Iran has showcased its latest drone technology in a dramatic display of military power, unveiling what it describes as a 'game-changing' next-generation Arash attack drone. The upgraded Arash-2, a one-way kamikaze drone, was publicly paraded at Enghelab Square in Tehran during anti-U.S. and anti-Israel gatherings, raising fresh alarm across the region.

Visuals from the event show the drones mounted on trucks, moving through large crowds waving Iranian flags as chants echoed through the capital. The unveiling signals a potential escalation in Iran's drone capabilities, adding to growing concerns over long-range, precision strike systems in an already volatile geopolitical landscape.
