Have the Iranians managed to decode data from the US drone they got in late 2011?

Iranian TV showed this clip with footage from US bases that they claim was stored aboard that drone from the incident back then, when the captured that US drone.

If that is true, it shows that any mechanisms to protect sensible technology and data in case of an emergency by deleting/destroying it, has failed. It also has given the Iranians close range visual data of US bases - Kandahar amongst them - where the drone apparently was operating from.

Is this another monkey in space and another superior stealth fighter, or is it real this time? The article refers to Western experts saying that it would be extremely difficult to forge material as being seen on the clip. If it is real, the remaining question is if it is material taken from that drone, or material the Iranians got their hands on by use of another source.
