Iran Actively Exporting Drone Technology to Venezuela

Iran is actively exporting its drone technology to Venezuela, according to the country’s Deputy Minister of Science, Research and Technology, Mohammad Mehdinejad-Nouri. The announcement, made as part of a speech by Mehdinejad-Nouri given at Iran’s Babol Noshirvani University of Technology, comes in the wake of testimony by former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for the Western Hemisphere Affairs Roger Noriega, which outlined Tehran’s extensive efforts to infiltrate Latin America. Iran is known to use the region as staging ground for operations conducted by its Hezbollah terror proxy. An Israel Project analysis of Iran’s recent moves in South America can be found here.
