Iran suggests US
cyberattack led to weapons system failure
that killed 176 people
By ICH & Agencies
January 16, 2020 "Information
Clearing House" - Iran
is investigating how a cyberattack by the US
may have been the reason why the Iranian
weapon system operator confused the
passenger aircraft for a cruise missile.
The Iranians believe that the Americans
disabled their radar system after Iran fired
missiles at US troops housed in Iraqi bases
in Anbar and Erbil.
Iran Guardian Council chairman Ahmad Jannati
stated Wednesday that “enemy sabotage”
cannot be ruled out, while Brigadier General
Ali Abdollahi directly suggested that US
military forces hacked Iran’s radar systems
to make it appear that the airliner,
containing 176 people, was an incoming
missile. Abdollahi claimed that the operator
of the missile fired at the plane had
difficulty in receiving the message of the
command center when the alert about cruise
missiles was removed and mistook the plane
for an incoming American missile.
Abdollahi also said the possibility of
involvement of enemy infiltrators in the air
defense system was being probed by the
Iranian intelligence bodies and could not be
ruled out yet. |
