ISRAEL UNDER HEAVY FIRE: Hezbollah Rockets Hit Deep; Netanyahu, IDF Chief Rush To Emergency Talks

Is Iran preparing for a new phase of drone warfare against the United States? Iranian media reports claim that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has successfully tested an advanced non-kinetic counter-drone system capable of intercepting and disrupting multiple UAVs without using explosives. According to the reports, the reusable interceptor can remain airborne, engage hostile drones, and return for future missions, potentially offering a cost-effective defense against large drone swarms. The development has renewed attention on Iran's long-standing efforts to study and reverse-engineer foreign drone technology. In 2011, Iran claimed it brought down a U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone, and Iranian officials later announced plans to build domestic versions based on the captured aircraft.
