The Arash drone is reported to have a maximum flight range of 2,000 kilometers and a maximum warhead weight of 150 kilograms.
The Iranian military warned, "The threats from the President of the United States only serve to strengthen the resolve of the Iranian people and armed forces," adding, "Any attempt to open a new front would be a repetition of a strategic mistake."
