While Iran pretends to want peace peace, it continues to prepares for war war. While the administration was negotiating a deal regarding Iran's nuclear weapons, Iran was developing new war technology. Iranian news sources indicate that since 2014, Iran has been developing combat suicide drones. This technology uses drones as suicide weapons to destroy jet aircraft, helicopters, and even warships. The drone development includes drones that elude radar, have tracking devices, and fly for hours with a long range. The Iranian Supreme Leader even stated while the nuclear weapon negotiations were taking place that he wants to destroy the United States. Suicide drones are yet one more example that Iran is determined to have military dominance in the Middle East. Iran wants to annihilate Israel and the United States. The United States should not be disillusioned by the Iranian ruse claiming it wants peace. The best hope for the world is for the people of Iran to rid themselves of the warlord mullahs and replace them with a rational, nonaggressive government. And that is just the way it is. ____________________
