Iran attacked Iraq in September

A drone was shot down by a US warplane as it was heading towards the city of Erbil, where the US military base is located.

Last month, the commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned Saudi Arabia to curb TV coverage of the protests.

...then big action can be taken against Iran!

Let us tell you that Iran has given hundreds of drones and technical assistance to Russia during the ongoing war against Ukraine. US President Joe Biden has also condemned it. The National Security Council said in a statement that we are concerned about this potential threat. We are in constant contact with Saudi through military and intelligence channels.

In recent weeks, the Biden administration has imposed sanctions on Iranian officials for their brutal treatment of protesters following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September while in the custody of Iranian security forces. The US has also warned Iran of supplying drones to Russia for use in its war in Ukraine. According to a group of human rights activists in Iran, 270 people have been killed and 14,000 arrested during the protests. Despite this, however, the performance continues.
