Iranian state structures to work without Internet

Iran has decided to cut off its ministries and other state agencies from

the Internet in order to protect them from cyber-attacks

similar to those that used the Stuxnet and Flame viruses. According to the

British newspaper the Daily Telegraph, this step will be taken in

September, Tert.am reports.

The newspaper also cites the words of the Iranian IT Minister, Reza

Tagipur, who said that the global network is not trustworthy because it

is controlled "by one or two countries that are enemies of Iran,"
