| [FoxNews] Rep Carlos Gimenez and ex-UN Ambassador Mark Wallace joined Bush at the United Against Nuclear Iran event Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush praised President Donald Trump for his efforts in crippling the Iranian regime,
Bush made the statement at a United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) event on Wednesday, standing next to an Iranian Shahed-136 drone. The Shahed family of drones are cheap but effective kamikaze weapons that Iran has used extensively in the Middle East, in addition to shipping them to Russia for use against Ukraine. "We have decimated Iran's capability to make mischief in the region. There's no doubt about it," said Bush, who is UANI's chairman, adding that he applauds the Trump administration for their work. "I also want to point out that the press reports are that there are 300 of these in Cuba," Bush said, gesturing toward the drone. "We have very good defense capabilities, so this is not a press conference to scare the bejesus out of people. The United States does have capabilities of defending the homeland, for sure," Bush qualified before saying the drones nevertheless pose "a threat." Bush was joined at the event by Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., who warned attendees that while Shahed drones are a "terror weapon," they are also the future of how wars are going to be fought. "This is the face of warfare," he said of the drone, noting that AI capabilities were drastically advancing the effectiveness of drones. "This is how war is going to be carried out in the future, and it's being carried out right now." Gimenez emphasized the effectiveness of drones in the war in Ukraine, where Kyiv's forces have manufactured millions of small explosive drones for their defense, and to great effect. Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mark Wallace, now CEO of UANI, also spoke at the event, calling the Shahed drone "the ubiquitous terror weapon of mass destruction in modern warfare." "This drone has struck our allies across the region, killed American troops, our allies across the region... and has been raining terror across the Middle East at our bases and the like," Wallace said. Wallace told Fox News Digital that the drones in Cuba were transferred years ago, before the current conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
