US 'won't be able to finish' war against Iran: Zarif

Tehran (KNA) - Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the United States has already initiated a cyber war against Iran, but it could not "finish" a full-fledged war if it started one against the country.

In an interview with NBC's "Meet The Press," which will air in full on Sunday, Zarif referred to Stuxnet, a malicious computer worm that is widely believed to be have been made by the US and Israel.

"There is a cyber war going on. The United States started that cyber war, with attacking our nuclear facilities in a very dangerous, irresponsible way that could've killed millions of people," he said.

"There is a cyber war and Iran is engaged in that cyber war," he added. "Any war that the United States starts, it won't be able to finish."

The Washington Post reported in June 2012 that US spy services and Israel's military had worked together to launch the Stuxnet virus attack on a uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, Iran.
