Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters accused the US military of copying Iran’s Shahed drones and using them in attacks on neighboring countries to frame Tehran and sow discord with Gulf states. The statement also denied Iranian responsibility for recent strikes affecting Turkey and Oman, while insisting Iran openly claims any attacks it actually carries out.

Iraq’s Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah released video showing an FPV drone striking the US Victory Base near Baghdad International Airport. The report presents the attack as a notable tactical development, suggesting the group may have used a first-person-view drone to evade US defenses for the first time.
