Iran has shot down a US MQ-1 drone over Qeshm Island, claiming that it is the 17th such unmanned aerial vehicle it has destroyed, according to state broadcaster Press TV.
It cites a statement from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) public relations office, which says the reconnaissance and combat drone was shot down by an advanced air defence system operated by the IRGC Aerospace Force, calling the interception “another failure of enemy reconnaissance missions”.
