"Iran crushed image of U.S. superiority"

19 December 2011 [14:32] - TODAY.AZ
Capture of U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel drone by Iran has shattered image of American intelligence superiority, senior Iranian official Hossein Sheikholeslam said, IRNA reported. Downing the drone exposed latest data on American warfare and espionage strategies, Sheikholeslam added.

Sheikholeslam, who is also the international affairs advisor to Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Ali Larijani, said that in face of the disastrous intelligence blow and the persisting economic crisis in its mainland, the era of a U.S. empire has come to an end, placing the [U.S.] establishment on a verge of an economic, security, military and moral collapse.

"No U.S. pilot would dare to enter Iran's airspace, since if he got captured, this would have been considered as a major humiliation," Sheikholeslam noted. "American people are protesting the cruelty of the U.S. institution and they are calling for a new order."
