They do know if we wanted to that drone would have been shot down a LOT sooner right?
Or are they to stupid to realize we let them?
They are playing with fire.

Guys, look at the planes on the deck, then compared to current airwings; the image is an old pic from years ago that the Iranians are claiming came from their drone for propaganda purposes.

Internet experts tell me it's from 2016 by looking at the dating on the video. Brave, cunning, independent intelligence officials have outwitted the Iranian State yet again! Just like a Hollywood movie.

Forty three member nations have helped elect the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Commission on the Status of Women. Among the forty three nations include apparently at least four EU/Western countries.

I believe that the Islamic Republic, while considering the state of womanhood in western civilizations, will make the right decisions in how to treat women.

Iran, despite having elections, is a dictatorship/theocracy in most aspects. I'm not sure if the idea of deep state is applicable to such a country. The institutions are likely to be aligned with the Supreme Leader's will.
I consider the possibility there if more power is given to a body like the IRGC.

I think it's very likely, yes. It's been a while but I remember reading that the regular Iranian army is treated with suspicion by the Iranian leadership because they fear a coup, that's why the IRGC get a LOT of preferential treatment, they are more indoctrinated into the state ideology and are considered more trustworthy, almost like they're an arm of the political party (or religion) rather than the state.

Essentially, not unlike Hitlers Schutzstaffel or Hussein’s Republican Guards in most respects.

That's going to get awkward when the United States attacks Iran; or at least it would be, if anyone was actually willing to hold the United Nations to account for anything they do.
