London: (RightNow). A British newspaper claims Iran hacked Middle East mobile networks to monitor US military personnel. The report states Iran infiltrated mobile networks during the war to track US personnel movements.

According to the Financial Times, Gulf officials suspect Iran exploited mobile companies’ roaming agreements. This was an attempt to determine the locations of US personnel.

The report indicates US lawmakers have expressed concern over this revelation. They stated that the roaming system and smartphone technology are endangering US troops.

It is important to note that during the war, Iran and its allies targeted several hotels in Gulf regions. These attacks injured US contractors and military personnel.

Experts suggest that besides digital surveillance, human informants and online information are also used to identify targets.
