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. The Islamic Republic is likely sharing its advance ballistic and cruise missiles as well. Luke Coffey, Can Kasapoğlu, and Michael Doran discuss the dangers of the proliferation of Iranian military technology in the Middle East and Europe, and its implications for American policy.
