IRGC claims downing of US MQ-9 drone over southern Iran
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said their air defenses shot down a US MQ-9 drone during ongoing aerial confrontations around the Strait of Hormuz.
According to the IRGC, the drone was approaching the battle area from northern Gulf airspace when it was targeted and destroyed over Jam County in Bushehr Province.
The statement said the MQ-9 had intended to "approach and intervene in the battlefield" before it was brought down by what it described as the Guards' modern air-defense forces.
