Alexis Boon, then head of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, said at the time of his conviction that Amman had a "fierce interest in violence and martyrdom".

"The Coalition conducted 34,763 strikes between August 2014 and the end of December 2019.

"Americans should draw a redline for using this drone against Iran because we are now familiar with all its codes and frequencies; meaning that we can deactivate it not from a 100km distance, but from thousands of kilometers, away from Tehran," General Hajizadeh said last Thursday night on the sidelines of unveiling the new retrieved parts of the MQ4 Triton which was downed by the IRGC back in June 2019.
"We have the biggest collection of drones in the world. We lacked Triton, that was added to the collection. And we will certainly target any other drone that would violate Iran's territory," the IRGC Aerospace Force commander added.
He noted that the MQ4 drone is invaluable, and said, "Each device that you see here is a treasure for us as they provide valuable information and we will use this information."
