Tensions in the Middle East are spiraling as Iran accuses the United States and Israel of staging false-flag attacks using a reverse-engineered Shahed-136 drone, reportedly called “Lucas.” Tehran claims these strikes on civilian infrastructure in Turkey, Kuwait, and Iraq are designed to frame Iran, sow regional distrust, and isolate the Islamic Republic diplomatically. Iranian officials insist their operations target only U.S. and Israeli military assets and are publicly acknowledged, warning that manufactured attacks risk undermining trust and escalating conflict across the region.
