[From article]
Although the court document only refers to outgoing calls, sources familiar with the program say it also collected data on incoming calls.
However, the program did not monitor the content of the conversations. The document did not identify the countries called or say how many countries were involved, but did mention Iran as one of the countries reached.
The program operated from 1990 until 2013, sources told The Journal, and the Justice Department said the database was deleted and has not been searched since 2013.
