Iran Guards say 'downed' US drone entering airspace

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards said on Tuesday that they had downed a U.S. drone and shot at other aircraft entering the country's airspace.

U.S. military aircraft "entered Iranian airspace in the Persian Gulf region, and air defence units of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps... identified and shot down an MQ-9 drone," the Guards said in a statement on their Sepah News website.

The Guards forces "also fired upon an RQ-4 drone and an intruding F-35 fighter jet," the statement said, without specifying when the incidents took place.
