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.
