Examining Iranian Drone Strikes in Syria by Galen Wright.
Over the past two decades the number of states operating drones has exploded from just a handful to more than a third of all countries worldwide. Now, the list of countries not just operating armed drones, but using them in wartime, looks poised to make a similar jump.
Recent footage from Syria confirms that Iran can be added to this list, joining the US, UK, Israel, Pakistan, Iraq, and Nigeria.[1] The footage shows Iran’s Shahed-129 (S129) providing precision-strike support within the past three months for the ongoing offensives by pro-government forces around Aleppo, Syria.
This confirmation underscores both the proliferation of surveillance/strike capabilities beyond the exclusive domain of the West, and the degree to which the Assad government’s continued survival has come to depend on foreign military support.
According to official statements, the S129 has an endurance of 24 hours, an operational radius of 2000 km, and a ceiling of 25,000 feet (7,620 m). While these claims cannot be confirmed they are broadly consistent with other examples in the same class.

Iran has long complained that the global community, specially the western nations, do not contribute their role in the campaign against drugs, saying that Iran is making lone efforts to block the transit of narcotics from Afghanistan to Europe and the US. Meantime, the Iranian police officials maintain that drug production in Afghanistan has undergone a 40-fold increase since the US-led invasion of the country in 2001.

Gap Further Widening between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi over Yemen
TEHRAN (FNA)- The differences between Saudi Arabia and the UAE over Yemen have increased to such levels of severity that the Abu Dhabi government has announced that it will set up two Salafi brigades in Aden province, local sources announced.
“The city of Aden has been the scene of clashes between pro-UAE and pro-Saudi Arabia forces in recent days as the UAE announced that it will set up two brigades of extremist forces in the Southern Yemeni city,” provincial Yemeni military sources said.

Here is why the USA conferred NATO membership on Turkey. Is Saudi Arabia next, or was giving them a role in the UN enough graft to suit them and the USA?
