Iran has claimed to have shot down a US MQ-9 drone over Khormuj in Bushehr province. The announcement was made by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesperson Hossein Mohbi, who said the action was taken in response to what he described as US military aggression in Iranian airspace.

According to the report, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) carried out direct air and missile strikes inside Iran, describing them as a series of powerful attacks. Iranian media confirmed multiple explosions in the country’s southern region, particularly around Sirik, Qeshm Island near Chabahar, and Bandar Abbas.

Iran has warned that it will take any necessary and strong measures to protect its national security and interests, signaling a potential escalation in tensions between Tehran and Washington.
