Iran unveils new military drone, warns in Hebrew ‘prepare your shelters’

Iran has released a video of what it claims to be designed to kill civilians of its enemy: Israel. The Islamic Republic’s President, Ebrahim Raisi stated the regime can “firmly introduce Iran as an advanced and technologic nation to the world” as he reportedly admired the drone.

Foreign Desk News reports the Islamic Republic’s media outlets claimed the drone can fly up to 24,000 feet with a speed of 210 kph carrying a bomb payload of up to 300 kilograms. The drone can also allegedly hold electronic surveillance equipment and a camera.

The only saving grace may be that “Iran has a history of boasting about new technologies, including drones, that don’t live up to the hype they proclaim,” explained Matthew RJ Brodsky, senior fellow at the Gold Institute for International Strategy.

“This should be alarming, coming on the heels of their previous recent announcement about having hypersonic missile capabilities. That said, this upgraded drone itself is not a game-changer,” Brodsky explained.

According to Brodsky the regime in Tehran “hopes to cash in with sales to Russia and other bad actors, aside from threatening the Persian Gulf and Israel.”

Foreign Desk News adds:

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year, US officials have found that the Islamic Republic has supplied Moscow with military drones to assist the Kremlin in its military campaign. In one instance, Western officials found a single Iranian drone contained parts made by more than a dozen American and Western companies.

In addition to Iran attempting to copy American military drones, China has also engaged in similar actions, capturing equipment and creating new variants for its military forces.

President-Elect Trump to Hamas: ‘Release Hostages Now’ or there will be ‘Hell to Pay’

Following the release of a Hamas propaganda video with footage of Israeli-American soldier Edan Alexander, 20, alive after over 420 days in captivity, as well as the IDF having confirmed the death of American-Israeli Captain Omer Neutra who was abducted during the October 7th attack, Trump is not mincing words.

United States President-elect Donald Trump declared Monday that there will be “hell to pay” if the hostages held by Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists in Gaza are not freed before his inauguration on January 20. The message marked the first time since November’s election that the former chief executive commented on the situation facing captured Israeli citizens in the coastal enclave, reports Foreign Desk News.

Writing on his Truth Social account, the former president warned the captors, “Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity. Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”

During the October 7, 2023, massacre in southern Israel, the invaders kidnapped 251 individuals after killing almost 1,200 civilians and responding security forces.

Following negotiations and rescue operations led by the Israeli military over the past year, authorities in Jerusalem estimate about 60 of the 95 remaining abductees are still alive, adds FDN.
