Reply to comment by CupResponsible797 in Zero Days (2016) - Stuxnet, a piece of self-replicating computer malware that the U.S. and Israel unleashed to destroy a key part of an Iranian nuclear facility, and which ultimately spread beyond its intended target. [01:53:51] by Missing_Trillions
It was unauthorized access to computer devices, it was intentional destruction.
Iran owns their land, they own their uranium, they have every right to develop nuclear power. I really do think its the height of arrogance that we should be screwing with them when us screwing with them created the regime that has existed for the past 45 years.

In the same vein you presumably believe that the US should refrain from all foreign intelligence activities, right? This seems like a horribly naïve take.

DoD is obviously not bound by these laws, otherwise just about everything they do would be criminal.
Keep in mind that the alternative to Stuxnet was a pre-emptive strike by Israel, the US worked hard to avoid that.

In an attempt to stop a terrorist state getting nuclear weapons.
Im sure your cat videos and micro dick pics are much more important than nuclear attacks.

also known as refining their own ore for nuclear power. I have seen no evidence other than the claims of mealy mouthed politicians that they had a weapons program at that time.
