Trump should send camera drones over Iran
At N.E.R. ^ | Jan 12, 2026 | Eve

As Protesters Are Slaugtered On Iranian Streets By Islamofascism… Thus, Even Before And Regardless Of A Military Strike

Trump should send camera drones over Iran so the world can see what the mullahs are really doing to their people. For decades, the regime has controlled the narrative by suppressing journalists, silencing dissidents, and hiding its abuses behind closed borders. Independent aerial footage would strip away the propaganda and expose the reality of repression, corruption, and brutality. Transparency is a threat to authoritarian power, and letting the world witness these crimes could increase international pressure and give a voice to the Iranian people who have been denied one.

They don’t need to send drones. They have satellites that can read the print on a book someone is reading a couple hundred miles below them.

And when they shoot them down, then what?

We know from past experience that the Iranians are pretty adept at shooting our drones down.

But to expose them to the world, which they seek to hide.

You can’t rely on [Islamism apologetic] Qatar’s al jazeera/M.E.E or,Turkey’s,TRT/Anadolu.

Actually it is a crappy idea. We have better surveillance tools and can carry weapons. Few Reapers may change the killings.

I know we are aware. But let them be embarrassed by their own Muslim world

“Camera drones” — Yeah, Gary Powers was shot down in his U2 spy plane at 70,000 feet in 1960.

We invented these things called “satellites” around the same time.

I’m wondering if the surveillance we have will be used by Trump as leverage when he has talks with these evil hyenas.

But drones would give you better depth of field.

Iran has managed to take over and crash our best drones.

Do you7 think that Iran doesn’t know that we have extraordinary surveillance capabilities. I mean we did take out their nuke facilities.

We seldom present FACTS to the public because someone will complain it’s too graphic.

For instance, On October 7, 2023, Hamas carried out a major, pre-planned attack on Israeli territory, resulting in the brutal slaughter of approximately 1,200 people. Videos depicting that should have been released to the public. Because we’re too gutless, protests against the Israelis’ response are non-stop.

lol - and for the author’s next article... “Bears Should S**t in the Woods.”

Drones are already monitoring Iran 24/7, and have been for many years.

True, but I’m saying that maybe Trump hasn’t made that surveillance public yet because he wants to hold that threat as a bargaining chip.
