Iran’s army received 1,000 new drones on January 13, equipped with advanced stealth and anti-fortification capabilities, amid increasing tensions with Israel and the United States.

Iran's army received a delivery of 1,000 new drones, as reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency. The drones, which are equipped with advanced stealth and anti-fortification capabilities, were distributed to various locations across the country. The delivery comes at a time of increasing friction with Israel and the United States, especially under the incoming U.S. President, Donald Trump.

Major General Abdul Rahim Mousavi, commander of Iran's army, and Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh were photographed inspecting the drones at an undisclosed location. The move signals Iran's continued focus on strengthening its military capabilities in anticipation of potential escalations with Israel and further U.S. sanctions, particularly targeting its oil industry, under Trump's "maximum pressure" policy.
