Iran’s foreign ministry has warned the United States over violating Iranian airspace after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps shot down a US drone earlier in the day.
A ministry spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, is quoted by the semiofficial Tasnim news agency as saying that Iran cannot condone the “illegal trespassing and invading of the country’s skies by any kind of foreign flying object.”
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it shot down the American drone over Iranian airspace, while US officials say it happened over international airspace in the Strait of Hormuz.
Mousavi expresses Iran’s “strong objection” and adds that the “invaders will bear full responsibility.”
