                          SUICIDE DRONES--IRAN

  (Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, while Iran pretends to want peace, it 
continues to prepare for war. While the administration was negotiating 
a deal regarding Iran's nuclear weapons, Iran was developing new war 
technology.
  Iranian news sources indicate that since 2014, Iran has been 
developing combat suicide drones. This technology uses drones as 
suicide weapons to destroy jet aircraft, helicopters, and even 
warships. The drone development includes drones that elude radar, have 
tracking devices, and fly for hours with a long range.
  The Iranian Supreme Leader even stated while the nuclear weapon 
negotiations were taking place that he wants to destroy the United 
States.
  Suicide drones are yet one more example that Iran is determined to 
have military dominance in the Middle East. Iran wants to annihilate 
Israel and the United States. The United States should not be 
disillusioned by the Iranian ruse claiming it wants peace.
  The best hope for the world is for the people of Iran to rid 
themselves of the warlord mullahs and replace them with a rational, 
nonaggressive government.
  And that is just the way it is.
