A senior Iranian military official has announced a massive increase in the country's production of suicide drones. Brigadier General Sheikh, the Army Executive Deputy, stated that the production rate in the seven months following the recent twelve-day war was ten times higher than the period before it. He also claimed that all operational plans for the "third imposed war" were written by the late Lieutenant General Mousavi seven months in advance and communicated to all forces. The general warned that if an enemy conducts another operation, the Islamic Republic is prepared to confront it with measures already taken.
