The United States is stepping up its strategic surveillance over the Persian Gulf, with advanced Triton spy drones now actively monitoring key zones surrounding Iran. These high-altitude, long-endurance aircraft, developed by Northrop Grumman, are capable of tracking naval movements, identifying targets and delivering real-time battlefield intelligence across vast distances. One such Triton drone recently lifted off from Al Dhafra Air Base in the United Arab Emirates, operating under a discreet flight identity before sweeping across critical Gulf airspace. The drone’s path later extended toward Saudi Arabia and Iraq, reinforcing signs of coordinated regional monitoring.
