Several big US radar sites have been hit by Iran.
I found a web site which verifies that and provides some details.

There is a nice list of Iranian UAVs (drones) at Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicles_in_the_Iranian_military
I have seen one particular Iranian drone in quite a few recent videos.
I think it is the Shahed 136, which the Russians use and call Geran-1.

I looked a little deeper and there is a Shahed 238 which is similar to
the 136, but has a turbojet engine, 3 times as fast.
Also the Iranians have a stealth UAV classed as a cruise missile. the
IAIO Mobin. Looks like we have a bit of trouble ahead....
Interesting that the US has copied the Shahed 136, it is called LUCAS
