On February 20, 2019, Channel 5 (Iran) aired a report saying that the IRGC has infiltrated American command centers in Iraq and Syria and acquired intelligence from them. General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC's Aerospace Force, said that the IRGC hacked up to 10 American aircraft that flew over Iraq and Syria and monitored the intelligence that they gathered. He said that Iran passed information to the Iraqi PMU and other operatives in the region. He then showed a video that he claimed was a recording from an American reconnaissance flight over ISIS centers and said that the IRGC has thousands of hours of this type of footage.

Maybe. Maybe not.
This might be nothing more than a U.S. counter-intelligence operation to deceive the IRGC.
It is also suspicious that they're claiming this publicly. Any good intel outfit will keep their sources and methods private so as not to tip off the target of their vulnerability. It really is very considerate of the Iranians to tip us off to their hacking of all of our drones so we can fix the drones and shut the IRGC out of our drone system again.
