Though IRan appears to have a limited amount of Ballistic Missiles the Shahed drones are doing a lot of damage everywhere they are sent

 This technology was stolen about 10 years ago now or more by tricking an American Predator drone into thinking it was somewhere else than it actually was by altering it's gps awareness. Then the Iranians reverse engineered the Predator drone and created things like the Shahed Drone which is now causing a lot of havoc throughout the middle east. Why?

Something like the Shahed Drone can fly beneath radar and fly at altitudes of 10 to 100 feet narrowly avoiding buildings and power lines and trees to hit a target. They are even using wooden propellers to save money when they build these things which makes them cheaper to build also. So, they must have set up a mass producing area for the building of these Shahed Drones. Also, they are battle proven in Ukraine as Russia has been buying these from Iran a lot and blowing up stuff and people in Ukraine for a long time now. The hope is that all manufacturing of these drones in Iran can be stopped because these drones (at least for right now) are really problematic for all middle eastern Countries and areas including Turkey where they are sending ballistic missiles into as well. However, all missiles sent into Turkey have been shot down for now.

Iran seems to be striking ALL countries in the middle east in a fit of suicidal rage because this will only cause all these countries to attack Iran possibly in the future in addition to Israel and the U.S. and some NATO countries like France. France has send the following military ships into closer proximity to Iran now:

As of early March 2026, French President Emmanuel Macron has ordered the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier
Charles de Gaulle and its strike group, including escorting frigates, to the Mediterranean Sea to protect regional allies and secure maritime traffic amid the expanding Iran-related conflict in the Middle East. Additionally, the frigate Languedoc has been deployed to the coast of Cyprus.
  • Charles de Gaulle: As the flagship of the French Navy, this carrier provides air defense capabilities with Rafale M fighter jets. It is designed for force projection and protection of regional assets.
  • Mission Goals: The deployment aims to protect European interests, provide security in the Mediterranean following threats to the Red Sea and Suez Canal, and show solidarity with Gulf allies such as Qatar, Kuwait, and the UAE.
  • Strategic Context: The move comes as part of a wider response to the conflict involving Iran, which has threatened international shipping lanes and attacked regional bases.
