The Jan 30 attack on a Saudi frigate in the Red Sea was carried out by a Houthi remote control ‘drone boat,’ and not a suicide bomber as first reports claimed, according to a senior U.S. Navy official. What was originally reported as a suicide attack was revised following further analysis and assessment by the […]
Iran has banned privately-owned drones from flying over Tehran after at least two devices were shot at in recent weeks over security fears.

[…]
The Trump administration is reportedly considering using an executive order to officially recognize the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a complex military and political machine within Iran, as a ‘terrorist organization’, according to Reuters. This potential classification would almost certainly further complicate the already strained relations between the U.S. and Iran. Readers recognize the Iranian Revolutionary […]
