Fact check
Is it true: Stuxnet (US/Israeli Iran Nuclear Sabotage)?
Yes — this is confirmed.
David Sanger's 2012 book Confront and Conceal, citing named US officials, confirmed Stuxnet's origin as a joint US-Israeli operation codenamed "Olympic Games", initiated under Bush and continued under Obama. Subsequent analysis by Symantec and Kaspersky confirmed the worm's capabilities matched Natanz's Siemens PLC centrifuge controllers. Iran acknowledged the attack in 2010. No formal US acknowledgement, but off-record confirmation from multiple former officials.
The claim
