The Iranian military on May 26 said it downed a U.S. military drone over the Persian Gulf overnight as a spokesperson for the American command in the region confirmed new strikes.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said it downed an MQ-9 Reaper drone and that the Iranian military also fired shots at an RQ-4 Global Hawk surveillance drone and a F-35 fighter jet, the IRGC said in a statement released by Iran’s state-owned broadcaster Press TV.
