Iran says it shot down US military drone above territorial waters
Iran said its air defenses intercepted the drone after it entered Iranian airspace, while the United States denied losing any aircraft.
- On Sunday, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed its air defence units shot down a United States MQ-1 drone after it allegedly entered Iranian territorial airspace to conduct "hostile operations."
- Earlier on Tuesday, the IRGC claimed the "legitimate and definite" right to retaliate against United States ceasefire violations, following reports of fresh "self-defence strikes" conducted by the United States.
- Iranian authorities also claimed to have fired at a fighter jet entering its airspace, though there was no immediate confirmation from the United States regarding these military reports.
- Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters declared the management of the Strait of Hormuz is exercised with "full authority" by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy, requiring all vessels to obtain permission.
- Iran warned that any violation of shipping protocols in the Strait will "seriously jeopardise the security of their traffic," mandating commercial vessels and tankers adhere to designated routes.
