The presence of U.S. spy drones over Iranian airspace has been an issue of contention and diplomatic tensions in recent years. Iran claimed last year to have brought down a U.S. drone, which violated its airspace -- claims U.S. officials have rejected.

Now, according to a report from Fars -- Iran's state news service -- high school curricula will include lessons on how to hack and even bring down foreign drones. The report gave little sense that Iran's schools had the capability or technological know-how to import such lessons into the school day, but the intention gives a clear sense of Iranian officials' attitude to prying drones.
