Iran announces the deployment of 1,000 new multi‑role military drones across all branches of its armed forces, dramatically expanding its strike, reconnaissance, and electronic‑warfare capabilities as tensions with the United States and Israel grow. Tehran warns that any U.S. attack would trigger an “immediate and decisive” response, stressing that American bases and aircraft carriers are within range of its missiles and increasingly integrated drone and submarine forces, even as Washington rushes additional naval armadas into the region amid concerns it currently lacks sufficient firepower for a full‑scale conflict.
