Iran's Revolutionary Guards Shoot Down US 'Spy' Drone
Iran and American military officials said that Iran has shot down a US military drone using a surface-to-air missile.
"The US-made Global Hawk surveillance drone was brought down," the English-language Press TV quoted.
"It was shot down when it entered Iran's airspace near the Kouhmobarak district in the south," the force's website said. However, no images were provided by state television.
The US military denied the report saying, “There was no drone over Iranian territory.”
A senior Iranian security official said that Iran would respond strongly to any violation of its airspace.
The tensions were escalated after two oil tankers came under attack a week ago near the Strait of Hormuz.
The US and its regional allies - Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - have accused Iran of the blasts happened in the Gulf.
