American activist Calla Walsh, co-founder of Unity of Fields, traveled to Tehran as a guest of Iran’s Sobh International Media Festival, where she openly praised the regime’s missile and drone arsenal and defended its crackdown on protesters.
In videos posted by Iranian outlets, Walsh described it as “incredibly powerful” to stand among missiles and drones she claimed are resisting “US imperialism and Zionism,” and asserted that the US military is attempting to copy Iran’s drone technology because of its battlefield effectiveness.
