Iran scoffs at Obama request for US drone’s return

Iran on Tuesday scoffed at US President Barack Obama’s request for it to return a sophisticated US drone, with a foreign ministry spokesman stressing the aircraft violated Iranian airspace.
“It seem he (Obama) has forgotten that Iran’s airspace was violated, spying operations were undertaken, international laws were violated and that Iran’s internal affairs were interfered with,” spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said in his regular media briefing, according to Fars news agency.
“Instead of an official apology and admitting to this violation, they are making this request,” he said.
Obama on Monday acknowledged that Iran was holding the reconnaissance drone — a bat-winged RQ-170 Sentinel — by saying: “We’ve asked for it back. We’ll see how the Iranians respond.”
Iran last week displayed what it said was the drone on state television.
Officials claimed a Revolutionary Guards cyber-warfare unit had hacked the aircraft’s controls and brought it down.
US officials have indicated it was more likely the drone suffered a malfunction while on a CIA spying mission over the Islamic republic when it was captured.
The head of Iran’s parliamentary national security committee, Parviz Sorouri, said on Monday that Iran was in the “final stages” of unlocking the drone’s software and “our next action will be to reverse-engineer the aircraft.”

  1. Very Interesting

    This means that these fly by wire planes (DRONES) are no good if the electronic message is scanned and the plane redirected to obey the new command.

    Worrying for some! The technology is already outdated.

  2. I congratulate Iran on this accomplishment. Iran must not return drone to USA. Obama should be ashamed of himself. I am surprised he has no self-respect. America must formally apologise to brave Iranian nation and promise to reverse all the wrongs it has committed against them. I would also advise Iran to share drone technology gathered from this capture with Pakistan & Iran.

  3. Salam to you Iran. Simply great. Shame on you Obama, you don't even have a little respect for your hostile UN's Charter and feel everything is just your right……. Good to learn somebody from Muslim World there to keep you to your limits…. Salute to Great Islamic Republic Iran and her leadership……
    Aah… When would we learn to excersie our right…………..
