Iran: 'Ooops'

Iran admitted a little boo-boo on Monday: There's been a 'malfunction' at the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

The flaw at the Bushehr plant was not caused by recent earthquakes in Iran, Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi, Iran's ambassador to Russia, was quoted by the ITAR-Tass news agency as saying.

Sajjadi's comments raised speculation -- amid recent reports of ongoing cyberwarfare between Iran and the West -- that the generator's malfunction could have been the result of a cyber attack.

Israel Hayom quoted Sajjadi as having said Russian and Iranian experts were trying to fix the problem, without saying when it occurred or whether it had led to the plant's shutdown.

Russia's state-controlled Rosatom nuclear agency, which built the plant, had no comment on Sajjadi's statement.

 It's the Mossad. Heh.
