0650 GMT: CyberWatch. The reformist newspaper Shargh claims, from "unofficial sources", cyber-attacks against the Ministry of Science on Saturday.
Last week, a cyber-assault threatened Iran's infrastructure for energy, knocking out the websites of the Ministry of Oil and the National Iranian Oil Company and forcing officials to disconnect Iran's oil installations from the Internet.
Deputy Minister of Oil Hamdollah Mohammadnejad claimed Saturday, “The nature of the attack and the agents behind it have been identified but because we are still working on the case it cannot be announced."
Mohammadnejad insisted no vital information had been compromised and all systems were now working properly.
0640 GMT: We begin Sunday with an interesting ripple in Iranian politics. Ali Saeedi, the Supreme Leader's representative to the Islamic Revoltionary Guards Corps, has put out a pointed criticism of Grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi.
Saeedi said Makarem Shirazi was "misinformed" when he indicated that the Guards had been separated from the senior clerics of the Islamic Republic.
Saeedi's intervention follows another intriguing signal in which Makarem Shirazi and other Grand Ayatollahs praised Ali Motahari, the son of the revered Ayatollah Motahari of the Islamic Revolution but a "maverick" MP in his criticism of the Government and his pursuit of the impeachment of President Ahmadinejad.
