Morocco is no longer the only one to warn against the danger of Iranian drones infiltrating North Africa through Algeria, and arming the Polisario front. Now, experts and factors in the West also warn of the danger of the spread of Iranian weapons to the Maghreb region.

The fear is that the Iranian drones could also endanger larger areas in North Africa and even Europe. An American expert on strategic affairs, Llewellyn King, recently wrote in an article he published on the Boston Herald website that "Iran has drones that are currently stationed in North Africa and are a direct threat to Morocco." .
King noted that the drones could cause destruction to a variety of targets: from tourist centers to military facilities to electrical infrastructure.
Observers quoted in the "Al-Arab" newspaper said that "the presence of these drones in the hands of an entity that is not recognized internationally and receives orders from the Algerian regime that tends to escalate - could endanger the security of Europe.
The same goes for American and Israeli interests in Morocco."

According to the newspaper, the presence of the drones with the Polisario also poses a risk to the already difficult situation in the region of the west coast of Africa and the Western Sahara, when extremist groups are expanding their influence. This is in the shadow of the crisis between France and some of its traditional allies in Africa. It is also written that there is nothing that will prevent the front of the Polisario Trade drones with jihadist organizations in the region.
It was also reported that many Moroccan diplomats are raising this issue with Western governments.
According to them, Iran cooperates with Algeria and supports the Polisario Front which participates in a guerrilla war against Morocco.
For many years, Morocco has considered the Western Sahara a part of the kingdom and offers to establish autonomy there, while the Polisario claims to establish a new state in the country.
In this context, Morocco scored a diplomatic achievement yesterday when Austrian Chancellor Karl Nahmar confirmed his country's support for the kingdom's proposal to establish an autonomy in Western Sahara.
Either way, the threat of unmanned aerial vehicles is spreading to other areas of the world.
