This drone story takes me back about 6 mos ago, when there were reports in Iran of UFO sightings. Everyone at the time believed they were U.S. drones. Now, it seems they may have been Iran's?
They are at least producing them:

Iran has supplied Hezbollah with eight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and has trained 30 of the group's operatives to operate them, a senior Iranian official told the London-based Arab daily "al-Sharq al-Awsat".
According to the official, a senior commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, one of those drones was the UAV that managed to penetrate Israeli air space on Sunday.
He added that the drones, which arrived in Lebanon about three months ago, were used in surveillance missions over Iraq in an attempt to monitor the movements of US forces.
The official noted that the UAV carries three cameras, digital radar and electronic broadcasting devices. It is able to reach an altitude of 6,000 feet and reach a maximum speed of 120 km/h.
Iran is in the midst of developing an improved model, which would be able to fly at an altitude of 10,000 feet and cruise at 160 km/h.
According to the paper, Iranian Revolutionary Guards are currently training another group of Hezbollah members to operate UAVs. The training is taking place near the city of Esfahan.
