It's not yet known what has become of the birds.
Could pigeons really be used as spies on Iran?
Guess I wouldn't put it past intelligence gatherers, especially as they'd be nicely inconspicuous - that is, unless they're seen mysteriously wandering around an Iranian nuclear facility..

I suppose you have reliable sourses. I happen to know alot about spy---ing. We do not use birds. If you were told so you were informed wrong. There are many ways to gather info., not with birds.

I LOVE the opening sentence in this post…
“Security forces in Iran have ARRESTED two suspected ‘spy pigeons’”
Really? ARRESTED? Did they give them stripped jumpsuits? Where the pigeons required to take mug shot photos as well?
LOL

Maxwell Smart: "Agent 99, exactly where DID you
send those 2 pidgeons anyway ? Um, hold on a minute,99. Ah, yes chief, I... Uh, sorry about that chief, would you believe my shoe phone was in a dead zone at the time of our call in ? Didn't think so. Well chief, agent 99 and I suspected those 2 pidgeons were realy double agents working for C.H.A.O.S. so knowing how the Middle
Eastern people like their fowl shis ke bobbed, we aimed them in that direction. But chief !!! Agent 99, didn't I give you specific instructions to have their passports in order? Now that they're being detained they might talk !! Don't I know it chief-nobody likes a stool pidgeon !! But you know chief it could have been
worse? How? Well we could have sent the Iranians 2
parrot double agents. That realy would be a tough act to follow. - 3 years ago

They got pigeons in Iran? Isn't that against the Koran or something? Are they wearing veils? I bet one was a female and tried to eat a breadcrumb without its male counterpart in "back-hand" distance. Ok... enough with the jokes but really though, metal rings and string? People DO train birds with those type of things, unless you found a camera or an audio capturing device, it sounds like more "hate Americans" rhetoric to me. Here's an idea, if you want the world to "trust" and allow the great people of Iran to have nuclear material, how about not having a leader who threatens other countries by "vowing to wipe them off the map"

It was probably put there by the Dutch, as our government has admitted to have been spying on Iran.

If you caught a pigeon that lived at the nuke site, fitted it with a spy camera and then released it. It would return home to the nuke site and spy away. Genius. Who says our CIA is full of idiots??
