U.S. Precision Strike Wipes Out Key Iranian Drone Factory
On March 12, 2026, U.S. forces delivered a decisive blow to Iran’s drone warfare capability, completely destroying the Esfahan Khomeynishahr Drone Production Plant. This facility built Shahed one-way attack drones that the Iranian regime has used to target sites across the region
Before-and-after satellite photos released by U.S. Central Command show the site intact on March 3 and reduced to rubble following precision-guided strikes.
The attack marks another major setback to Iran’s defense industry amid ongoing operations to dismantle its missile and drone production network.
