U.S. officials and analysts say that the Pentagon's first suicide "Shinobi" drone unit is ready and can be deployed if President Trump decides to launch a strike against Iran.

Bloomberg reported that a spokesperson for the US Central Command, Hawkins, said in an email statement that the US Kamikaze drone unit has achieved operational capability. This suicide drone unit, code-named "Task Force Scorpion", was developed from the US military's experimental drone unit.

Hawkins said, "We established this squadron last year with the aim of promptly equipping our combat personnel with the constantly evolving new combat drone capabilities."

This one-way attack drone unit of the United States is part of the largest regional military deployment by the US since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Trump ordered the establishment of this drone unit with the aim of forcing Iran to engage in nuclear negotiations.

The mediator of the US-Iran talks, Oman, said that the talks between the two sides held in Switzerland on Thursday (February 26th) had achieved "significant progress". The two sides will continue their nuclear negotiations next week, but he did not explicitly state that they had overcome the biggest obstacle to reaching an agreement.

Oman's Foreign Minister Badr posted on the X platform on Thursday evening that the third round of indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran, which took place in Geneva on that day, has concluded. After the representatives of both countries reported to their respective governments, the negotiations will resume as soon as possible. "Technical discussions" will be held in Vienna, the capital of Austria, next week.

The Shinra unmanned aerial vehicle team is a type of suicide drone, also known as a wandering ammunition, a cruise ammunition, or a flying missile.
