BEIRUT,
LEBANON (6:20 A.M.) – The Iranian military has allegedly shot down
a U.S. drone that was flying near the Strait of Hormuz this morning.
The
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air force shot down an “American
espionage drone” that was invading Iranian territory, the IRGC’s
public relations arm said in a statement released on Thursday.
The
drone was flying above Kuh Mubarak in Hormozgan province.
RQ-4s
typically fly at high altitude to conduct reconnaissance missions.
The
US has not yet responded to the allegations, though the Pentagon
accused Iran on Sunday of a failed attempt to shoot down a US Reaper
drone that was observing one of the oil tankers attacked in the Gulf
of Oman last week.
US
CENTCOM spokesman Capt. Bill Urban told the AP, “There was no drone
over Iranian territory.”
