Iran reject US request to return captured drone

[ex-muslim Ahmed]

Iran has rejected a US call for the return of an American spy drone captured by Iran's military.
The aircraft was now "property" of Iran and it was up to Iran to decide what to do with it, defence minister Ahmad Vahidi said.
Tehran captured the RQ-170 Sentinel earlier this month in eastern Iran. Mr Vahidi said the US should apologise for invading Iranian air space.
Tehran says it brought the drone down, but the US insists it malfunctioned.
"The American espionage drone is now Iran's property, and our country will decide what steps to take regarding it," Mr Vahidi was quoted as saying by Isna news agency, following a call for the aircraft's return by US President Barack Obama.
"Instead of apologising to the Iranian nation, it [the US] is brazenly asking for the drone back," he added, according to another semi-official news agency, Mehr.
On Monday Iranian state TV reported that military experts were in the final stages of recovering data from the drone.
A member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, Parviz Sorouri, said the information they extracted would be used to "file a lawsuit against the United States over the invasion".

An American surveillance drone has been captured and filmed in Iran, where experts are apparently examining it. But how much valuable information are they likely to glean?
Pictures broadcast by Iranian television of the stealth RQ-170 Sentinel will have made grim viewing in Washington.
Iran has rejected US calls for its return, and state television says military experts were in the final stages of recovering data.
So how easy is it to extract information from a drone?
It all depends what state the aircraft was in when they recovered it, says Nick Brown, editor-in-chief of Jane's International Defence Review.
"It could have crashed and come apart. The version seen on the video clips could be a reconstruction. But if the aircraft is relatively intact, you could take a fair bit from it."
One thing the Iranians might be doing is testing it with radar in an anechoic chamber, he says, to find its "radar cross-section", which is a measure of how detectable it is. They could also learn from some of the more exotic radar-defeating shaping and materials.
