Iran - Situation Update

Back in February of 2005, Iran accused the US of sending unmanned spy drones into Iranian airspace for the purpose of spying on alleged nuclear missile sites (which were not found, as the misleading CBS title suggests).

Yesterday, January 16th, Iran purchased short-range, anti-aircraft missiles from Russia, who will "consider further requests."

Also, Iran has apparently shot down a US predator drone that was attempting to cross the border into Iran a few days ago. "Americans send such spy drones to the region every now and then," an Iranian lawmaker remarked. (also reported here)
