Iran accused of using FAKE photo to ‘prove' US drone was over its territory
[Sun UK] IRAN has been accused of using a fake photo in an attempt to 'prove' a US drone was over its territory before being shot down.When revealing Iran had shot down the drone, the country's state-run IRNA news agency released a picture of an aircraft appearing to spiral towards Earth. It claimed the image showed a RQ-4 Global Hawk, a US military drone, being blasted out the sky over Iranian territory. However the same photograph - albeit in a wider crop - had previously appeared in a two-year-old report of a spy drone being shot down over Yemen in 2017. That report quoted Yemeni military sources as saying it showed an American MQ 9 drone falling to Earth near the country's capital Sanaa - and included pictures of the crashed drone burning on the ground. It wasn't immediately clear whether Iran mistakenly shared the old image or whether it was a deliberate attempt at spreading misinformation. False Flag!!11!! Posted by: Frank G 2019-06-20 |
