How about this failsafe:
Once Iran is confident that they can take control of all our drone aircraft, we put in a small yield bomb of some sort with a multi-hour delay. The delay timer is started once the lock between the drone and the US transmitter is broken. A few hours is probably enough to get the aircraft back to their base where they start dismantling it and *boom*.
And we can have the drones refuel at a remote automated location, so only maintenance is the only time a user would have to get close to the explosive. (Aircraft crews work with potentially armed bombs all the time, so it's not that big of a problem to surmount.)
