The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says it has shot down a US drone that entered Iran’s territorial waters, according to Al Jazeera.

Iran’s IRIB broadcaster, carried a statement from the IRGC which said the MQ1 drone “attempted to carry out a hostile operation”.

“It was immediately detected and targeted by the Revolutionary Guard’s modern defence missiles and shot down,” it said.

IRGC said that “any aggression will be dealt with decisively”.
