mobanmarketDubai: Iran’s air defence force has shot down an “unknown” drone in the country’s south-west, the official IRNA news agency reported on Friday.
###
The agency said that Iranian forces hit the drone in the early morning at Mahshahr, which is in the oil-rich Khuzestan province and lies on the Arabian Gulf.
###
The report did not say whether the drone was a military or commercially available device.
###
Provincial governor Gholamreza Shariati told IRNA that the drone belonged to a “foreign” country and that parts of the drone had been recovered in a nearby lagoon.
###
He said the drone had violated Iran’s airspace.
###
In June, Iran shot down a US surveillance drone in the Strait of Hormuz.
###
Tehran said the drone “violated” its territorial airspace, while the US called the missile fire “an unprovoked attack” in international airspace over the narrow mouth of the Arabian Gulf.
###
Regional tensions remain high over Tehran’s collapsing nuclear deal with world powers, which the US unilaterally withdrew from over a year ago.
