Iran Has Drones With Range of 7,000 km

Iran has drones with a range of 7,000 km (4,375 miles), the top commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps said on Sunday.
The announcement comes as Iran and major powers are in talks to revive a 2015 nuclear deal that former US president Donald Trump exited three years ago and reimposed sanctions.
Drones are a key element in Tehran’s border surveillance, especially the Persian Gulf waters around the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil supply flows.
Iran and regional forces it backs have increasingly relied on drones in Yemen, Syria, Iraq in recent years.
“We have unmanned aerial vehicles [drones] with long range of 7,000 kilometers. They can fly, return home, and make landing wherever they are planned to,” Major General Hossein Salami was quoted as saying by IRNA.
US President Joe Biden is seeking to revive and eventually broaden the nuclear pact to put greater limits on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, as well as constraining its activities.
Tehran has ruled out negotiations over ballistic missiles and its role in the Middle East.
