Re-checked with the date rule + auditor: auditor: Headlines show alleged offers/plans/tech links (unconfirmed by US probes) but no confirmed actual export of drones to Iran used against America, so evidence is too speculative to establish even a firm leaning trend. -

Not a forecast (claim audit 2026-09-26, operator-approved): in the 2026-04-02 lecture Jiang described something already true or under way. He uses present-tense 'can also export' describing an existing capability rather than forecasting a future action that had not yet occurred.
