Iranian Guard Blames US Drone Downing
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down a US drone, an MQ-1 model, over the eastern Strait of Hormuz, marking the fourth such incident in four days amid rising military tensions in the region. The aircraft, which has been in service since the 1990s and is used for surveillance and reconnaissance missions, was intercepted moments earlier by an air defense system belonging to Iran's Space Force, in coordination with the national missile defense network. This escalation by Iran comes as military operations and tensions between Iran and the United States continue to escalate. Iran also announced that fishing boats were targeted in an attack by a US drone, though Washington has not yet officially confirmed the Iranian account or disclosed the precise location of the drone's downing. The risk of disrupting shipping traffic and endangering fishermen and vessels in the Strait of Hormuz is increasing due to the ongoing aerial and naval escalation in the region.
