Iran claims it shot down a US Reaper drone as reports emerge of missile launches toward Gulf Arab states.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed that its air-defense forces shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone over Khormuj in Bushehr Province following US strikes in southern Iran.
Meanwhile, drone activity was reported over Dubai, while Iranian media claimed that the IRGC launched four missiles from Fars Province toward Gulf Arab countries. There was no immediate independent confirmation of the reported launches or their targets.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf accused Washington of violating the memorandum of understanding by attacking southern Iran and allowing what he called continued “Zionist aggression” against Lebanon.
