I've Been Thinking:

Iran's chief of police, General Ismail Ahmadi Moghaddam, recently announced that the Iranians are forming a new cyber police force.

This is not a group of cyber cops to spy on Iranians. This is a special task force unit, created about six months ago, to troll the internet and try to defend Iran.

Iran realizes that they are hopelessly trailing the rest of the world in internet related matters. Iran knows that there is only one way to catch up - by entering the world of hacking and counter hacking.

Iran needs to groom their hackers. Thus far, Iran has no real significant homegrown computer masters.

Iran's failure to stop the Stuxnet virus pointed out to them and to everyone watching how little they know and how expensive it is to get reliable computer brainpower.

Iran will catch up. When Iran is determined to do something, they do it. And right now, Iran is determined to master the cyber world.
