Trump has vowed Iran will “pay the price” after it launched
multiple strikes on US bases throughout the Middle East.

The latest escalation came up after the US bombed Iran in
response to a Shahed drone downing an American Apache helicopter
in the Gulf of Oman. The crew were rescued by an unmanned boat -
a US first. Venetia Rainey speaks to former US Deputy Secretary
of Defence Kathleen Hicks about what this week’s events tell us
about the growing role of autonomous systems in the
military.

Plus, what is the Pentagon’s plan to combat the drone threat
posed by enemies from Iran to China - and is it moving fast
enough? Hicks and Aaron Sherman from the Atlantic Council talk
about the Replicator project they launched in 2023 in the
Department of Defence and why it’s more vital than ever.
