Today it is crystal clear to all how much Zionist state and violator of the rights of all citizens in the world, with an intention similar to apartheid behavior, has trembled in the wake of victory and continuous existence of the Islamic Revolution, and sees its existence in danger. And to save itself and with taking an escape forward strategy, Israel has committed what crimes like violations to the civil rights of Muslims and killing innocent children, and creating the group of Daesh. But in some stages of the history of the Islamic Revolution, there have been evidences that countries like the U.S., the Netherlands, Germany, France and UK had been even worse than the criminal and aggressor Israel and they have taken actions which will not be forgotten in the history of relations with Iran.

A recent documented report shows that except the U.S. and Israel, countries like the Netherlands, France and UK have repeatedly participated in sabotages against Iran’s nuclear programs.

Yahoo News published a report which had been prepared by two journalists and experts Kim Zetter and Huib Modderkolk, and the report shows how the CIA and Mossad got their malware onto computer systems at the highly secured uranium-enrichment of Iran’s Natanz nuclear plant and sabotaged there with the assistance from some European countries.

The writers of the report have pointed to the role of the Dutch intelligence Agency (AIVD). According to this report, the Dutch intelligence agency was asked in 2004 to help the CIA and Mossad get access to the plant and its agents had had several meetings for three years in The Hague. According to the report, Germany, France and UK have helped CIA and Mossad in creating Stuxnet virus.

Germany contributed technical specifications and knowledge about the industrial control systems made by the German firm Siemens that were used in the Iranian plant to control the spinning centrifuges, according to sources. France is believed to have provided intelligence of a similar sort.

An Iranian engineer recruited by the Dutch intelligence agency AIVD provided critical data that helped the U.S. developers target their code to the systems at Natanz. Till 2007 that mole provided much-needed inside access when it came time to slip Stuxnet onto those systems using a USB flash drive because Natanz was under tight security and it was not connected to the international network and penetration into its system was impossible. So the only way to have direct access to the Natanz installations and system was through sabotage by the assistance of their insiders.

The now famous covert operation known as “Olympic Games” was designed not to destroy Iran’s nuclear program outright but to set it back for a while.

The sabotage was carried out in two stages. In the first stage the code was designed to close exit valves on random numbers of centrifuges so that gas would go into them but couldn’t get out. And in the second stage it was intended to raise the pressure inside the centrifuges and cause damage over time and also waste gas and it would harm the process of production of uranium.

According to the report, the Olympic Games operation was primarily a joint U.S.-Israel mission that countries like Germany, France, the Netherlands and UK helped it a great deal.

But German media outlet Deutsche Welle believes what has been least-noticed so far is the role of the Dutch Intelligence Agency. AIVD along with intelligence agencies of UK had gathered the necessary intelligence about the companies which were involved in Iran’s nuclear program and had transferred it to the CIA and Mossad. So if this information was not handed over to the Western states, Stuxnet Virus would have never been  able to be used in sabotage against the centrifuges. Of course due to the vigilance of Iranian cyber experts in the Natanz installations, this sabotage was thwarted and led to a humiliating disgrace for saboteurs, but great Iranian nation would never forget this abhorrent and disgraceful liaison of the West, and scientific capabilities of its scientists.
