**Dubai, January 14, 2025** – Iran’s military received a significant boost on Monday with the delivery of 1,000 domestically-built drones, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency. The deployment comes amidst rising tensions with Israel and the United States, as Donald Trump prepares to assume the U.S. presidency.
The new drones, delivered to various locations across Iran, boast advanced capabilities including a range exceeding 2,000 kilometers, high destructive power, low radar detectability, and autonomous flight. Tasnim highlighted the drones’ enhanced reconnaissance, border surveillance, and offensive capabilities against distant targets.
This delivery follows recent large-scale Iranian military exercises, simulating defense of nuclear facilities against drone and missile attacks. The exercises and drone deployment underscore Iran’s commitment to strengthening its military posture in the face of potential external threats.
