WHAT HIT THEM?

Stars: Stuxnet 3.0

http://warintel.blogspot.com/2010/10/stuxnet-30-most-powerful-weapon-ever.html 

We wrote about it on 10.17.10

Click link above.

Three notable items,
One the defeat announcement by IRCG
Second
The secret nature of the damage.
Third
This is round #2
Confidence is high, and they will push limits,
technology, and strategy.

This is gona hurt Iran Regime.
We are witnessing real cyber war.
Fought in new domain, no boots on ground,
no injured, surgical strike, persistent, potential
kinetic strike, etc.
Its a different kind of warfare.
Enemy Counterstrike potentially illegal.

Can't validate attackers ID.
OUT OF THE BOX OPTIONS DEPLOYED.
Using new stealth attack paradigm.
OPSEC: will discuss when/if story breaks.

Paradigm Intel:
Our paradigm intel suggests Iran was just checkmated.
However not sure on what level.
Just the nuclear development capability,

The Stuxnet first strike was measured, mild,
and non-violent, no one was killed and surgical.
Its persistent, cloaked, Artificially Intelligence enhanced,
programed self-defense.

It killed no one, influenced only non-lethal sub-systems,
to stop nuclear program development.

Now what is strike two?
They could have terminated all electrical power in Iran.
Tilt targeted banking balances to ZERO.
Shut down Iranian cooling systems, causing a Japan
type Nuclear melt down.
Make Military stuff go BOOM, self destruct explosions.

The new stuff has some double blind paradigms
operations.

Stars; we think will target only regime infra-structure,
leaving civilian infra-structure standing.

Blocks the regime, somehow, working
on details, full picture.

The silence is deafening.

UPDATE:

Our BSU intercepts also picked up:

IATT #intercept: Iran regime: فردای نخستین آزمایش هسته‌ای ایران، یک روز معمولی "Tomorrow's first nuclear test, a regular day"

It turned out they were talking about what world press says.

Irans bomb test near.

And press has been setting dates for the first nuke test for years.

And then they said :

"Tomorrow's first nuclear test, a regular day"

The BSU was nuanced enough to read it as important.
But not nuanced enough to pick it out as humor.


NOT A VALID THREAT, G
Because of HV dated content, we blew the WHISTLE.G
