🇮🇷 Iran’s Parliament has approved a sweeping new law governing drone operations nationwide. Under the new legislation, all civilian drones must be registered, and operators are required to submit flight plans for approval. A central security authority will oversee drone licensing to prevent misuse and potential threats to national security.
Additionally, foreign nationals are now strictly prohibited from buying, selling, or trading drones or their spare parts within Iran. The law aims to close loopholes that may have allowed external actors or domestic threats to exploit drone technology, especially in light of the country’s increased focus on airspace security amid ongoing regional tensions.
The unified licensing system is designed to centralize oversight under Iran’s security apparatus, marking a significant shift toward tighter internal control over aerial technologies.
This move follows a global trend among countries seeking to restrict the civilian use of UAVs amid concerns over surveillance, terrorism, and airspace violations.
