Footage of Iran's naval drone line-up has resurfaced as the conflict between the nation and the US and Israel continues.
The US and Israel have waged war against Iran following their strikes on the Middle Eastern nation on 28 February, with the region becoming plagued with conflict.
Iran responded to strikes by firing missiles at Israel as well as other countries in the region, as US military bases are usually targeted.
Strikes from the US would result in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has beenn succeeded by his son, in the midst of several back-and-forth strikes.

Gulf nations then closed their airspaces for safety reasons, with thousands being stranded, as US embassies and landmark hotels were targeted with drone strikes.
US President Donald Trump went as far as claiming that the war with Iran is now 'very complete' following a call with Russia's Vladimir Putin, but Iran's actions say otherwise.
While Trump claimed that Iran's drones are 'being blown up all over the place', footage has been released revealing that Iran have set up a number of mine-laying vessels near the Strait of Hormuz.
Blocking this key shipping lane has had a detrimental effect on the world economy as a fifth of the world's oil supply is distributed and transported through the 50km strait.
Oil tankers are now being targeted, and Iranian propaganda footage from 2025 has resurfaced as people are being made aware of the nation's weaponry.
The Iranian military continues to block the strait and cause the price of oil to skyrocket, by targeting vessels in the region, even setting a couple of them ablaze in their efforts.
Resurfaced propaganda footage shows Iranian underground tunnels filled with naval drones, anti-ship missiles, and sea mines.
Several naval attack boats can be seen in the video, with these being used to launch drones at vessels passing by, which only causes trouble for the world's economy.
Iran has previously threatened to use its '100 metre a second' underwater missiles, bragging that only they and Russia own them.
They have threatened to send oil prices up to $200 per barrel, after they reached $120 on Monday (9 March).
"We have missiles that are fired from underwater and their speed is one hundred meters per second and we may use them in the coming days," Senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) General Fadavi claimed.
Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf further warned: "Any aggression against soil of Iranian islands will shatter all restraint. We will abandon all restraint and make the Persian Gulf run with the blood of invaders."
Reports broke this week that Tehran's strikes on oil tankers in the Persian Gulf has resulted in the death of at least one crew member.
Iraq's director general of the General Company for Ports, Farhan al-Fartousi, revealed that the horrific incident took place when ships were operating in Iraqi territorial waters.
He added: “Two foreign tankers carrying Iraqi fuel oil were subjected to unidentified attacks inside territorial waters, causing them to catch fire.”
The US military revealed on Tusday that they had attacked and destroyed 16 Iranian vessels, with CNN detailing that 'a few dozen mines' had been placed in the region.
