Did Iran breach America's security, what is the truth behind drone sighting in Washington?

The scope of the war between Iran and America-Israel is increasing every day. Meanwhile, a report has come out from America which shows that the spark of war has reached Washington. Washington is the capital of America, where there are strict security arrangements, but now an incident of drone sighting has come to light in Washington. Now the question is arising whether these were Iranian drones? Has Iran penetrated America's strongest security shield? The area where these drones were seen is a US military base in Washington, where many senior ministers and senior army officers live.

American newspaper Washington Post has published a report regarding this, in which there is information about the incident of suspicious drone sighting. Drones were seen flying over Fort Leslie J McNair Base in the dark of night. These drones seen at the military base have not been identified yet. It was not even known where the drones came from. McNair Base is on the banks of the Anacostia River. It is considered a very important military base for America.

How important is this base for America?

This is where the headquarters of the US Central Command is located. The White House and the Pentagon are very close to it. The US Parliament Building i.e. Capitol Hill is also close to McNair Base. From its location it can be estimated how important this base is for America. The special thing is that Foreign Minister Marco Rubio's house is also in this base. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth also lives here.

The residences of senior Pentagon officials are also here. Officers of the National Defense University live here. It is just 4 kilometers south of the White House. This base is the center of Washington's air security. Any air threat to Washington is monitored from here. There was a stir in America after the drone was seen. Security agencies became alert.

High level meeting called in White House

After the incident, a high level meeting was called in the White House, in which the security threat was assessed. Global security alert has been issued for US embassies around the world. The security of the base where the drones were seen was increased to Charlie level, which is considered a very strict level of security.

Apart from this, there is also an idea to shift Marco Rubio and Peter Hegseth. However, no information was given in this regard. Security at many other military bases of America has also been increased to Charlie level, which is done only in case of a possible attack. Actually, 5 level security system has been decided in America. First normal level…when there is no alert of any specific danger.

This airbase had been Iran's target earlier also

Second Alpha…when security forces are asked to remain alert in view of some small possible threat. After this, Bravo…in which security is tighter and the scope of investigation increases. Charlie at number four. This level applies to any major threat alert, in which it is mandatory to conduct a thorough investigation of any base.

The last one is…Delta…which is the most stringent level of security, which is activated only after an attack or in a war situation. By the way, Washington's McNair Airbase has been Iran's target earlier also. Iran's conspiracy was exposed in 2021 also. When America tapped IRGC conversations. In that conversation, a conspiracy to attack the Fort McNair base was revealed.

Planning to take revenge of Sulemani's murder

It was then said that there was a plot to carry out a suicide attack on the base and the target was Vice Chief of Staff Joseph M. Martin. General Martin had his official residence inside the base. It was said that Iran was doing this planning to avenge the killing of Qasim Sulemani, after which the US Army had increased the security of the base.

That means now there is a 3 to 5 level tight security cordon there. There is a separate and strict verification system in every zone. The sky above the entire base is declared 'restricted airspace'. Then how did these drones arrive suddenly? There are many questions on this. Earlier, an alert was issued about a possible drone attack on California in America.

If these were Iranian drones then how did they reach there?

However, it is true that Iran does not have any drone that can directly reach America. So the question is, if these were Iranian drones then how did they reach there? According to experts, the first suspicion is that the drone may have been first transported from Iran to Mexico and then sent towards the US airbase.

The second possibility is that the drone may have been brought in different parts in a shipping container… then assembled in America and launched from there. Or the drone may have been launched from inside America, from an area near the base. There is also a suspicion that an American drone may have been hacked and sent towards the airbase. At present America is investigating it, the information of which has not been made public.
