US, Israel access to city cameras ‘unlikely,’ Tehran city council says

It is unlikely that the US and Israel could access Tehran’s traffic and surveillance cameras unless from the state TV, the head of the Tehran city council said on Tuesday.

Mehdi Chamran said the cameras were tested before being put into use and that even cameras installed in municipal buildings are checked to ensure that nothing can be transmitted externally.

“When much of the camera footage is broadcast on television, it is naturally possible for them to view that footage as well,” he said, adding that it was clear where footage is transmitted and that the process is monitored.
