Tehran calls on UN atomic agency 'not to give in to Israeli pressure' on monitoring nuclear activities
Iran announced Monday that it has developed a sophisticated long-range "suicide drone" that is "designed to strike Tel Aviv and Haifa in Israel."
According to the head of Iran's ground forces, Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari, the drone, named Arash-2, is a newer version of the Arash-1, the semi-official Mehr News reported.
Tehran also said it was ready on Monday to continue its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), through the voice of Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani.
He called on the agency "not to give in to Israeli pressure" on Tehran's nuclear activities.
The Board of Governors of the IAEA is meeting on Monday, three months after passing a resolution urging Iran to provide credible responses to the agency's investigations into traces of uranium at three unidentified sites.
