Iran's security protocols

[jauk]

This thread discusses technical aspects of security protocols and points out good ones, questionable ones, and those that can be improved. This is NOT a political thread. Perhaps pinworthy: @Persian Gulf @Hack-Hook

I understand the spirit of leaders giving each other rides, but in this case there is no symmetry:

This seems to me an obvious attack vector yet not included in Iran’s security protocols:

The devices were imported five months ago. Obviously the Iranian ambassador felt it appropriate to have one:

Honestly, I think it’s really dumb that Iranian leadership is using any western made electronics. Perhaps the dumbest security flaw is the diplomats using western brand cars like Mercedes for local transportation.

Phone, software, silicon, cars, etc should be sourced locally as much as possible.

Do you know how many components go into a car? To produce every single component yourself is not practical. Sure, be self sufficient in what you can, but ultimately better vetting procedures are a more practical answer.

I’m not saying every component should be made locally, but at least rely on local car brands. Of course, all other components that’s not made locally should be vetted through detailed supply chain analysis. Them using foraging brands while there are local options is just stupid.

I don’t know what’s going on in their heads - like they don’t want to drive local brands because of quality issues or they simply want to have the best foreign luxury brands because of aristocracy.

Long but excellent conversation around Iran’s regional status, missed opportunities, and options available to counter US and Zionia. One particular moment (1:24 to 1:26ish) the commentator severely criticizes Salami’s recent news conference where he said that Iran targeted 14 Zionist ships BECAUSE the Zionists targeted 14 Iranian ships. He criticized:

- why on earth was this information censored and not released by the military?

Salami also said that “Iran had no idea who was targeting Iranian ships for a while”(!).

The commentator’s criticism:

- so let me understand this, the information that 14 of our ships were hit was suppressed, yet YOU (referring to Salami) saw fit to say you didn’t know, in this moment of conflict and security crisis, who was hitting our ships?!
