Waldman further stated that drone industries are “turning the Islamic Republic of Iran into an actor with distant ideals.”

Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said that Iran is not responsible for copying Iranian drones by other countries.

Despite this, Matthew McLennis, a former senior intelligence officer at the US Department of Defense, who was in charge of consulting with European teams with Iran after Trump withdrew from the JCPOA, told Bloomberg: “But after the assassination of the Iranian general , Qassem Soleimani in a drone attack in January 2020, it was unlikely that Iran and Russia would agree to impose further restrictions on Iran’s weapons programs. Iran ended in October, and just a few weeks later, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps unveiled its most advanced weapons and drones. These weapons included the Shahid 139 drone, Shahid 129 and Shahid 147 drones.
Waldman continued to write: “Sanctions are the mother of invention and [also mother] Avoid them. Due to existing bans on the purchase of Western technologies with possible military applications, Iran has relied on electronic components that can be procured from Asian markets or imported from America and Europe through a network of virtual companies.”
He stated that the origin of Iran’s drone industry can be considered as the story of “innovate or die”. Iran has been under the sanctions of the United States of America since the attack on the American embassy in 1979, and for them, “self-reliance is a way to survive.”
