Khaberni - Amid the unprecedented tensions between Iran and the United States, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats of a military option, Iranian Army Commander Amir Hatami ordered the reinforcement of the armed forces with a thousand strategic drones.
Hatami stated after issuing orders to integrate ground and maritime drones, "In light of future threats, maintaining and enhancing strategic advantages for rapid combat and overwhelming response to any invasion or aggressor remains a top priority for the army," according to the Tasnim news agency.

Meanwhile, informed Iranian sources indicated that the new drones are suited for modern threats and include categories of destruction, attack, and electronic warfare.
These new drones also feature a modern design for attacking specific static and moving targets at sea, in the air, and on land.
However, the Tasnim agency did not publish pictures of these drones.
This came after multiple sources confirmed that the U.S. President is considering options against Iran that include targeted strikes on security forces and several leaders.
It was also revealed by two informed American sources that Trump wants to create conditions for "changing the Iranian regime," according to Reuters. The sources explained that Trump is considering options for targeting officials and institutions who, according to Washington, are responsible for violence against protesters, to give the protesters confidence in their ability to storm government and security buildings.
The options being discussed by Trump's aides also include a major strike aimed at having a lasting impact, possibly against ballistic missiles capable of targeting U.S. allies in the Middle East, or uranium enrichment programs.
Conversely, Iranian officials have repeatedly warned in recent days that any attack on their country would prompt a "decisive, strong, and unprecedented response."
