WANA (May 25) – Iranian forces successfully shot down a hostile drone over the strategic waters of the Persian Gulf during the past few hours, debuting a new defense system named “Arash Kamangir.”

 

The operation utilized a system equipped with stealth capabilities, which officials described as a firm and clear message from the Islamic Republic.

 

“This is a sign from us so that no radar-evading drone can ever penetrate the skies over the Persian Gulf again,” relevant authorities stated, emphasizing Iran’s absolute sovereignty over its airspace. Technical and operational details of the new system remain classified.

Simultaneously, maritime traffic through the vital Strait of Hormuz continues under precise scheduling.

 

Officials announced that all vessels that had previously received the necessary transit permits will complete their voyages—across both the inbound and outbound lanes of the international waterway—by the end of tonight. Authorities noted this process demonstrates efficient management and security at one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints.
