<p>Iran has insisted that its nuclear project was not affected by a mystery computer virus attack.</p>
<p>It said the worm known as Stuxnet had not caused any damage but accused the West of being behind it.</p>
<p>Vice President Ali Akbar Salehi revealed the virus attempt a day after diplomatic sources said that Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme had suffered a recent setback, with major technical problems forcing the temporary shutdown of thousands of centrifuges enriching uranium.</p>
<p>Mr Salehi said details about the virus became known only after Iran&#8217;s &#8220;enemies failed to achieve their goals.&#8221;</p>
<p>Iran earlier confirmed that Stuxnet infected several personal laptops belonging to employees at the Bushehr nuclear power plant but that plant systems were not affected.</p>
<p>The West has accused Iran of using the nuclear programme to develop an atomic weapon. Tehran dismisses the claim, saying it is for peaceful purposes only.</p>
<p>The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, said the Iranian uranium enrichment capacity has stagnated after initial rapid growth.</p>
<p>Tehran has taken hundreds of centrifuges off line over the past 18 months, prompting speculation of technical problems.</p>
<p>At the Natanz enrichment facility the number of operating centrifuges declined from 4,920 in May 2009 to 3,772 in September 2010, the IAEA said.</p>
<p>Suspicions have focused on the Stuxnet worm which experts last week identified as being designed to destroy centrifuges by sending them spinning out of control.</p>
