> Russia has offered to provide Iran with unjammable drones and training on how to use them against American troops in the Gulf and perhaps elsewhere.
Yes, that's what allies do. Everybody could see that coming.

So fiber optic drones? Doesn't Iran already have these? Hezbolah has been using them against Israel lately

I mean, drones are a numbers game. Having a few dozen vs thousands.

That’s a bit far for fiber. I would guess advanced AI drones.

Now would probably be a good time for some plucky journalist to ask Trump four questions:
1. Is he sure that Putin is his friend?
2. Wouldn't his efforts at foreign policy be so much easier if Russia was contained along its southern border?
3. How likely is it that a Ukrainian victory would inspire other countries (eg Kazakhstan) to defy Moscow more?
4. How much money (expressed in ballrooms) would it take to help to get Ukraine gaining ground against Russia again?

Ukraine just got cash infusion from Europe. It's running out of men, not other nations' money. If the US wants to bail Ukraine, it'll have to make the same hard choice as required wrt Iran - put boots on the ground. The one thing even Trump is unwilling to do, even for his own war.

All Good questions for the EU. US is busy taking advantage of a weakened russian influence around the world. Moving on Iran weakened China and Russia. As did Venezuela and panama.

Their drones come from copying a USA lockheed model they hacked and forced to land. They then supplied Russia with the info

The Russians and Chinese moved in to help them build nuclear reactors that had been started by the west and build their enrichment capabilities. When they kicked out the US installed govt in favor of the theocracy. Russia got a German nuclear plant to reverse engineer. Interesting read
