JAKARTA - Senior Iranian military officials said their forces were ready to provide a devastating response, as the country received new drones amid the developments in the region.
Iran's military received 1,000 drones for various army tasks, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Thursday, amid rising tensions, with US President Donald Trump warning of an attack if Tehran rejected a nuclear deal.
"In accordance with the existing threats, the army maintains and improves its strategic superiority for quick battles and provides a devastating response to any aggressor," said Iranian Military Commander Major General Amir Hatami, as reported by Al Arabiya and Reuters (29/1).
The report said the new additions are expected to improve the operational capabilities of the army's four branches.
It added that the drone was developed by army specialists in cooperation with the defense ministry, "based on emerging threats and lessons learned from the 12-day war that took place in June 2025."
"UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) have been designed in the categories of destructive, offensive, reconnaissance, and electronic warfare, with the ability to target specific fixed and moving targets in land, sea, and air areas," he explained.
Since Iran launched a crackdown on the protests accompanied by an internet blackout, US President Donald Trump has given mixed signals about the possibility of intervention. The situation in the regime remains tense.
Washington joined Israel in a 12-day war in June aimed at weakening Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
