How did the US identify its latest targets in Iran? Former CIA officer explains

How does the US identify military targets in Iran?

Following the latest US strikes, US Central Command said air defence sites, radar systems, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications sites were targeted.

Al Jazeera English speaks to Scott Uehlinger, a US Navy veteran and former senior CIA officer, about how satellite imagery, signals intelligence and human intelligence can be used to identify potential military targets.

Uehlinger also discusses the potential role of Gulf states and Israel in providing intelligence, the risks faced by human sources inside Iran, and what US President Donald Trump’s warning of a further major attack could mean.
