According to Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi, because Stuxnet is so sophisticated, cost so much to write and uses two stolen security certificates, he believes only a national intelligence agency or a huge private company could have devised it, calling them 'enemies' spy services."

They're probably charged with 'Breathing Iranian Air without Governmental Permission' which usually results in a sentence that prevents them from becoming repeat offenders.
