, which many believe was developed jointly by the Israeli and American intelligence agencies. The virus successfully infiltrated Iran’s illegal nuclear program, hijacking centrifuges and forcing them to operate at heightened speeds, which was detrimental to the enrichment process.
On Sunday, Iran’s civil defense chief, Gholamreza Jalali, claimed Tehran had control of the new virus.
Meanwhile, Israel has remained silent on the cyber offensive, with Hadashot reporting, “We tried to clarify. [Israeli intelligence is] refusing to comment.”
The Mossad did, however, reveal on Wednesday its role in foiling an alleged Iranian assassination plot slated to be carried out on Danish soil. Denmark responded by recalling its ambassador and calling for new European Union sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
以色列电视台报道说，就在以色列帮助挫败了伊朗在丹麦的暗杀阴谋的消息传出几个小时后，德黑兰的战略网络遭到围困。

周三，以色列的哈达肖特新闻报道说，伊朗的战略计算机网络和其他基础设施在几天内遭到了计算机病毒的攻击，而强毒的斯图克斯内特病毒，只是“先进和复杂”。
Hadashot说，伊朗人仍然拒绝承认损害的程度。
Stuxnet指的是8年前袭击的计算机病毒，许多人认为这是由以色列和美国情报机构联合开发的。病毒成功地渗透到伊朗的非法核计划中，劫持了离心机，迫使离心机以高速运转，这对浓缩过程是有害的。
星期日，伊朗民防局长Gholamreza Jalali声称德黑兰控制了新病毒。
与此同时，以色列在网络攻击上保持沉默，哈达斯报道说：“我们试图澄清。[以色列情报机构]拒绝发表评论。
然而，摩萨德星期三确实透露了它在挫败伊朗暗杀计划中的作用。丹麦回应召回大使，呼吁欧盟对伊斯兰共和国实施新制裁。
就在几天前，伊朗宣布，伊朗总统哈桑·鲁哈尼的电话被窃听，伊朗最高领导人哈梅内伊随后宣布：“面对敌人的复杂做法，我们的民防应该。…面对渗透，“路透社报道基于伊朗国家电视报道。
Just a few days prior, Iran announced that the phone of its president, Hassan Rouhani, had been tapped with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declaring subsequently, “In the face of the enemy’s complex practices, our civil defense should . . . confront infiltration,” Reuters reported based on Iranian state TV coverage.
