Here is one possible theory:

* majority of technology in US is outsourced to China / India

* China is a good friend of Iran and India has a very close relationship

* some info about technology might be passed to Iran

And joke is: when they open the drone, they will see "made in China" sign somewhere.

Not sure why you are being downvoted, there are many worries about exactly this, compromise of components used in the US military, when imported from foreign countries.

Also, it seems highly likely that most US secrets including drone control systems are likely to have been compromised by hackers.

Despite all the conspiracy theories you read from news sites, black programs do not outsource to other countries.
