Iran claims it downed US spy drone

Share:

Iran has downed a U.S. “spy drone” flying near its Fordo nuclear enrichment plant in Qom province, state-run media reported Wednesday.

There was no immediate reaction from the United States on the report from state-run Press TV, which cited a Tuesday story from another website — javanonline.ir.

The date of the incident was not disclosed.

Ali Aqazadeh Dafsari, an Iranian lawmaker, said air defense units of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down the drone, Press TV reported, citing javanonline.ir

Dafsari, who is a member of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said that the craft was on a mission to identify the plant’s location and collect information about the facility for the CIA.

The development emerged as the Iranian government announced on Tuesday that it was installing a new generation of centrifuges in its nuclear facilities. The French Foreign Ministry called the the development “a new wave of provocation” that flouts United Nations resolutions.

Iran’s development of missile and nuclear fuel technology has led to U.N. sanctions and accusations from the United States that the clerical regime is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

Iran says it has a right to peaceful nuclear technology. The U.N. nuclear agency has said it cannot verify whether the intent of Tehran’s nuclear program remains peaceful.

    Bird-hunters thought it was something to shoot for dinner. The ‘old-world’ village it crashed in thought it was a message from Allah, carried it on an ox-cart to the village square, and immediately bowed down before it … which allowed the local ‘thief-informer’ to steal it away quickly and try to sell it to the local ‘Ayatolla-Guard-Corp’, who had been watching TV and had an idea it was something important they could get medals for.
      Meanwhile, the village-people on raising their noses from the dirt saw it was missing – immediately declared ‘A Miracle’ had happened – began painting and carving likenesses of the ‘holy object’ from local irradiated rock, and advertised their village as the #1 tourist spot for ‘believers’.
      The Ayatolla delared this was ‘good’, as it kept the people busy. And that was how the village got it’s first paved road.

        You know you should learn to spell first but other than that its not your business what non Muslims say or think about Muslims. No one has to respect other religions even though its always nice to do so. Like when the cartoon of the profit came out and people went nuts. Its forbidden for Muslims to draw images of the profit not others is what they should have thought. Its also not nice to reply with hate about winning in the end and being a true believer. Had you been born a jew you would be just as passionate about your religion and the same with all other religions. Maybe he is a hater, or infidel or whatever you think he is and maybe his comments were stupid and racist but its not your job to judge him. I also feel he was making fun of Iran not Islam. I have said worst about Muslims and my father is a Muslim so I dont understand why youre so mad… If you really want to pick a fight with some Islam hater just google one of the millions of groups online or on facebook that openly hate Islam and send them a message.

            Of course a Parable of Iran … 🙂  I did not expect poor old leobetapar to understand it.  I think all of us have tried to apply some reasonable debate with leo, even if his mind has only one track, but stopped eventually; as another writer here pointed out to me, better to ignore him as it seems a lost cause. Something like a dog in heat, he keeps coming back … but always with the same drip … and I feel a little sorry for him.
             If I had written ‘God’ instead of ‘Allah’ he would think I was Jewish probably, but I could exchange place-names and religious habits and the story could be of anywhere ‘man’ has abused any ‘deity’, and the logically unfounded belief in it, to subjugate other people and keep them poor, uneducated, or enslaved. And constantly fighting each other.

          @ leobetapar, I dont give a shit if you or the people like you listen to what I have to say. After all animals need to be domesticated before they can function around us humans.
