Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says any US claim to having removed Iran’s sanctions must be verified by Tehran and this means that the Islamic Republic should be able to sell its oil under normal conditions and receive its money.
The Leader’s remarks came in a post on his Instagram page on Thursday as an Iranian negotiating team is in the Austrian capital city of Vienna to discuss conditions for the revival of the landmark 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with other signatories to the deal.
Can Iran Dominate Middle-East Airspace With Indigenous Version Of MQ-9 Reaper Drones?

Has Iran launched its own version of the US’ MQ-9 Reaper drone? The Middle-Eastern nation has unveiled its new Kaman-22 drone, which is said to be based on American drones such as the MQ-1 Predator and the ‘most lethal’ MQ-9 Reaper.
The latest drone comes four years after Iran purportedly captured a Predator UAV belonging to the US military. The drone was reportedly captured by the Iranian forces, who claimed it was a US Army MQ-1C Gray Eagle UAV. However, later it was revealed it was not Grey Eagle and was something else.
The Drive explained that the weapons mounted beneath Kaman-22 s wings are four Sadid guided bombs and two Balaban glide bombs. There also looks to be an electro-optical sensor turret on the UAV.
It has to be said that the Kaman-22 doesn t hugely resemble its Kaman-12 predecessor, and has a closer resemblance to the U.S. Predator MQ-1 and Reaper MQ-9; but at this stage, we ll have to hold tight until more information is officially shared.
