Iran has shot down an 'enemy' drone over the skies of Tehran, according to a report by the Mehr news agency on June 8, 2026. The report did not specify the type of drone or provide further immediate details about the incident.

The development comes as Iran’s integrated air defense network has reportedly achieved significant success against advanced U.S. and Israeli drones, including the MQ-9 Reaper, during recent conflicts. In a related escalation, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a missile strike on a chemical plant in Israel’s Haifa city, describing it as retaliation for an earlier 'American-Israeli' attack on an Iranian petrochemical facility.

The IRGC also warned that further attacks on civilian or energy infrastructure in the region would have global consequences, signaling heightened regional instability and the potential for broader confrontation.
