Iran Alleges US and Israel Use Fake Shahed Drones in Regional Attacks

Iran's military and officials, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, have accused the United States and Israel of using imitation versions of Iran's Shahed-136 drone, called "LUCAS," to carry out attacks on civilian targets in neighboring Arab countries. Tehran denies involvement in strikes on non-military sites, asserting its operations target only US and Israeli interests. Iran has called for regional cooperation to investigate these attacks, while Gulf states report ongoing missile and drone threats amid rising tensions.
