During aerial confrontations in the Strait of Hormuz in the early hours of Wednesday, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) air defense forces intercepted and destroyed a US MQ-9 drone in southern Iran.
The intruding drone was said to have approached the battle zone from the skies over the northern Persian Gulf with the intention of intervening in the confrontation.
Iranian officials said the aircraft was targeted by the fire of the IRGC’s modern air defense units over Jam County in the coastal province of Bushehr.
The released footage captures the moment the US military drone was brought down by the IRGC air defense system.
