The Zioneer reports that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) displayed wreckage of an American MQ-9 drone in the city of Khomeyn, claiming it was intercepted during U.S. military strikes on Iran on Wednesday. The display was reported by Iranian state-affiliated media. The claim is single-sourced and unverified.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) displayed the wreckage of a U.S. MQ-9 drone in Khomeyn, a city in central Iran, according to Iranian reports. The IRGC claims the drone was intercepted during U.S. airstrikes on Iran on Wednesday, September 2. The display follows a separate incident on September 1, when the IRGC claimed to have shot down another MQ-9 in the same area, as The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday. The current claim remains unverified, with no U.S. confirmation or independent corroboration available. The wreckage was publicly shown in Khomeyn, consistent with previous IRGC propaganda displays.
