Wednesday, 1 December 2021 (YJC)_ A group of members of the US House of Representatives have introduced a cross-party plan aimed at countering Iran's drone capability.

US lawmakers have unveiled a plan to counter Iran's drone capabilityA group of both Republicans and Democrats in the US House of Representatives have proposed a plan called "Stop Iranian Drones," which seeks to counter Iran's drone capabilities.

Michael McCowell, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and several of his colleagues have introduced the plan, claiming that sanctions against Iran under the Katsa Act also include the supply, sale or transfer of UAVs.

The plan claims that the US goal is to prevent Iran or its allied groups from getting drones that could harm the United States or its allies.

Iran's drone capability has been a concern for US officials in recent months. Kenneth Frank McKenzie, the head of the terrorist organization of the US Central Command, known as Centcom, warned in May that the activity of Iranian drones had caused the United States to lose its air superiority.

In a written report to the House Armed Services Committee, McKenzie said:
Iran's widespread use of small and medium-sized drones for reconnaissance and attack has enabled us to operate without complete air superiority for the first time since the Korean War.

According to the Bloomberg website, he warned about Iran's drone power, explaining:
Unless we can build and deploy a network capability to detect and defeat unmanned aerial systems, it will be superior to the attacker.

The commander of US terrorist forces in West Asia has warned that US military superiority in the Middle East is declining, claiming that Iran is a daily threat to its troops and allies in the region.
