Russia Is Attacking Ukraine with Iranian Drones. What Does This Mean for the U.S. and the Middle East?

The Islamic Republic’s best weapons are spreading far and wide.

In 2019, Iranian agents and proxies in Yemen launched a sophisticated attack on Saudi oil facilities using so-called kamikaze drones (known to experts as “loitering munitions”). And just last Friday, the Israeli air force reportedly destroyed an Iranian factory in Syria for producing these weapons. Tehran has also supplied its Russian allies with its drones, which have been used to deadly effect in the recent weeks.

(Moderated by Peter Rough. Video, 48 minutes.)
