Joseph Trevithick, War Is Boring: Revealed — America’s Spying Mission Along Iran’s ‘Black Line’
U.S. Air Force surveillance tracks close to the coast.
The Pentagon secretly snooped on Iran along a “black line” near the country’s Persian Gulf coastline. With both nations starting to implement a landmark nuclear deal, the Pentagon will likely keep this close and constant watch on the Islamic Republic.
In 2013, the U.S. Air Force performed at least one surveillance mission in international waters up and down most of Iran’s southern coastline, according to an annual Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency history War Is Boring obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
Censors redacted the entire content of the sections related to Iran, but left in a grainy map showing the “ISR operation along the black line.”
WNU Editor: This intelligence gathering is limited (you cannot look at what is happening underground) .... but it is being done for the simple fact that you may catch something that surprises everyone.
