— 🇮🇷 Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, on the occasion of ‘Persian Gulf Day’:

‘The Persian Gulf is one of the unparalleled blessings of Allah Almighty for the Muslim nations of our blessed region, especially for the noble people of Islamic Iran.

Beyond a body of water that has shaped part of our identity and civilization, it is a vital and unique waterway for the entire global economy.

This strategic asset has aroused the greed of many ‘demons’ in past centuries, and it has a history of repeated aggression by European and American foreigners.’

‘The Iranian nation, which has the largest coastline in the Persian Gulf, has by far offered the most sacrifices for the independence of the Persian Gulf from foreigners and aggressors.

From the expulsion of the Portuguese and the liberation of the Strait of Hormuz, which is the basis for naming today as ‘Persian Gulf Day’, to the struggle against Dutch colonialism and the epics of resistance against British colonialism, and more.

However, the Islamic Revolution in Iran was the true turning point of this resistance in cutting off the hands of the foreign powers from the Persian Gulf region, and today, two months after the largest military campaign and the aggression of the world's bullies in the region and the shameful failure of America’s plans, a new chapter is being written in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

The nations of the Persian Gulf, who for many years had been accustomed to silence and humiliation by their rulers in the face of bullies and aggressors, have witnessed with their own eyes, in the past sixty days, the epic manifestations of the steadfastness, vigilance, and courageous struggle of the Navy and the IRGC Navy, along with the zeal and chivalry of the people and youths from our beloved southern regions of Iran in rejecting the domination schemes of foreigners. It has been realized that it will be the beginning of a new order in the region and the world.

Today, by the grace of God Almighty and by the blessing of the blood of the martyrs of the Third Imposed War, especially the great and far-sighted leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Khamenei), it has been proven not only among the public opinion of the world and the nations of the region, but even to the sultans and rulers of these countries that the presence of American intruders and their nesting in the lands of the Persian Gulf is the decisive factor causing insecurity in the region, and that America's puppet bases do not have the strength nor ability to ensure their own security, let alone that there is any hope that America will provide security for its host nations and the America-lovers in the region.’

‘By God's grace and power, the bright future of the Persian Gulf will be a future without America and in the service of progress, comfort and prosperity of the region’s nations.

We share the same fate with our neighbors in the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of ​​Oman, and those foreigners who greedily commit evil deeds from thousands of kilometers away have no place in the Persian Gulf except at the bottom of its waters.’

‘Today, the miraculous awakening of the Iranian nation is not limited to the tens of millions of lives who are willing to sacrifice themselves in the fight against Zionism and America as part of the united ranks of the Islamic Ummah.

More than 90 million zealous and noble Iranians inside and outside the country have considered all spiritual, human, scientific, industrial, basic and advanced technologies of nanobiota, nuclear, and missile technology as their national rights and will guard them just like they guard our land, air, and sea.’

‘With gratitude for the blessing of exercising management over the Strait of Hormuz, Islamic Iran will secure the Persian Gulf region and will eliminate the abuses facing this waterway by the hostile enemy.

The legal rules and practices of the new management of the Strait of Hormuz will bring comfort and progress to the benefit of all nations of the region, and its economic benefits will make the hearts of the nation happy. {By the grace of God, but to the dismay of disbelievers}’.

— Hezbollah is massively increasing the use of FPV drones, with what seems to be a high success rate.

As of now, no Israeli solution exists to ‘solve’ this problem.

With Hezbollah realizing how easy and cost-effective these drones are, it’s likely we will see them be used even more and with better experience.
