Weren’t Iran’s centrifuges only hacked because they used off-the-shelf parts made in the U.S.?

I don’t know that part would have made much difference, they were already air gapped and the NSA probably could have figured out just about any centrifuge: The hard part was delivering the payload, which was apparently delivered via a rubber ducky left in a parking lot.
