Iranian state-linked media outlets, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), claim the force intercepted and shot down an American MQ-9 drone over the Khormuj area in Bushehr Province, southern Iran. The report is single-sourced and has not been independently verified; the US has not commented.
Iranian media outlets affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported Saturday that the IRGC air defense force intercepted and shot down an American MQ-9 drone over the Khormuj area in Bushehr Province, southern Iran. The claim, which cites the IRGC, has not been independently verified and follows a similar report by The Zioneer two minutes earlier (00:47 Jerusalem). The United States has not confirmed the incident. The IRGC has previously claimed downing US drones in Iranian airspace, including in the Strait of Hormuz and over Bushehr and Khuzestan provinces, but such claims have often lacked independent corroboration.
