US continues to act as if it’s one way street, that they can bomb and starve everyone and no one will retaliate. Iran already has just cause to attack US as reports warned after US effectively bombed Iran nuclear facilities in 2010 Stuxnet cyber attack-CS Monitor, Dec. 2010, Dec. 2011, NY Times, June 2012

US should expect consequences: Stuxnet variant could attack the US, rendering it unable to protect itself said “little noticed” but “strongly worded” Dec. 2010 report from Congressional Research Service: 

12/15/2010, “Stuxnet ‘virus’ could be altered to attack US facilities, report warns,“ CSMonitor.com,Mark Clayton 

“Stuxnet ‘virus,’ a cyberweapon aimed at Iran’s nuclear facilities, could be redirected to launch a broad attack on US basic services, such as water and power supplies, says a report to Congress.” 

“Stuxnet, a computer worm that hit and may have severely damaged Iranian nuclear facilities, is the type of cyberweapon that could broadly harm the United States, undermining both society and government ability to defend the nation, says a strongly worded report to Congress. 

A successful broad-based attack on the US, using new variants of the Stuxnet weapon, could do enough widespread damage to critical infrastructure – including water, power, transportation, and other services – that it “threatens to cause harm to many activities deemed critical to the basic functioning of modern society,” said the little-noticed report issued by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) Dec. 9. [2010]

Terrorist groups, previously deemed not to have much independent ability to launch damaging cyberattacks, could potentially purchase or even rent a Stuxnet-based variant from organized crime groups to launch an infrastructure attack on the US, the report warns.”…

Added: US should expect consequences: “Countries hostile to the United States may feel justified in launching their own attacks against US facilities, perhaps even using a modified Stuxnet code,” the Institute for Science and International Security in a Dec. 23, 2011 report: 

1/3/2011, “Stuxnet attack on Iran nuclear program came about a year ago, report says,” CSMonitor.com, Mark Clayton 

“Stuxnet attack could result in harm to US interests in the future. 

“Countries hostile to the United States may feel justified in launching their own attacks against US facilities, perhaps even using a modified Stuxnet code,” ISIS [Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS), Dec. 23 report, “a little-noticed analysis“] concluded. “Such an attack could shut down large portions of national power grids or other critical infrastructure using malware designed to target critical components inside a major system, causing a national emergency.”“

“Achieving, with computer code, what until then could be accomplished only by bombing a country or sending in agents to plant explosives….“This is the first attack of a major nature in which a cyber attack was used to effect physical destruction,” said former CIA chief Michael V. Hayden….It is only a matter of time, most experts believe, before it [the US] becomes the target of the same kind of weapon that the Americans have used, secretly, against Iran.”…
