Since you bring up Iran...I recently heard that a malware program was able to cause the malfunction of Iran's centrifuges at a uranium enrichment plant

A computer virus of unprecedented complexity, with some incredible intelligence techniques, able to secretly record conversations was exposed, writes The Telegraph. The Middle East countries were, apparently, in its sight, and Iran has ordered an emergency inspection of the entire computer systems of the state, after the discovery of the cyber weapons, known by the codename “Flame”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_(malware)

Flame,[a] also known as Flamer, sKyWIper, and Skywiper,[2] is modular computer malware discovered in 2012[3][4] that attacks computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system.[5] The program is being used for targeted cyber espionage in Middle Eastern countries.[1][5][6] Its discovery was announced on 28 May 2012 by MAHER Center of Iranian National Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT),[5] Kaspersky Lab[6] and CrySyS Lab of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.[1] The last of these stated in its report that "sKyWIper is certainly the most sophisticated malware we encountered during our practice; arguably, it is the most complex malware ever found."[1]

Flame can spread to other systems over a local network (LAN) or via USB stick. It can record audio, screenshots, keyboard activity and network traffic.[6] The program also records Skype conversations and can turn infected computers into Bluetooth beacons which attempt to download contact information from nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices.[7] These data, along with locally stored documents, are sent on to one of several command and control servers that are scattered around the world. The program then awaits further instructions from these servers.[6]

According to estimates by Kaspersky in May 2012, Flame had infected approximately 1,000 machines,[7] with victims including governmental organizations, educational institutions and private individuals.[6] At that time the countries most affected were Iran, Israel, Sudan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt,[3][6] with a "huge majority of targets" within the first.[8] Flame has also been reported in Europe and North America.[9] The program ceased operation after its exposure in the media.

But yeah!!! I'd say Krassenstein is a pretty smart cookie with all the technologies attached to his name.
