AJR, I hear what you saying. Would it then be correct if it read as follows:
EXT. SKY - IRAN - NIGHT
Blaaa... blaaa... the drone closing in on its target
EXT. SKY - IRAN - THERAN - NIGHT
Blaaa... Blaaa...
Or, best as you advice: EXT. NIGHT (TEHRAN, IRAN - PRESENT DAY)
?

In slugs you go from largest element to smallest - so for example;
INT. SALLY'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY
So with SKY, you're technically not IN Iran, you're above it. Which is why I wouldn't write it like EXT. SKY - IRAN - NIGHT. Or, what you do is you do EXT. SKY - NIGHT and in your narrative you tell us that "a drone hovers above TEHRAN, IRAN, ready to strike" blah blah blah.
Also Barry, I don't know what "sheek" is - did you mean sleek?
Thanks a lot AJR. I got it now. In narrative... drone over TEHRAN, IRAN

Not much to say here but definitely this sounds like a poetry which is without a rhyme, even without knowing the context of your story or the theme of it, it doesn't fit right. You don't need to go that much colorful with your words. Keep it simple and direct. Don't write as if you're writing a novel.
PS: Speaking of the geographics of Iran. The village will become known as JEZEH, a small rural village in the desert. And TEHRAN plays off as Iran's international airport, which it is.
Jezeh

I liked it, and that’s what I don’t understand either, to be that does read well maybe not the whisper bit but I felt the visualisation of the flying drone and I saw it coming closer to the target, it wasn’t that bad I just don’t get it?
