Iran unveils new 'biggest' drone
Iran says it has developed a drone with a range of 2,000km (1,200 miles), which would enable it to cover much of the Middle East, including Israel.
The Islamic Republic's Defence Minister said the unmanned aircraft could carry out reconnaissance missions or launch missile strikes.
Hossein Dehghan said sanctions imposed by "enemies" would not stop progress.
Iran's claims of developments in defence technologies cannot be independently verified.
