Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps stated that it shot down two American unmanned aerial vehicles in southern Iran, according to a report by Israeli public broadcaster Kan. The claim is from a single IRGC source and has not been independently verified.
The IRGC claim, published Monday evening, follows a pattern of similar assertions by the force. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, the IRGC claimed to have shot down a US reconnaissance drone over Tehran. The force has also claimed multiple strikes on US military targets in the region in recent weeks, including missile attacks on bases in Kuwait and Bahrain. These claims have largely remained unverified by independent sources, and US officials have not commented on this latest report.
