Iran's Mohajer-6 drones stationed at Venezuela's air base escalate military ties.
Recent imagery confirms the deployment of Iran’s Mohajer-6 armed drones at Venezuela’s El Libertador Air Base, marking a notable escalation in military cooperation between Tehran and Caracas. The U.S. Treasury Department has sanctioned a Venezuelan firm for its role in the assembly and maintenance of these drones, which enhance Venezuela’s asymmetric warfare capabilities amid increasing U.S. sanctions and regional tensions. This development raises concerns over security dynamics in the Western Hemisphere, highlighting the need for vigilance regarding Iranian technology transfers. The proliferation of such military assets could significantly impact border security and coastal defenses, underscoring the broader implications for global stability and national interests in the region.
