It is called Zohal (Saturn).
It was unveiled last Wednesday at a ceremony attended by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenehi, suggesting the importance the government attaches to it.
The announcement described Zohal’s picture taking capabilities in some detail, revealing that its photos were in high-definition. But the announcement said not a word about the flying saucer’s propulsion system, its range or the length of time it could stay airborne—all key elements for reconnaissance drones.
Nor did the announcement say anything about its size—although the implication was that this flying saucer 
may be saucer-sized since the developers said it could fly indoors as well as outdoors.
The announcement also said the saucer was very quiet, implying that it could be used to take photos from a short distance without being noticed.
The photo distributed by the Fars news agency showed what appeared to be a flying saucer straight out of a Hollywood sci-fi movie of a half-century ago. It wasn’t clear if this was a photo of Iran’s flying saucer or if some wag at Fars had used a photo of a flying saucer straight out of a Hollywood sci-fi movie of a half-century ago.
The Iranian Students News Agency used an entirely different photo to illustrate its story—and that photo did not look anything like a saucer.
The term “flying saucer” was used by both the Fars news agency and the Iranian Students News Agency in their English-language news reports on the surveillance drone.
