At least one Iranian official has confirmed reports the military shot down a United States drone. Ali Aqazadeh Dafsari, a member of Iran’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, claims the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down a drone the CIA was using to “spy” on the Fordo nuclear plant in Qom province.
“An unmanned U.S. spy plane that was flying over the province of Qom, near the Fordo nuclear facility, was brought down by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps’ air defense units,” Dafsari claims. “The plane ... was trying to collect information about the site's location.”
Dafsari did not say when the drone was shot down. U.S. officials say they have no information about the loss of a drone.
