People often ask me if I think Israel and the US will attack Iran. My answer always begins with, “define attack”
From FOX News:
A spy device disguised as a rock reportedly exploded last month outside an Iranian facility that is believed to be a site used for nuclear weapons development.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard troops were inspecting data and telephone links to the Fordo nuclear facility in August when they found the rock, tried to move it and saw it explode, intelligence sources told the Sunday Times, according to Al Arabiya.
The ‘rock’ was able to intercept computer data from the facility, the newspaper reported on Sunday, citing those who surveyed parts of the device after the explosion.

Two questions, 1) did the device really exist? 2) if it did who blew it up?
the British had a fake rock by the side of the road in Moscow that agents would pass by, and it would suck all the data off whatever the device they had which was configured to work with it. The Russians rumbled it. Here’s the story:

This sounds like something more sophisticated, but essentially similar. It could have been designed to explode if tampered with. Kind of like Mission Impossible!
