American experts on strategic affairs, Lee and Lin King published an analysis in the “Boston Herald” warning that Iran is currently deploying drones in North Africa that could pose a direct threat to Morocco and the region.
Boston Herland reported that Iranian engineers have built generations of advanced drones and have benefited from captured American aircraft.
The American expert said that Morocco remains and has expressed real concerns about these planes, which can inflict severe damage on a variety of targets, tourist centers, military installations, vital energy networks, and power plants.
The Senior Vice President of the American Foreign Policy Council, Ilan Berman emphasized in the analysis the importance of adequate defenses against drone attacks, stressing that this is what is lacking.
According to Berman, the only effective defense system against drones is Israel’s Iron Dome, which the US helped fund, and which catches low-flying projectiles up to 2.5 miles from an interceptor.
Berman suggested that there is a possibility that Israel could sell the Iron Dome system to Morocco but after years of negotiation and sales subject to the American veto.
Moroccan fears lie in Iran extending weapons to the separatist “Polisario” front rebels and training its members to wage field battles with the complicity of Algeria.
