Iranian drones powered by American technology are killing Ukrainian civilians. Buried in the 19th paragraph of a New York Times report on the Biden administration’s efforts to stop Iran from providing stealth drones to the Russians is, well, news you can use.
The Iranian drones now killing Ukrainians, "unmanned ‘kamikaze’ aircraft," were developed with tech learned from a captured American drone.
The model was used to surveil Osama bin Laden’s Pakistani compound, and the technology that powered it had been a highly guarded intelligence secret until a decade ago.
That’s a U.S. drone malfunctioned, crash landing in the Iranian desert.
President Barack Obama, dreaming of JCPOA, faced a choice: Forfeit some of our most secret national security technology to our enemy or fight back.
Per the Times, Obama "briefly considered sending in a Navy SEAL team to blow it up before it fell into the hands of Iranian engineers," but "decided not to take the risk."
