Iran Deploys 1,000 Drones as U.S. War Threats Intensify
Major General Amir Hatami, commander-in-chief of Iran's Army, supervised the integration of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), a news agency reported Thursday.
The drone fleet emerged from "emerging security challenges and operational lessons drawn from the recent 12-day war," the agency said. Army specialists developed the systems alongside Iran's Ministry of Defense.
Spanning multiple combat classifications—strike, offensive, reconnaissance and electronic warfare—the drones target designated fixed and mobile objectives across maritime, aerial and ground domains, according to Mehr.
Hatami emphasized that maintaining and enhancing strategic advantages "remains a standing priority for the Iranian army."
"Preparedness for rapid combat operations and decisive responses to any form of aggression continues to guide Iran's defense planning, in line with anticipated threats," he added.
Tehran-Washington relations have deteriorated sharply in recent weeks following US President Donald Trump's declaration that a "massive armada" was moving toward Iran, coupled with his demand that Tehran "come to the table" for negotiations.
Iranian officials have issued warnings that any US military action would trigger a "swift and comprehensive" response, while asserting Tehran remains willing to engage in dialogue exclusively under what it characterizes as "fair, balanced and noncoercive terms."
