Consider stuxnet. Now replace Iran with the US and replace centrifuges with missile launch and targeting systems.

You don't need to do that; the US already kills anyone they want to as it is.

You don't even need an internet connection for them to receive virtually zero criticism for blowing you up with a drone-launched missile.

An impressive amount of hyperbole was packed into this comment.

In response to the parent: I highly doubt any of those systems are connected to the web, and more importantly it's likely the operators of such systems practice a bit more stringent data sanitization than the Iranians.
