[Video] Iranian Government Uses Drones to Monitor Protests in Tehran

Video: Footage shows what appears to be an IRGC-operated drone circling above anti-government protesters in Tehran neighborhoods such as Pounak and Ferdows Boulevard West. This incident occurs amid nationwide economic protests now in their second week, with authorities enforcing a near-total internet blackout and reports of dozens killed in the crackdown. Strict Iranian drone regulations limit civilian use, suggesting state involvement by the Quds Force or Ministry of Defense-authorized entities for monitoring crowds.
