Iran built a vast camera network to control dissent. Israel turned it into a targeting tool
About this episode
The episode discusses how Israel has utilized Iran's surveillance camera network for military targeting.
The role of Israel’s hijacking of Iran’s street cameras in the killing of the country’s supreme leader underscores how surveillance systems are increasingly being targeted by adversaries in wartime. Hundreds of millions of cameras have been installed above shops, in homes and on street corners across the world, many connected to the internet and poorly secured. Recent advances in AI have enabled militaries and intelligence agencies to sift through vast amounts of surveillance footage and identify targets.
