Well, just after Israeli elections and the Gaza flare-up before that, this news should go over the Middle East like a match and gasoline.
It’s just a surveillance drone, but Iran is seeking to weaponize it.
Weaponize it with what?
This should make foreign governments even more leery about what nuclear enrichment Iran is doing at Natanz.
To me, a drone aircraft in the hands of a rogue state like Iran would be the perfect vehicle for a dirty bomb. There’s no way a drone can carry an actual nuclear weapon, but a conventional explosive spiked with radioactive material? Whole nother story.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
