‘Cuban drone crisis?’ FIU experts, policy leaders discuss security at United Against Nuclear Iran event

FIU

The first-ever public display in Florida of an Iranian-made Shahed-136 drone was held during a press conference by United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), a nonprofit policy organization formed to combat threats posed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.  

Joining former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who chairs the group, and other officials for follow-up discussion were FIU engineering faculty with expertise in the technology. Much of the conversation centered around the potential impact of such devices much closer to home.

UANI CEO Mark Wallace and Congressman Carlos Gimenez referred to the possible “Cuban drone crisis” threat emerging from public reports.
