1. Was it Saudis? They increased their oil output to
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (04.24.12)
allow Western nations to stop buying oil from the Democratic Islamic Repuiblic of Iran. Saudis have been hacking of late,nothing like disabling the competition and getting even more customers.
2. Iran Cyber Crisis
Alex ,   Johannesburg, South   (04.24.12)
Don't look at us in that tone of voice ! We know nothing about it. We were on Pesach leave at the time.
3. Iran Cyber Threat Unit

Eventually they won't be able to switch their kettle on to make a cup of tea !!

No, the Saudis don't have the technological know-how. They can crash banks and such, but they cannot take over control of a sophisticated computer network. Only one country can. Hint: It isn't the United States. Who's left? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Israel controls Iran's computer networks. All of them. Doesn't bode terribly well for Iran, does it? Gee, what a shame! Those Islamofascists are getting nothing less than their just desserts. The mullahs are sh***ing their skirts. Hey! That's a rhyme!
6. Israel control?
Itzchak ,   Jlem   (04.24.12)
"Israel controls Iran's computer networks. All of them." I wish this was true..but it might be a little over stated. Proof?
7. How can this be happening?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.24.12)
Things like this don't happen in civilized, technologically advanced countries, like Iran!!?

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.24.12)
Proof, you say? Okay. STUXNET. DUQU. TILDED. Whatever else the Iranians would like everyone to believe, the fact remains that their centrifuges at Natanz (presumably their second and third generation centrifuges that surpass anything developed in the West) are still spinning wildly out of control. The rods in Bushehr remain on the ground -- they cannot be reinstalled because they overheat, which risks explosion. We haven't seen any grand "tests" of ballistic missile capabilities (most of which in the past have been photoshopped, in any event). Iran is doomed. Proof? Wait a few weeks. You'll have proof in spades.
9. #1 - the Saudis don't have the capability!
michael redbourn ,   Arad Israel   (04.24.12)
This was either Israel or the States. Stuxnet and Duqu might still be active too. http://tinyurl.com/6toucla Russia and China wouldn't have done it.

Yes, Israel tech is soo advanced that it cannot locate Shalit in 5-6 years within her borders, get her most advanced tanks busted by Hezbollah militia, and Iran is getting closer and closer to nuclear weapons. Moreover, Israel probably helped Iran to capture the drone like a child bringing down his kite, huh?
11. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.24.12)
That was an American drone, not an Israeli one. An Israeli drone would never be captured whole (unless it was a Trojan Horse, such as the one deliberately downed in Lebanon, which enabled Israel to blow up an entire Hezbollah weapons cache)? Still laughing over that one, Israelis are. But if you are so disdainful of Israeli drone technology, how do you explain the fact that the Turks are frothing at the mouth and falling all over themselves trying to purchase some? Huh?

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.24.12)
It wasn't the United States. They don't have the requisite ability.
13. I suspect the Saudis!
(04.24.12)
14. It's Russia and China. They are hurt by Iranian export

16. Dictatorships will always be under attack
(04.24.12)
especially from the inside, by the people they terrorize. So Teheran cannot do anything to stop it because in a dictatorship nobody can trust anybody - Iranians live in a mass paranoia. And those posting here are either impostors, or Iranian agents because regular Iranians do NOT have Internet access, and if they do, they are too scared to post messages against their dictatorship!
17. Ahmedinejad's end is nearing
Communist Party ,   of Iran!   (04.24.12)
and for his fascist and criminal friends. They will never succeed to shut us! We are the people of Iran, and very soon the tyrants will hang!
18. Now Israel has a set of 50 new targets ;)

At Ynet, we (maybe better said, you) have Zionists, ordinary Jews, Palestinians, Sunnis, Shia, extremists, rationals, Americans, Europeans, Turks, Kurds etc. We only lacked a Communist, and here you are, everything is complete :)

Sarah, I did not say that the drone was American. FYI, it was Turkey who stopped all military aggreements with Israel. From here, it can clearly be seen that Turks are not falling all over themselves to purchase one. In fact, nearly half the drones were malfunctioning. Turkish Army is testing indigenious drones.
