#2 Lord Garth submitted this link independently, with the following summary:

Diplomats reporting from Iran on 11-23 reported that many of the centrifuges have been taken off line.

Possible reasons:
- Stuxnet computer virus
- The equipment wasn't that good to start with and is wearing out
- The electrical company complained that their commercial and/or industrial customers were complaining about the brownouts.
- maintenance personnel were praying to Allah instead of tending the equipment and stuff happened

#4 Yar, door four, Stuxnet is just an additional distraction. We have more. Fearless leader is missing his deadlines? Har.

Too bad you Islamists aren't any good at science and technology, you just buy it, steal it, or blow it up.
