Iran Releases Video of Military Shooting Down Unmanned U.S. Drone


The Revolutionary Guard released a statement on Thursday claiming the drone they shot down was launched from a US base south of the Persian Gulf shortly and flew from the Strait of Hormuz towards Chabahar, a city in southeast Iran.

“While returning to the western Hormuz Strait’s region the drone violated Iran’s airspace and engaged in information gathering and spying,” the statement read.

“At 4.05 a.m. local time while the violating airplane was over Iranian territory, [it] was shot down,” it added.
