Well, well, seems our suspicions were well placed. Remember? Iran Guards Claim Drone Overflight of U.S. Carrier<\/a> By Simon Kent<\/strong><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGG) faked an entire video claiming to show American warships transiting disputed waters in the Persian Gulf by piecing together old scraps of unrelated footage, French analysis confirms.<\/p>\n The original video, published by the IRGC on April 28, allegedly showed the flight deck of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier and was used to advance the claim that Iran was spying on the American military. It went public just weeks after Washington placed the IRGC on its list of terrorist organisations.<\/p>\n As Breitbart News reported, Iran\u2019s Tasnim news agency claimed a camera-equipped Iran Revolutionary Guards\u2019 spy drone captured the footage.<\/p>\n A week after the film was first made public, it was dismissed by the U.S. Navy as \u201cseveral years old.\u201d<\/p>\n Now France 24 has used Google Earth satellite images to determine the video was taken prior to December 2017, when work was undertaken to extend the landing strip used to show the drone\u2019s original takeoff.<\/p>\n Photos taken after that date show that the surface area of the landing strip is increasing, while the one seen in the video resembles the strip before work began.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n For other anomalies the French picked up on, and the rest of the article, go here: Breitbart<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nThe whole thing was scraped together from other video clips, or at least the French think so. I have no reason to not believe them. The video was so choppy, and if true the ship’s lookouts, who are paid to do just that, would have picked up on it well before the “fly-by.”<\/p>\n
