America 'kneeled' before Shahed drones? IRGC laughs at Trump's desperation as US copies Iranian tech

Iran is openly mocking the United States for fielding cheap, one‑way attack drones that it claims resemble Tehran’s own Shahed‑136 “kamikaze” UAVs, calling Washington’s reported reverse‑engineering efforts proof that “self‑proclaimed technological superpowers kneel before the Iranian drone and clone it.” Iranian IRGC Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi framed this as validation of Iran’s drone prowess, saying America’s need to copy Shahed‑style designs shows how far Iranian unmanned systems have come compared to expensive Western weapons that have struggled against Houthis and other Iran‑aligned groups.
