The Dimona complex in the Negev desert is famous as the heavily guarded heart of Israel\u2019s never-acknowledged nuclear arms program, where neat rows of factories make atomic fuel for the arsenal. Over the past two years, according to intelligence and military experts familiar with its operations, Dimona has taken on a new, equally secret role \u2014 as a critical testing ground in a joint American and Israeli effort to undermine Iran\u2019s efforts to make a bomb of its own.<\/p>\n

Behind Dimona\u2019s barbed wire, the experts say, Israel has spun nuclear centrifuges virtually identical to Iran\u2019s at Natanz, where Iranian scientists are struggling to enrich uranium. They say Dimona tested the effectiveness of the Stuxnet computer worm, a destructive program that appears to have wiped out roughly a fifth of Iran\u2019s nuclear centrifuges and helped delay, though not destroy, Tehran\u2019s ability to make its first nuclear arms.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo check out the worm, you have to know the machines,\u201d said an American expert on nuclear intelligence. \u201cThe reason the worm has been effective is that the Israelis tried it out.\u201d Though American and Israeli officials refuse to talk publicly about what goes on at Dimona, the operations there, as well as related efforts in the United States, are among the newest and strongest clues suggesting that the virus was designed as an American-Israeli project to sabotage the Iranian program.<\/p>\n

In recent days, the retiring chief of Israel\u2019s Mossad intelligence agency, Meir Dagan, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton separately announced that they believed Iran\u2019s efforts had been set back by several years. Mrs. Clinton cited American-led sanctions, which have hurt Iran\u2019s ability to buy components and do business around the world.<\/p>\n

The gruff Mr. Dagan, whose organization has been accused by Iran of being behind the deaths of several Iranian scientists, told the Israeli Knesset in recent days that Iran had run into technological difficulties that could delay a bomb until 2015. That represented a sharp reversal from Israel\u2019s long-held argument that Iran was on the cusp of success. The biggest single factor in putting time on the nuclear clock appears to be Stuxnet<\/a>, the most sophisticated cyberweapon ever deployed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
