DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has conducted a drill that saw “suicide drones” crash into targets and explode. The triangle-shaped aircraft strongly resembled those used in a 2019 attack in Saudi Arabia that temporarily cut the kingdom’s oil production by half. Iran has long denied launching the attack on Abqaiq and Khurais while Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels initially claimed the assault. However, the U.S., Saudi Arabia and U.N. experts believe the drones were Iranian. Their appearance in Friday’s drill comes as Iran tries to pressure President-elect Joe Biden over the nuclear accord, which he’s said America could re-enter.
