😲 Another Form of Indirect Technology Transfer?
Iran's military on Friday is boasting that it has seized a pair of unmanned US vessels in the Red Sea at a moment tensions with Washington are at boiling point over arms transfers between Tehran and Moscow.
Iran's Navy Chief, Admiral Shahram Irani issued a statement describing that the sea drones posed safety issues to area maritime navigation, as quoted in semi-official Tasnim news agency. According to the Iranian navy statement, "Where maritime safety was threatened by the unjustified forces in the region, Iran's Army Naval Forces were able to seize 2 American unmanned vessels."
"The US should know it must comply with international laws if it is shipping somewhere," the admiral added. "The Islamic Republic of Iran, with its powerful presence in the region, will deal decisively with any move that endangers the security and safety of shipping, he stressed."
Little is as yet confirmed of the incident, which an initial statement from the US Navy calling the Iranian claims "not true". However, it appears something did happen, given other international monitors say they are tracking an incident unfolding.
According to Bloomberg, "The British Navy’s UKMTO said it is aware of reports of an incident in the vicinity of Ash Shihr, Yemen, according to a post on its website."
Both the US and Israel have of late stepped a joint naval presence in the Red Sea region, citing both threats from Iran and Yemeni Houthi rebels, which are backed by Tehran have at various times attacked Saudi Arabia.

👉 AP Diplomatic Writer Matt Lee asked Mr. Patel :
"Why this, all of a sudden, is now a big violation of 2231 when you didn't call it out as such before? There was nothing done in terms of action on the drones being used in Ethiopia, in Syria… No action on Ethiopia.”
But now, they call it out as 'a big violation of 2231' because these Iranian drones are being used in 'their beloved' Ukraine.
Iran sent Ethiopia armed drones in the summer of 2021 in violation of a standing UN Security Council resolution, the US State Department said on Tuesday.
By the way, Tehran got these drone technology 'inadvertently' from the US (remember the US drones 'lost' flying over Iranian airspace in 2011 & 2019?). In April 2012 (Re-election year of Barack Hussein Obama – and the drone + the billion dollars Obama & Biden given to Iran as a present ), Iran claimed it had copied technology ( reverse-engineering) from a US drone brought down in December 2011 on its eastern borders with Afghanistan and Pakistan.
