U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin has issued a stark warning about the growing threat posed by cheap drones in modern warfare. Slotkin said inexpensive Iranian Shahed drone systems are changing the battlefield and exposing weaknesses in U.S. defenses designed to intercept much larger threats. She also pointed to reports that multiple MQ-9 Reaper drones were downed in a short period, raising concerns about how adversaries could “bleed” the U.S. with low-cost technology. Slotkin warned that America must adapt quickly as drone warfare evolves and spreads across conflicts worldwide.

Russia’s Lavrov Lambasts Trump Over Iran War, Makes Shocking 'Uranium Reveal'

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has delivered a sharp rebuke to the United States and Israel over their strikes on Iran, saying they likely now realise “how wrong they were” if they believed the country could be defeated quickly. Speaking after talks in Moscow, Lavrov accused United States of pursuing strategic resources rather than genuine negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme. He also reiterated that Russia supports an immediate ceasefire and is ready to mediate if requested. The remarks come as the conflict involving Iran, Israel and regional groups continues to escalate, raising fears of a wider Middle East war.#Russia #Iran #Israel #Lavrov #Trump #MiddleEastConflict #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #WorldNews #WarUpdate
