Iranian media say 'hostile' drone downed over Persian Gulf

Iranian media reported that forces of the Islamic Republic downed a “hostile drone” over the waters of the Persian Gulf on Monday, after earlier reports of air defense activity near Qeshm Island.

IRGC-affiliated Fars News says Iran used a new air defense system called "Arash the archer" to shoot down the drone.

The report said the drone was shot down using a system with "stealth capabilities," calling it "a signal from us so that no stealth drone can penetrate the skies of the Persian Gulf again."
