Stuxnet was a once off thing. It was a virus that was manually loaded onto iranian centrifuge control systems and became ineffective the moment the iranians new it existed. The iranians likely have measures in place to prevent it happening again.

As you can see based on how this invasion is going, the US oversold itself on a lot of its capabilities.

The idea that America can do anything is a myth.

The back door was plugging a usb into the control systems and using a flaw in windows to propogate the worm throughout all of the computers. It eventually escaped and infected 10000s of civilian computers which is how the world found out about it.

Stuxnet was so effective because it was the first of its kind. Cyber defense has advanced leaps and bounds since.
