US spying on Iran nuclear sites from space -Iran |
2005-02-18 |
Washington is using satellites to spy on Iran's nuclear sites, Iran's Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi was quoted as saying on Wednesday. "We believe the United States has been spying against Iran for some time using satellites and other tools," he was quoted as saying on the official IRNA news agency, when asked about U.S. denials that it was using drones over Iran. Yunesi denied allegations by Washington that Tehran was secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear activities are for generating electricity. "Our nuclear and military activities are transparent. We have nothing to hide," he said. The Washington Post, citing information from unnamed U.S. officials, reported this week that the United States had been flying drones into Iran for the past year looking for evidence of nuclear weapons programmes. The pilotless planes flew into Iran from U.S. military bases in Iraq and used radar, photography and air filters to detect signs of nuclear activity, the newspaper said. |

#22 Now you're in deep trouble Sobiesky - you told them about the highly classified orbital mind control lasers! Hey, it's just a joke, nothing to see here, move on, there's no such thing as highly classified orbital mind control lasers. (You're still in trouble Sobiesky) |

#17 I understand we're also taking pictures down the fronts of the dresses of Iranian women and posting them on the Internet. |

#16 Just smile and wave at the friendly spy satellite. Did we mention we could see your women's undergarments through their clothes? |

#15 In other news, Iranian intelligence has learned that infidel American scientists called "Rite Brothers" have invented a flying machine of some sort and are alleged to be using it for military purposes. |

#12 One day soon, the Zionist Death Ray will be put into action again. Unfortunately, technicians are still trying to get rid of the stench of rotten fish. |

#10 3dc, and who says we're not doing it? ;-) There have been numerous reports of UFO sightings all over Iran in the last 6 months. |

#9 The Iranians originally procured the F-14 because they needed an aircraft capable of stopping the MiG-25 recon overflights of their country. |

#8 Then again we could throw them a real curve ball by maybe pulling the Project Orion Spaceship out of mothballs and flying low over Iran... The Great Satan strikes again? |

#7 Of course we are actually spying on them from tunnels we have dug deep in the bedrock under all their nuclear installations. If they dig just under the foundations of the reactors they should find our tunnels.... |

#6 But they should revel in their insanity and accuse the US of the really fruity and conspiricy theory stuff: Like just maybe.... a satelite has one of Judy Wall's Psychotronic weapons bathing their country in its rays... or Sending voices to their skulls asking them to convert... or just maybe... above top secret could provide them with some really scary stuff we are doing to them.... and for breakfast they could Wander over to that unknown country for the spricy de jour |

#5 Zionist mind rays--very powerful weapon. One Paleo explains his turning against all things Paleostinian just by that--Zionist mind rays. Upon further prying about details, he responded: "I saw the light--so it works, doesn't it?" |

#4 Actually we are and have been for 20 years. Just recently we have started using the Jooo mind probe and top secret Zionist thought traps on all the Iranian "Holy men." |

#3 Well if Iran would prefer the spying to be more overt, there's still a couple of operational SR-71s around. And there's not a hell of a lot they can do about either method. |

#2 We better damn well be doing it, or we would be negligent in our duty. |
