European Intelligence Sources: Iran Blinded CIA Spy Satellite
In a never before reported incident, Iran succeeded in blinding a CIA spy satellite by aiming a laser burst quite accurately.
Days after capturing a high-tech spying drone, European intelligence sources confessed that "Iran stunned Western intelligence agencies as it was capable of successively gaining access to jamming technology, allowing Tehran to track unmanned aerial vehicle navigation capabilities.
The report was published in the "Christian Science Monitor" after Iran hacked the control system of the United States' most advanced drone RQ-170 Sentinel earlier this month.
Former US Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton told Fox News that "such an option is possible."
"Some reports have said Russia sold (Iran) a very sophisticated jamming system a short time ago," said Bolton.
Noting that "US military says that is not true," Bolton stressed that "if the Russians have provided Iran with sophisticated jamming equipment it means a lot else is at risk too."
