No, it cannot. The original, unmodified iPhone can run only applications approved and provided by Apple (even if they are written by third parties). And since Apple isn't going to approve and distribute viruses, none can infect the iPhone.
Of course, that security has a price - the reduced flexibility. You can't download tons of free games or utilities for the iPhone from the Internet.

Probably if it is used as a flash drive on an infected Windows PC. But I am not sure if it will disrupt the iPhone's operations.
I'm not sure but i research this question and found this website. It's the Apple company website so i'm sure it's true! :)

shouldn't
lol @ above answer
technically anything that gets on-line has a chance of getting a virus or getting hacked
My brother-in-law downloaded a ring tone that totally messed up his phone --- caused it to not ring again ever! He didn't have enough money to replace the phone and the phone company offered no help. Just becareful what you download.
Theoretically speaking, yes, because it runs a modified version of Mac OS X, but only includes the basic stuff like core animation and Safari.
Just about every cell phone has parts in it similar to computers, making them like mini computers. I've seen people's expensive phones turned to crap from recieving a bluetooth file that had a virus. You can also get viruses from downloading anything to your phone that's not from the company your phone is from. Just gotta be careful. Hope that helps ;)
it is a virous....
