Iran's Fars News claims that during a US attack on Isfahan, a large number of US-made communications infrastructure equipment stopped working. Iran believes these US Manufacturers build their gear with backdoors so the US Government can get into the equipment at-will.
The "malfunctioning" equipment was all allegedly from Cisco, Fortinet, and Juniper Networks.
According to the report, "more evidence indicating technical cooperation of manufacturing companies with the American Zionist enemy will soon be announced."
Iran is now disassembling and reverse-engineering the equipment to find out exactly what was involved in the equipment failure. They say that if they find proof that the manufacturers have incorporated "Back Doors" or other hardware/software-based government-intrusion features, they will reveal it to the world so the world can either disable these security threats, or replace the equipment with gear from manufacturers who are not compromised.
In the event ALL the manufacturers ARE compromised, Iran says they have the ability to domestically manufacture their own equipment which would prevent the US or other governments from gaining access.
They also say they would be inclined to sell such gear to the world, so as to protect people and other governments from the US or other Western Governments.
The report also pushes for the development of Iranian domestic equipment.
