The
director of the Centre for Research on Globalization says the loss to
Iran of the CIA's surveillance drone reveals the United States and
Israel's broader “military agenda directed against Iran.”
“This [spy drone operation] is a centralized
operation out of strategic command headquarters in Nebraska,” Michel
Chossudovsky said in an interview with Press TV's U.S. Desk on Saturday.
“It contemplates both theater operations as well as
covert operations using panoply of sophisticated weapons systems,” to
destabilize Iran, he added.
“These covert operations, constitute, potentially,
the first phase of an all-out attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Such an operation to attack either Iran or Syria is in blatant
derogation of international law, it is classified as a war of aggression
under international law.”
Chossudovsky noted that the fact that Iran was able
to down the advanced RQ-170 unmanned U.S. spy plane lends further
credence to “recent developments that suggest Iran has developed its own
capabilities in terms of cyber warfare and command and control
counter-operation.”
