Because the drones are playing such a prominent role in the Ukraine war, especially with Russia assisted by Iran in this dimension, Ukraine has asked for Israel’s agreement to supply it with counter-d...

It has been almost 44 years since Shah Reza Pahlavi and his regime were toppled in Iran and the Islamic Republic was established - Time enough for two generations of disillusioned youth to grow up and protest against a corrupt, incompetent and cruel dictatorship.
