The Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh announced Monday that "Iran has extracted all the data and information existing in the intelligence gathering systems of the US drone captured by Iran last year."

"All the intelligence existing in this drone has been completely decoded and extracted and we know each and every step it has taken during its missions," Hajizadeh said.
He further revealed that "the US President had told the "Israeli" officials that the drone was tasked with spying on Iran's nuclear program, but our experts found after decoding the drone that it had not performed even a single nuclear mission over Iran."
"This reveals that Americans are taking the Iranian nuclear issue as an excuse to conduct hostile moves, including spying operations, against Iran," the Iranian commander said.

The RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft is a highly advanced drone that has special coatings and a batwing shape designed to help it penetrate other nations' air defenses undetected.
On another level, Hajizadeh denied the western claims that Ayoub Hizbullah's drone was made of the US RQ-170 stealth aircraft.

"The drone was an old product manufactured around 10 years ago by Iran," he said, and noted that "Tehran owned Ayoub's technology since March 2002 ."
Last October, Hizbullah's drone penetrated "Israel's" missile shields after flying hundreds of kilometers into the Occupied Palestinian airspace and getting very close to Dimona nuclear plant.
